The Charts: Big Shake-Up Starring WOW Gospel & James Fortune
by EJ on Feb.04, 2010 at 9:08 am, under Industry
I kept saying a shake-up would come, and it kinda did.
The newest project in the WOW Gospel series has debuted at #1 on Billboard’s Gospel Albums chart.
James Fortune & FIYA’s newest album, Encore, debuted at #2. He said yesterday, via Twitter, that Encore sold more in one week than his last album, The Transformation, sold in 6 months’ time!
The fun industry moment that I predicted last week didn’t take place… though James Fortune debuted #2, his older project, The Transformation, got bumped outta the top 10. It sits at #11, though, so stay tuned… maybe he’ll have two albums in the top 10 next week.
WOW Gospel, however, DID manage to have two albums in the top 10– in addition to the 2010 release debuting at #1, WOW Gospel 2009 sits at #9. Well, kudos to Y’ALL then!
With last week’s releases, BeBe & CeCe Winans’ reunion project, Still, drops from the #1 spot for the first time since its release, landing at #3. Tamela Mann is holding strong at #4, followed by Fred Hammond’s Love Unstoppable at #5.
Time Life Entertainment’s latest rendevous into the gospel marketplace, Shouting Down The Aisles, debuted at #8 on the charts.
Hmm… I think those are the highlights. Whatd’ya think???

I think we should give Bebe and Cece there props for being #1 since the release of their album… Did they go Gold?
