Marvin Sapp tops the charts + top gospel songs
When Marvin Sapp’s hit gospel song “Never Would Have Made It” touched hearts and topped charts after its release, who knew that his new song “The Best in Me” would go on to do even better.
Marvin Sapp’s new gospel music album, Here I Am, is #2 on the Billboard 200 chart, #1 on Billboard’s Gospel Albums chart, #1 on Billboard’s R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart, and the gospel song “The Best in Me” is #1 on Billboard’s Top Gospel Songs chart.
To me this means that this gospel music album is touching not only those who love and support gospel, but it’s resonating with those whose musical choice may not be gospel music. It has sold over 75,000 copies and is the highest ranking gospel music album so far on the Billboard Top 200.
It’s a great song and I’m happy to see its success. Be sure to be a part of history and purchase your copy.
Other gospel songs topping Billboard’s Top Gospel Songs chart are Earnest Pugh’s “Rain on Us” at #2 , Fred Hammond “They That Wait” at #3, James Fortune “Encore” at #4, and “Grace” by BeBe & CeCe Winans rounds it out at #5.
One of my favorite gospel songs right now is “I Want To Say Thank You” by Lisa Page Brooks. Her song is currently #11 on Billboard’s Top Gospel Songs chart up from #16 last week.
