Billboard magazine identifies best selling Christian albums in US
THE YEAR-END Charts published in US trade magazine Billboard
demonstrate the diversity of today's Christian music. Wrote Billboard,
"Christian music is the only genre defined by lyrical content, not
musical style. Therefore, it's no surprise to see country, rock,
hip-hop, pop and worship music all represented among the top titles on
Billboard's year-end Christian music charts." The 10 top selling
albums in the US were: 1. Various - 'Wow Hits 2007'; 2. Alan Jackson -
'Precious Memories'; 3. Flyleaf - 'Flyleaf'; 4. Casting Crowns - 'The
Altar And The Door'; 5. Toby Mac - '[Portable Sounds]'; 6. Chris
Tomlin - 'See The Morning'; 7. Relient K - 'Five Score And Seven Years
Ago'; 8. Various - 'Three Wooden Crosses'; 9. Mat Kearney - 'Nothing
Left To Lose'; and 10. Jeremy Camp - 'Beyond Measure'.
I'm looking at the list and all I can see is white people. Where's the diversity in that?
Ed,
I hear your comment and understand where you are coming from .. however one could say where are all the white people in Gospel OBTW .. its sales that dictate the list ...
