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'.
