On September 17, Billboard reported that Lecrae became the first artist to chart [For Anomaly] at #1 Billboard Gospel Albums & the Billboard 200 and just the fifth to sit atop Billboard Christian Albums & the Billboard 200 (Chris Tomlin’s Burning Lights, tobyMac’s Eye On It, LeAnn Rimes’ You Light Up My Life – Inspirational Songs, and Bob Carlisle’s Butterfly Kisses ‘Shades of Grace’ were the others). The Reach Records co-founder has made history again!
Lecrae’s song, “Nuthin,” has hit the number 1 spot on the Billboard Christian Rock National Airplay chart. The Gawvi-produced track is right above Anberlin’s “Hearing Voices” and has been on the chart for 16 weeks. This is the first time a Christian Hip Hop song has risen to the top of the radio chart. On October 24, Jam The Hype reported the impact Lecrae was having on Christian radio. Since that article, Lecrae’s “Nuthin” moved from #4 to #1 on the Christian Rock National Airplay chart.
Congrats to Lecrae and Reach Records for continuing to make history!
