What would a quarterly wrap be without a tie. And we get it out of the way right away. It's a two way tie, and first up is Gospel Music.
Gospel/R&B
- Kirk Franklin - Long Live Love
- Gloria Gaynor - Testimony
- Byron Juane - Hopeful Soul EP
- Karlos Nichols - Be Alright EP
- Titus Showers - Who? EP
And we are underway. I know there are a lot of the older folk out there who say, "Gloria Gaynor is Christian?" Yes, she's come a long way from "I Will Survive". The second part of our tie is Hard Rock and Metal. Until then, I am Awaiting Your Reply.
Or The Big One, if you must be grammatically correct. We have finally come to our third quarter wrap during eligibility year #PVX. Also those with me from the start know that I start out with a megapost, because I have a minimum bar of 5 entries for a genre to have a solo post. This quarter we ran into a problem. Four genres have only 1 entry, which even combined would not make the minimum bar, and then we have a three and a four. So here it is a 6 genre, 11 album post. I wont even try to come up with a cutesy title. Let's get to....the big one.
Children's Music
- Gateway Kids Worship - All of Me EP
Compilation Album
- Dear Gravity - The Pilgrimage Series: Departure
Instrumental Music
- Dear Gravity - The Pilgrimage Series: Departure
Rap/Hip-Hop
- Brinson - Reversing Tomorrow
- 5ive - Family Business
- J-Heir - Headstrong
Remix Album
- August Burns Red - Constellations (Remixed)
- Jesus Loves Electro - Made To Be Remixes EP
- TobyMac - Scars (Come With Livin) Remixes EP
- Branan Murphy - Coming Home Remixes EP
And We are underway. We move on to our single genre posts right away. Until next time, I am Awaiting Your Reply.
