Thursday Billboard Update - 3/25/10

Lady Antebellum
Gospel singer Marvin Sapp makes Billboard history with his new album Here I Am. At #2 with 76,000 sold, Sapp now has the highest ranking Gospel album in the Billboard 200's 54-year history. What else is there to say but God is good.

Rihanna's Rude Boy hangs on at #1, but the pressure is being laid on thick by B.o.B's Nothin On You (5-2) and Lady Gaga's Telephone (9-3). And with Drake's Over (35-17) bound for a spot in the top 10 sooner than later, this should be an interesting few weeks ahead of us.
