Top Gospel Albums

Top Gospel Albums is a music chart published weekly by Billboard magazine in the United States, ranking the popularity of gospel albums. As of Tuesday, January 31, 2017 (with the charts dated February 11, 2017), it uses the same multi-metric methodology developed for the Billboard 200, which incorporates traditional album sales, track equivalent albums (TEA) and streaming equivalent albums (SEA).[1]

The first number-one album was Rough Side of the Mountain by Rev. F.C. Barnes & Rev. Janice Brown on the chart dated November 26, 1983.[2] The current number-one album on the chart is Donda by Kanye West.[3]
