GOSPEL MAJORS: Big Sales, Big Problems in the Big Leagues
by Bob Darden
Billboard Magazine, October 10, 1987
.
“As for sales, our biggest release over the past 12 months has been Steve Green’s ‘For God And God Alone.’ It’s still our biggest seller and still in the top 10 more than 11 months after it was initially released. And from both a sales standpoint and a ministry standpoint it has been a tremendous project for us.

Right behind the Green project were Deniece Williams’ first gospel release ‘So Glad I Know‘ and White Heart’s first Sparrow album, ‘Don’t Wait For The Movie‘. The White Heart album spawned three No. 1 singles, a first for the contemporary Christian music single charts.”

“The whole John Michael Talbot catalog continues to amaze us,” Hearn says. “He is a tremendous staple, one we don’t take for granted. He doesn’t catch the fancy of magazines like Contemporary Christian, but he sells a tremendous amount of records. He’s in all the Catholic catalogs and something like 125 stores have permanent displays of his catalog. And while he hasn’t been in the public eye in the past, I think performing with Deniece Williams in September for Pope John Paul II will probably change all of that.

I guess our biggest news in the summer of ’87 was the success in both Christian and mainstream charts of the BeBe and CeCe Winans’ record, “I.O.U. Me“, Hearn says. “It is quite simply God’s timing. Capitol Records is doing well with it – they were specifically signed to a long-term contract with Capitol as well as Sparrow. Capitol’s so pleased with the response that they’ve scheduled three singles from the album.

Elsewhere, in video, we’ve got the new Stormy Omartian ‘Low Impact Aerobics’ video, Steve Taylor’s ‘Limelight‘ tour video and a new in-store video promotion called ‘Wrap It Up, Great Video Gifts for Under $25.'” [Excerpt from the Billboard article]
