A CHRISTIAN music chart
has been launched in the UK for the first time.
The Official Christian
and Gospel Albums Chart was launched on Monday by the Official
Charts Company (OCC). It will be published every Monday, and will
be broadcast by the Christian radio stations UCB and Premier
Radio.
The managing director of the Christian record label Integrity
Music, Jonathan Brown, said: "Christian music has always been a
part of society in bringing hope and encouragement. With the
development of this new chart, it will bring significant profile to
this growing genre." www.officialcharts.com
