    I would like to read a discussion on the topic of Christian SoundScan creates exclusive sales chart for singing news, that was posted in the may 2018 issue of SN.

      My first observation after seeing the chart posted in the June issue is that as a general rule, it would appear that Southern Gospel DJs are not playing the same groups that Southern Gospel fans are buying.

      Well, they are playing most of them, I guess, but I just noticed several groups that have reached number one on the airplay charts in recent months are not selling enough product to make the list.
