Mary Mary’s latest CD “The Sound“ holds the top spot in part because of the success of the disc’s #1 hit single “God In Me.”
The Sound has occupied the #1 slot on the Billboard Gospel Album chart for more than six months since its release in October 2008 and has been #1 for 15 consecutive weeks beginning April 19. The Sound has also spent four weeks at #1 on the Billboard Top Christian Albums chart.
This latest single features Kierra “Kiki” Sheard on the track with the visionary blending of urban, hip-hop and pop elements that is the signature sound of Mary Mary.
Mary Mary performed “God in Me,” with guest artist Queen Latifah, at the 2009 BET Awards, where the pair was named this year’s Best Gospel Artist.
It was an award-winning week for gospel duo Mary Mary, who were awarded a 2009 NAACP Image Award for Outstanding Gospel Artist in a ceremony held in Los Angeles.
Hot on the heels from their win for Best Gospel Performance at Grammy Awards ceremony, the win marked the first time sisters Erica and Tina Campbell won an NAACP Image Award and added to the many accolades they have received for their chart-topping album, The Sound, which released last October.
“2009 is truly shaping up to be the year of Mary Mary for the dynamic duo sisters Erica & Tina Campbell,” Mary Mary’s publicists announced. “The win adds to Mary Mary’s growing assortment of awards and achievements which include two Grammys, an American Music Award, Stellar Awards, BET Awards, and more.”
