THE OAK RIDGE BOYS ALBUM “ROCK OF AGES” BREAKS INTO BILLBOARD TOP 10
Hendersonville, TN, (June 8. 2015) Country music legends The Oak Ridge Boys have proven this month that gospel music is as popular as ever, after Billboard Magazine posted its June 13 sales charts. Rock of Ages, the latest album release from the Country Music Hall of Fame inductees, has broken into the Billboard Christian Album Top 10. According to Billboard, the album is also the greatest gainer on the Christian Albums chart for the reporting period.
Country music legends and American music icons The Oak Ridge Boys released an all-new gospel recording, May 26th. Rock of Ages, Hymns and Gospel Favorites (Gaither Music Group), a 15-song project produced by Ben Isaacs (Gaither Vocal Band, The Isaacs) and group member Duane Allen, showcases the group’s award-winning, four-part harmonies and celebrates their musical roots.
“All of The Oak Ridge Boys are men of faith,” Allen says. “We were raised in four different states, but we were all brought up in homes where our parents taught us about Jesus and believing in God. All of the Oaks grew up singing in church. These songs are some of the first we learned to sing. Their messages of hope, love, assurance, faith, heaven and, basically, how to live formed the foundation of each of us.
Rock of Ages debuted at No. 1 on the Nielsen SoundScan Southern Gospel chart when it entered wide release May 26. Since that time it has risen from a No. 38 debut on the Billboard Christian Albums chart to its current position at No. 8. The album is being distributed through Capitol Christian Distribution and is available in general market stores, as well as in the Christian marketplace and online retailers. Rock of Ages marks the 14th time in the group’s 40-year history that an Oak Ridge Boys album has reached a Billboard Top 10 and their 26th album to break Billboard top 40 charts.
