Nearly nine months after it was first released, Gospel reggae pioneers Christafari have jumped to #1 on this week's Billboard Reggae Albums Chart with their latest album, Reggae Worship: A Roots Revival.
While Christafari is no stranger to the Top 10 on the Reggae chart,
this marks the first time in Billboard's history that a Christian band
has secured the top spot.
On Reggae Worship: A Roots Revival, Christafari reworks classic hymns, reinterprets many of
today's top worship anthems and gives fans a handful of original worship
songs that truly capture the band's signature sound.
"We've been blown away by the positive response from our fans and the
press for our latest album," says Christafari's founder and frontman,
Mark Mohr. "To think that just a year ago we were asking our fans to
help fund this album and now we are #1 on the Billboard chart! It's an
honor to be the very first Christian artist to ever top this mainstream
chart-and to do so with a worship album is even more incredible!"
