Billboard magazine has been around for over 100 years beginning in 1894.  Of course years and time changed the magazine as it changed hands many times since its beginning.  After one of the original founders William Donaldson died in 1952 the entertainment magazine went to his children and his co founder\'s James Hennegan\'s children; they held it until sold to private investors in 1985.

This is where my "Gospel" charting research landed to April 6, 1985 where a "Top SPIRITUAL Albums" chart yielded the top 40 albums by Black/African American artists were listed.

\\n

This show not only highlights the Top 10, but includes short clips of songs found on the albums.  With the number 1 Top Spiritual Album by Vanessa Bell Armstrong entitled Chosen.  You will also find an album which shown to have been on the charts for 97 weeks!
