Tamela Mann Ties Kirk Franklin's Record

On April 2nd, Tamela Mann is owning billboards gospel airplay chart right now, with her track

Live Breathe Fight, holding the top spot for two.

Straight weeks on March 28th in April 4th.

This marks her 13th number one overall, the most ever for any woman on that chart, and

it ties her with Kirk Franklin for the all-time lead.

She's now got seven consecutive number ones under her belt, building on a streak that's

kept her dominant in gospel radio for years.

Things blown away by the milestone, especially sharing the record with Franklin, her fellow

Fort Worth, Texas native.

She's just as thankful today as she was for that first chart topper back in 2012.

Her breakout hit Take Me to the King, ruled for 25 weeks, and she stacked up more like,

uh, change me for 14 weeks in 2000.

Seventeen plus God provides, and her cover of, I can only imagine, each for 13 weeks.

Right now, she and Franklin lead the pack, ahead of folks like James Fortune and FIYA

or Tasha Cobb's Leonard with Tin-Each.

What's driving this success?
