Earnest Pugh Debuts At #1 On Billboard's Top Gospel Sales Chart
Gospel Sensation EARNEST PUGH's The W.I.N. (WORSHIP IN NASSAU) EXPERIENCE debutes at #1 on Billboard's Top Gospel sales chart this week.
"It's impossible to articulate in words what I am feeling right now," said Pugh."Though it's my 6th CD release, my heart leaps with joy and appreciation today as it did 15 years ago when I released my very first CD! I am blown away by the response, love, and support of the W.I.N. project. I have been blessed with an amazing team such as Grammy Award-Winning Producer Cedric Thompson, and I also salute every soloist that participated. Finally, thanks to the P-Man Admin Staff, Damon Stewart, TKO Marketing & PR, P-Man Management Team, and Central South Distribution (CSD) for all your efforts of marketing, distributing and promoting the W.I.N. project. You all put your hands to the plow and never looked back."
Produced by Thompson, the 12-song CD features Gospel legends including Bishop Rance Allen, Multi-Grammy® Award-Winning Singer Pastor Shirley Caesar, LeJeune Thompson, Vincent Tharpe & Kenosis, Angel Davis, and Michelle Prather. The W.I.N. Experience also includes a full-length DVD and features the top single "I Believe You Most" on which Pugh collaborated and produced with J. Moss and PAJAM. The CD is released through independent label P-Man Music in partnership with Central South Distribution. Recorded live in Nassau, Bahamas at the Atlantis Hotel (Grand Ball Room) the CD commemorates Pugh's "20-15 Celebration," which recognizes 20 years in ministry and 15 years in the music industry. The live recording was a part of the Radio One "One Love Getaway to the Bahamas" this past May.
