Josiah Queen’s ‘Damascus Road’ Debuts at No. 1 on Top Christian Albums
The singer-songwriter’s third leader marks his biggest week by equivalent album units.
Josiah Queen has achieved a significant milestone in his music career with the release of his latest album, Damascus Road, which debuted at the top spot on Billboard's Top Christian Albums chart. The album opened with an impressive 27,000 equivalent album units in its first week, a remarkable figure according to Luminate. This strong debut marks Queen's third No. 1 on the chart, having previously reached the top spot with his albums Mt. Zion in 2025 and The Prodigal in 2024.
The album's success is further highlighted by its performance on other charts. It opened at No. 4 on the Americana/Folk Albums chart and No. 16 on the Billboard 200, with all rankings dated November 7. Including collaborative albums, only four artists have managed three or more No. 1 debuts in the same two-and-a-half-year span since the chart's methodology was updated in 2017. Queen's rapid ascent to chart success underscores his growing influence and popularity in the Christian music scene.
