Colton Dixon

THE ANSWER TO THEIR PRAYERS: Big ups to 19 ruler Jason Morey and the firm's new Nashville office head, Jim Weatherson--not to mention Steve Barnett's Capitol Music Group--on the breakout success of 19/Sparrow artist Colton Dixon. His boffo 22k+ bow with The Messenger represents the second-highest artist debut in Christian music in the history of the Soundscan era (behind only The Almost, who moved 29k out of the gate in 2007). Dixon's opening also represents the highest solo new-artist debut in Christian music during the aforementioned musical epoch. Even a bunch of infidels like us can count those blessings. (2/6p)
