The end of the year sales numbers will be coming out soon (check back for the top sellers in Gospel and Christian music) but right now we just want to put out our picks for the year not based solely on sales but based on what we like.
So now I need YOU! Yes I need all of my readers to vote for the best in 2011. Take a look below of our top five and let me know what you think. If you see your favorites great vote for them. If you think we left somebody off the list then let me know that too. I can’t wait to see your feedback. You can send your votes or comments to gospel@bellaonline.com or tweet me at @bellagospel.
