New York, NY (CNS) – Two-time Grammy Award-winning duo Mary Mary now holds the record for the longest climb on Billboard’s top 10 as their single “God in Me” jumped from 11 to 10 in its 42nd week on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs.

The track is also celebrating its 7th consecutive week at the no.1 spot on Billboard’s Hot Gospel Songs chart.

“The Sound,” which carries “God in Me,” occupied the top spot for more than six months since its October 2008 release and was also no.1 for 15 consecutive weeks from April 19. It spent four weeks at no.1 on the Billboard Top Christian Albums chart.

Mary Mary – consisting of sisters Erica and Tina Campbell – performed “God in Me” with Queen Latifah at the 2008 BET Awards, where they have been named Best Gospel Artist for this year.

“Other stuff” being her new country music career– get your minds out of the gutters! Jessica Simpson must be consoled since her on-off relationship with Tony Romo is pretty shaky, most likely thanks to none other than Papa Joe.

Besides that, it looks like Jessica has finally found her niche: her single “Come on Over” debuted at number 41 on Billboard country singles charts. That makes Jessica the highest charting debut solo artist of all time, beating out Brad Cotter and Miranda Lambert who had debuted at 42. I’m impressed, and so is Jessica:

I got chills and butterflies in my stomach. It felt like the first time I heard myself on the radio when I was 19. Country is where my heart is. It’s refreshing to share something that feels so close to home. I am so honored to become a part of the country community.

Yay! That’s something to take her mind off of the horrific managing rumors about her dad.
