21:O3 Debuts at No.1 on Billboard's Gospel Album Chart
The gospel music duo 21:O3 may have named their latest EP Outsiders, but they are proving that they belong on the gospel music scene with their latest project rising to the top of Billboard's Gospel Album chart.
After releasing their EP, Outsiders late last month 21:O3 members Evin Martin, 30, and Torrence Greene, 27, have debuted at number one. The pair seemed elated to accomplish the feat, and took to social media to glorify God and thank their fans and the team that contributed to their strong debut.
"Ahhh we are sooo excited, elated and thankful to all of you #Outsiders who purchased the album!!! To God be the Glory," the group's Instagram page reads. "Thank you for your tireless efforts and your PUSH. @greenelights @evinamiri it's been a journey. I wish I could say 'you don't know how hard we worked."
They went on to write, "BUT you do #Outsiders. You've seen our grind, work ethic and passion for Christ."
When 21:O3 spoke to The Christian Post earlier this year, they spoke about the importance of their new project. Aside from hearing Evin and Torrence refine their sound and exercising their songwriting, fans of the group will notice another major difference on the album ... one member is missing. Since 21:O3 was introduced as a trio, group member Jor'el Quinn has moved on.
However, they insisted that their sound is stronger than ever, and they have a renewed sense of confidence that goes along with it.
"Before there was always a little trepidation because we were looking for the saints to accept us. Like, 'please like us and what we have,'" Evin admitted to The Christian Post. "Now we're just comfortable being outsiders. This is our sound, we don't sound like anybody else, and we're ok with that."
