It depnds on how chart position is calculated. Sales of a certain genre? 
Or sales in certain outlets? Or a combination thereof? Does an Amy Grant 
album sold in Sam Goody chart on Christian charts? Would Bob Dylan's 
"Slow Train Coming" or "Shot of Love", sold in Family Bookstore chart on 
a Christian chart?

Just proof that the whole radio and chart industry is, in the words of 
Kriss Kross, wiggety wack.
