In its first week at retail, Chris Tomlin's Arriving (sixsteps/Sparrow) landed the No. 1 spot on the Praise & Worship SoundScan chart.

SoundScan reported 22,349 copies of the recording sold, landing the album at No. 1 on the Praise & Worship chart, No. 3 on the Top Current Contemporary Christian chart and No. 39 on the Billboard Top 200. Tomlin's fastest-selling recording to date, Arriving more than quadrupled the debut sales of his lauded sophomore release, Not To Us. Receiving a mention today in USA Today for its sales success, Arriving also outsold release week debuts by general-market acts Elvis Costello, Willie Nelson and Lil' Romeo.
