Making a splash in its first week, Anchor debuted at No. 1 on four charts. This was Dixon’s second No. 1 album debut, following in the footsteps of his successful debut LP, A Messenger, which set the record for biggest first-week sales by a new solo Christian act. A Messenger was the No. 1 selling album of 2013 by a new Christian artist and the No. 9 best-selling album of 2013 in the Christian genre overall.
