Sisters, Tina and Erica Campbell, of the gospel duo Mary Mary, have been a hit in their new reality TV show on WE tv, and are a compelling reason to tune into the network on Thursday nights.

Season one went so well that the network just gave the green light for a second season set to air this fall.

The hour-long episodes look into the personal lives of the Grammy-winning group as they seek to balance their own households as mothers and wives while promoting their music.  Their new album, “Go Get It,” is was released on Tuesday and is in stores now.

Congratulations to Tina & Erica on their new CD “Go Get It” which was released in stores today May 8th!

The ladies are busy not only with the CD but with family and their new reality TV show “Mary Mary.”

Just recently R&B artist Jill Scott posted a tweet praising Mary Mary’s reality show which just so happens to air during the same time slot as the Braxton’s Family Values (singer Toni Braxton & family) did.

Jill’s tweet says, “Please watch Mary Mary on WE tv. Finally a real representation. Yay!!!!!”  Moments later Tamar (one of the Braxton sisters) tweeted back a comment letting viewer know that she was upset over the comment or compliment to the Mary’s.  Heated tweets went back and forth… and you can see more at:  http://singersroom.com/content/2012-05-08/EXCLUSIVE-Mary-Mary-Addresses-BraxtonJill-Scott-Twitter-Drama/#ixzz1uI0KG2cL

After all the heated exchange, Mary Mary chimed back in with a thanks (in their own words) to all that enjoy the show and a thanks to Jill as well as Tamar, who is obviously following them as well.

2011 was a year with so many great Gospel songs, but fans voted “Nobody Greater” by VaShawn Mitchell as the best of the year in the Digital Gospel Music Awards, presented by Elev8! He beat out great songs by some of Contemporary Gospel artists, and received 487 votes, which was enough win 22% of all votes.

Second place was a tight race, with William McDowell‘s “I Give Myself Away” and “I Smile” by Kirk Franklin getting 16% of the Digital Gospel Music Awards votes for Best Gospel Song of the Year. McDowell’s 374 votes were just enough to help him secure Franklin’s 369 votes.

“He Has His Hands On You” by Marvin Sapp, Deitrick Haddon‘s “Well Done” and “I Believe” by James Fortune, came in fourth, fifth and sixth place, respectively. Rounding out the list are Wess Morgan‘s “I Choose To Worship,” ”Walking” by Mary Mary, and “Over & Over” by Trin-i-tee 5:7. Troy Sneed‘s “My Heart Says Yes” was surpassed for the last spot on the Best Songs of 2011 top 10 by Le’Andria Johnson‘s “Jesus” by receiving 41 write-in votes.
