Padding those numbers- reporting false results obtained through sales and surveys- in the recording (or book, or movie) industries, most products are ranked by items sold- and sometimes companies or individuals will provide false information that makes it look like they have higher sales than they really have.
Third Coast agent- from the south east US- centered around the Houston Texas area
Sells out arenas- enough people buy tickets to fill up large cencert halls
makes BIllboard top 20- sells enough of their music to make the list of top sellers in Billboard magazine- this rating also reflects the amount of play the music receives on the radio
Spot on Christian charts for 11 weeks running- this is the list of most popular Christian songs and his songs or album has been the most popular for a total of 11 weeks in a row
Gibson acoustic- a regular wooden guitar- not electric
