2nd Chance is the second album of gospel singer
Karen Clark Sheard, released on July 30, 2002. The release was much ballyhooed for several reasons. Sheard was only the 2nd
gospel artist signed to
Elektra Records, and this was her debut for the label. It was also her first release since the success of her
Grammy-nominated debut
Finally Karen, and a long bout with illness had delayed any releases from her since. The album peaked at #2 on the
Billboard Gospel Charts, #3 on the Billboard Contemporary Christian Charts, and #82 on the Billboard 200.
