Chapman's first album, First Hand (1987), was released on Sparrow Records; although the album did not chart, three of its singles reached the top ten on the CCM Update Christian radio charts.

Chapman would release five more studio albums in the 1990s, all of which reached the No. 1 position on the Christian Albums chart. For the Sake of the Call (1990), The Great Adventure (1992), and Signs of Life (1996) achieved gold certifications, while Heaven in the Real World (1994) and Speechless (1999) were certified platinum, signifying sales of over one million copies in the United States. He also recorded two other gold albums in the 1990s: the Christmas album The Music of Christmas (1995) and the compilation album Greatest Hits (1997). Chapman recorded 22 No. 1 singles on the Adult Contemporary chart in the 1990s, with "The Great Adventure" ranking as the No. 1 single on the 1990s decade-end Adult Contemporary chart.[2]

Chapman's next two albums, Declaration (2001) and All About Love (2003), were his highest-charting albums on the Billboard 200, peaking at No. 14 and 12, respectively; they were both certified gold by the RIAA. In addition to All About Love, All Things New (2004), This Moment (2007), and Beauty Will Rise (2009) all reached the No. 1 position on the Christian Albums chart.
