Teen sensation Jekalyn Carr ends 2016 spending 30 consecutive weeks in the Top 5 on Billboard’s Gospel Airplay chart with her #1 hit single “You’re Bigger.” The single debuted in the Top 5 on June 6, and landed at #1 on Sept. 14, spending four non-consecutive weeks in that position.
Earlier this month Billboard Magazine released its 2016 “Year-End” charts and named “You’re Bigger” as the 2nd most played Gospel song on radio this year and also claimed six other top positions in the Top 15 throughout several Gospel charts, including: Gospel Airplay Artists (#5), Hot Gospel Songs Artists (#6), Top Gospel Artists (#8), Hot Gospel Songs (#8), Gospel Digital Songs Artist (#9) and Gospel Digital Songs charts (#11). Additionally, “You’re Bigger” spent four non-consecutive weeks on Billboard’s Gospel Digital Songs chart.
“You’re Bigger” is the first official single from Carr’s third album The Life Project, which debuted at #1 on Billboard’s Top Gospel Albums and iTunes Top 200 Digital Christian/Gospel Albums charts. The album also made a significant impact on Billboard’s Combined Christian/Gospel Albums chart (#6), Billboard’s Overall Top Albums Chart (#108) and landed in the Top 40 on iTunes Top 200 Pop Albums Chart.
Jekalyn encompasses the right kind of substance in which great Gospel artists are made. She understands the dynamic and sacrifices she has to make for her ministry and platform, and she does them willingly, because her focus is on the greater good-impacting people. Her gift, passion, character, integrity, talent, and sacrifice is evident in everything she does and she is more than deserving of this moment.
Congrats Jekalyn!!!!!!!
