Anne Wilson has become the first female solo artist to hit No. 1 with a debut song on the National Christian Airplay chart since the chart’s inception in 2003 with her single, “My Jesus.”

The song, co-written by Wilson, Matthew West, and Jeff Pardo, topped the radio charts in just 14 weeks, and has held the top position for multiple consecutive weeks on the Hot Christian Songs chart, which combines airplay, sales and streaming data.

The video for “My Jesus” has more than 5.3 million YouTube views and 14 million views on Facebook, and the song has charted on both the Spotify Viral 50 chart and Shazam Top 200. With her three-single EP, My Jesus, along with the recently released live EP My Jesus (Live in Nashville), Wilson has amassed more than 37 million streams.

“We are honored to partner with Anne and release her music to the world,” shares CCMG Co-Presidents Brad O’Donnell and Hudson Plachy. “The unprecedented success of ‘My Jesus’ is just the beginning, and we cannot wait to see what is to come for Anne.”

Wilson will make her debut on the Opry stage this weekend on Sept. 4. She can also be heard on Apple Music’s Country Faith Radio talking with Lady A’s Hillary Scott. She’s currently working on her full-length debut that will be coming in 2022.
