Chris Tomlin Celebrates 21st Christian Radio No. 1

Chris Tomlin is celebrating his 21st No. 1 at Christian radio with Grammy-nominated song “Holy Forever.”

The song was co-written with Jenn Johnson and Brian Johnson of Bethel Music, Phil Wickham and Jason Ingram. It tops both Billboard‘s Christian Airplay and AC charts as well as both MediaBase’s Christian AC and Christian Audience charts this week.

“I really don’t know what to say right now… I remember over 20 years ago being told that radio wouldn’t play worship music. So, to fast forward to today and not only have another number one radio song but to have the ongoing opportunity to help give people a voice to worship God through radio, through streaming, through live events, and through songs being led in the church… is something I will never take for granted,” Tomlin shares. “I could never have imagined the doors and opportunities God would open up and I am so excited, and expectant for what’s to come next. Thank you radio for all you have done and all you continue to do…”

Tomlin recently launched ticket sales for his 12-city “An Evening of Worship” scheduled for this fall, with concerts already sold out in San Diego and Sacramento.
