AFP by the use of Getty photographswhereas he hasn't been busy promoting his most fresh full-lengths for months, that hasn't stopped Kanye West from ruling over the gospel charts ever considering the fact that he entered that container with his first initiatives devoted in particular to speakme about his religion.
The hip-hop musician's single "observe God" is constant at No. 1 on Billboard's hot Gospel Songs once once again, a position it has managed for an amazing length of time. The tune has now sat atop the most vital gospel list for 26 consecutive turns, or exactly half a year. West scored a enormous win on his first try, and the cut now ranks among the most a hit tracks to appear on the record.
Amazingly, "follow God" is not the best West single still going amazing six months after unencumber. basically, the rapper, who can also or can also now not continue to work within the Christian/gospel world after releasing two full-lengths very near one a different within the 2d half of 2019, at present lays claim to seven of the 25 spots on the sizzling Gospel Songs chart.
helping him manage that a great deal real property so long after his album dropped is healthy pastime on streaming systems like Spotify and Apple song. On Billboard's Gospel Streaming Songs chart, West's dominance is much more extraordinary, as his tune fills seven of the 15 rungs. Proving that streaming is doing lots of the work assisting him rule over the scorching Gospel Songs listing (which combines earnings, streams and radio play to rank music per week), West's name doesn't appear anywhere on either the Gospel Digital track sales or Gospel Airplay charts.
"follow God" is by means of a long way essentially the most widespread tune from West's 2019 album Jesus Is King, which itself has long past on to turn into probably the most a success gospel albums in recent memory. The set, which turned into released (as opposed to several singles being spun off before the total-size became made available), has now dominated the proper Gospel Albums chart for 25 weeks, only stepping down this body to allow Kierra Sheard's semi-self-titled Kierra to debut in first place. the brand new ruler is the primary mission to take a seat on the throne considering the fact that West's album arrived.
West might not were a mainstay in the gospel world before he jumped in headfirst remaining fall, and he can also now not even be a favourite amongst longtime listeners now, however he has a huge adequate fan base that some of his followers, those that cherished him for the rap music he made, are likely still urgent play on Jesus Is King to today, preserving him in handle months after that title arrived.
