GRAMMY® Award-winning songwriter and Inspired People recording artist Pastor Charles Jenkins is continuing to declare war on Billboard Magazine’s various airplay, streaming and sales charts. His latest radio smash “War” moves from #3 to #2 on this week’s Gospel Airplay chart for the infectious song’s 37th week in the Top 30. The rousing New Orleans Brass Band-flavored track has consistently rested in the Top Ten on Billboard Gospel Streaming Songs, Hot Gospel Songs and Gospel Digital Sales charts.
It’s not only winning over the general public but it’s also winning over television producers. Jenkins and his ensemble have been slated to perform the song on BET’s eighth season of the “Sunday Best” singing competition and also on the 35th and final season of the network’s “Bobby Jones Gospel” program.
An established Grammy® Award-winning songwriter and pastor of the 8,000-member Fellowship Chicago church, Pastor Jenkins burst into the national spotlight when he and the Fellowship Chicago choir’s radio debut “Awesome” topped Billboard Magazine’s Hot Gospel Songs chart for 22 weeks in 2012. It won a BMI Award in 2014 for over 50,000-lifetime radio spins.
The album “Best of Both Worlds” debuted at #1 on Billboard’s Gospel Album sales chart, garnered 5 Stellar Awards, multiple Dove Award nominations, appearance at Jay Z’s “Made In America” festival and more. Please visit www.charlesjenkins.com for more news and information.
