Tyscot Records – the nation’s oldest operating African-American owned gospel recording label – and its affiliated artists have placed seven songs on the Billboard Gospel Airplay chart for the week ending June 12, 2021. The highest entry on the survey belongs to the smooth-voiced VaShawn Mitchell who steps up from No. 10 last week to No. 9 this week with the festive track, “Lifted Up” (V Man/ FairTrade/ Tyscot).
Jason Nelson, known for his crooning ballads “Shifting the Atmosphere” and the No. 1 smash “Forever,” shows he’s got a flair for mid-tempo songs too. The R&B flavored Steppers’ groove, “Residue” (Jaelyn Song / FairTrade / Tyscot), from 23 on last week’s chart to No. 21 this week thanks to an extra 144 MRC (formerly Nielsen BDS) airplay detections.
The second radio single from R&B star and Maroon 5 keyboardist, PJ Morton’s Gospel According to PJ” album, is making noise too. Morton wrote and produced the track, “Repay You” (Morton Inspiration/ Tyscot), that features silky smooth leads from veteran gospel artist, J. Moss. It’s at No. 22 this week.
