Wilson notches her third career No. 1 with “Strong”
Platinum-certified, Grammy-nominated artist and songwriter Anne Wilson has secured the No. 1 spot on Christian radio during her album Rebel‘s street week with her empowering anthem “Strong.” As it marks Wilson’s third career No. 1, the single written by Wilson, Jeff Pardo, and Matthew West has already garnered over 32 million global streams to date. Notably, Wilson becomes the only female artist to have three No. 1 singles across the Mediabase Christian AC and Mediabase Christian Audience charts since she first launched on the scene with “My Jesus” in 2021.
Rebel sees Wilson boldly stamping her love of Jesus, country music and family. Wilson was a co-writer on each of the 16 tracks.
Last week, Wilson announced her headlining Rebel Tour with special guest Jordan Rowe, kicking off on September 12th. Tickets for the 28-stop tour are available for presale now and general on-sale will begin on Friday, April 26th at 10 am local time.
Charging onto the scene three years ago with her debut single “My Jesus,” Wilson made the powerful declaration to cling firmly to her faith after finding God’s healing following the tragic loss of her brother. Now, as she remains steadfast and unwavering in her commitment to her faith-filled message.
Highlighted on the album is “Songs About Whiskey,” released with an all-new music video, that finds Wilson unashamedly walking the line of her strong faith and country roots. Collaborations with some of Christian and country music’s biggest names further elevate the collection, tapping reigning CMA Entertainer of the Year Lainey Wilson for “Praying Woman,” Grammy Award winner Chris Tomlin for “The Cross” and country superstar Jordan Davis for “Country Gold.”
Last month, Wilson landed her first CMT Music Award nomination for Breakthrough Female Video of the Year for her country radio single “Rain In The Rearview.” Despite only being three years into her career, Wilson has already amassed an impressive list of accolades, including winning a Billboard Music Award, and multiple Dove and K-Love Fan Awards, in addition to being a Grammy and American Music Award nominee. Recognized as Apple Music’s Country Riser for April, an artist to watch by Spotify, Pandora, the Grand Ole Opry, CMT and more, and over 900 million career streams, Wilson’s star continues to rise.
