The King is Still The King tops Billboard’s Christian/Gospel Albums chart
Grammy Award-winning artist Chris Tomlin had a record-breaking week with the release of his 18th album, The King Is Still The King, with the largest global streaming week of his career, ending October 2nd. The album is Billboard’s No. 1 Top Christian/Gospel Album this week.
“Never would I have dreamed after so many albums released that this would be my biggest streaming week yet,” Tomlin says. “This is incredibly special to me. All I’ve ever wanted to do is help give people a voice to worship God. It’s why I write songs and why I always pray that they connect with people and help them in their relationship with God.”
“What I love the most in this moment is that the title of the new album is The King is Still the King. Worship reminds us of the greater story. It lifts our eyes off ourselves and our circumstances, and it reminds us that our hope is in an everlasting kingdom and everlasting King… and that ‘The King is Still the King.’
“Also, there are no lone rangers here,” Chris adds. “Music is a team sport. I am blessed to have an amazing team that puts their heart and soul into this music like I do. Thank you and congratulations to each of you!”
The 30-time GMA Dove Award winner continues to grow his fanbase, release songs with global impact, have No. 1 singles, and sell out tours and venues like Bridgestone Arena, Dickies Arena, Honda Center, Red Rocks, and more. He is on his fall headlining tour, An Evening of Worship with Chris Tomlin.
This year alone, Tomlin continues to break new ground and find new ways to further his mission to help give people a voice to worship God. In July, he launched the Worship Under the Stars concert series at New York City’s Central Park, served as executive producer for the movie The Last Supper, wrote music for Amazon Prime’s top-rated show House of David, and was featured in The First Hymn documentary.
Additionally, he sold out Bridgestone Arena for his Good Friday Nashville, which aired nationwide on the K-Love network. His current single “How Good It Is” is his largest single debut since 2020, and his upcoming Christmas tour sold over 50 percent at the on-sale. Earlier this year, he participated in the first-ever Easter Spotify Single alongside Brandon Lake and Jelly Roll.
His 21st No. 1 single “Holy Forever” was recently certified platinum–it has become a massive global hit and is sung in churches all over the world. “Holy Forever” was released in 2022.
