2819 WORSHIP DEBUTS AT #33 BILLBOARD’S HOT CHRISTIAN SONGS CHART WITH BREAKOUT SINGLE “FOR CHRIST ALONE”

Published

on

Spread the love

Atlanta-based collective 2819 Worship makes a powerful entrance, landing at #33 Billboard’s Hot Christian Songs chart with their debut single, “For Christ Alone”, a live worship moment already resonating globally.

In its first week, the track has generated over 876K global streams, alongside more than 1,800 social creates and 240K official video views; an early indication of strong audience demand and engagement to not only the song but the truth that it declares.

“For Christ Alone” captures the depth and intensity of a live worship experience rooted in Scripture: Matthew 24:30, a sermon that founder and lead pastor Philip Anthony Mitchell spoke on for several months, that describes the Second coming of Jesus, while also drawing from Colossians 1:18, declaring Jesus Christ is the head of the body, which is the church, and the “firstborn from the dead” a title of authority and victory in resurrection, not creation. Together, these truths anchor the song’s message: Christ alone stands for us and leads the way for us, and in the end, there will be no more arguments about who was telling the truth.

“All the glory belongs to God alone,” shares the collective 2819 Worship. “We are deeply humbled by how the Spirit is moving through this sound and are truly in awe that people are being moved by a song drawn directly from Scripture. The reach of this song isn’t about the music alone, but about hearts responding to the Word of God.”

Beyond the numbers, the song is driving a wave of organic and authentic engagement across social platforms. Listeners are sharing videos of the track on repeat during workouts, long drives, and quiet moments of reflection, with some saying it’s “Summer Anthem” and “it’s on my top shelf!! In repeat rotation.” The 13-minute track is creating an experience within itself, with fans leaning into the full-length moment as a space for uninterrupted worship.

2819 Worship signed with Reach Records earlier this year. Now, with early momentum and a growing digital footprint, 2819 Worship is quickly emerging as a collective to watch within the worship space.

Grammy Award-Winning Artist DOE Releases New Worship Anthem “Know Your Name”

Grammy Award-winning singer/songwriter, DOE, drops an energetic and powerful new worship anthem, “Know Your Name,” available now on all streaming platforms. Known for seamlessly bridging R&B, gospel, and contemporary Christian music, DOE delivers a deeply personal and generational declaration of faith with her latest single.

Produced by Kyle Lee and written by DOE alongside David Spencer, Anthony S. Brown, and Dia Viola, “Know Your Name” carries the energy of a live worship moment, capturing collective praise.

“‘Know Your Name’ was inspired by the word ‘posterity’ found in Psalm 22:27–30,” shares DOE. “I have such great respect for the generations before me who taught me how to call on the name of the Lord, and for the generations coming after me who need to know His name too. He has a name for every season of life. This song is both my prayer and my declaration that every generation will know His name.”

Born Dominique Jones, DOE has emerged as one of the most compelling voices in contemporary Christian and gospel music. Her recent single “Black Boy,” featuring Jon Batiste, underscored this mission, offering a timely and affirming message that celebrates identity, dignity, and hope for young black men. This same intentionality carries into “Know Your Name,” where personal testimony meets universal truth.

Her 2025 album Heart Of A Human, which she penned in its entirety, earned the GRAMMY® Award for Best Contemporary Christian Music Album, further solidifying her place as a leading voice in the space.

With eight GRAMMY® nominations, two GMA Dove Awards, and collaborations alongside artists such as Lecrae, Maverick City Music, and Tauren Wells, DOE continues to expand her impact. Her musical roots run deep; raised in a family of artists, she began performing professionally as a teenager with the acclaimed group Forever JONES before launching her solo career in 2019.

Anike recently released new visuals for her single “Holy Girls” and it’s making waves!! In less than a month, her supporters have already pushed the single to #1 in Music and #3 overall on YouTube Hype Charts — a feature on YouTube that highlights the platform’s fastest-rising videos based on real-time engagement and momentum. It’s clear that this artist continues to not miss a beat!

Fresh off the cusp of women’s history month, we can’t overlook the fact that Anike recently had a baby and in that process successfully and consistently released new promotion, music, and even an educational course for up and coming artists during that time. She has been resourceful and consistent, always finding ways to continue her grind while not ignoring her personal needs and health to the best of her ability.

An artist of her caliber continuing to unite and inspire young women to grow closer to the Lord while also reaching their life goals – in their health, career and relationships – is not only inspiring; she has become an example of tenacity and strong faith. Much like the current picture of her life, this single is giving Proverbs 31 energy and showing young ladies everywhere the value of pursuing life with God at the center! It makes sense that this latest single “Holy Girls” is becoming more than a vibe – it’s becoming a new anthem!

Check it out below — and let’s continue to run it up!
