Now with a GRAMMY Award, Williams' 2018 kicked off to a great start as well when his debut radio single, "Chain Breaker," officially achieved official RIAA gold certification. The single, holding at No. 1 for 15 weeks, was followed by “Old Church Choir,” which became the most successful Christian radio single in over a decade when it held the top spot at radio for 20 weeks, making it the second longest running No. 1 single in Billboard's Christian radio history. Williams also made history as the first debut artist to have two back-to-back No. 1 singles.  

Williams newest single to hit radio, "Fear Is a Liar," also just debuted his newest music video for the song, which can be viewed below.  

Williams is part of The Roadshow Tour, which kicks off on February 16 in Charlottesville, VA. For the official tour dates please visit the tour page. He will headline his own tour later spring, and more details will follow. 

ABOUT ZACH WILLIAMS: As a husband, father, singer, recording artist, songwriter and worship leader, GRAMMY® winner (Best Contemporary Christian Album, Chain Breaker) and GMA Dove Awards winner (New Artist of the Year) Zach Williams continues to make history. Achieving two consecutive radio No. 1 hits for 35 weeks as a debut artist ("Chain Breaker," "Old Church Choir") Williams' music comes from a place of humility and honesty as his songs are a direct reflection of God's redemption in his life.
