NASHVILLE, TENN. (FEBRUARY 21, 2019) - Gotee Records and First Company Management recently celebrated Ryan Stevenson's No. 1 Billboard AC single "No Matter What." This single hit No. 1 on Billboard’s Christian AC Indicator chart for three consecutive weeks and according to Billboard is still in Christian radio’s overall Top 20 recurrent songs. It is his third consecutive Top 5 Billboard Christian Airplay and Christian AC radio single in the last three years.
The song was written by Ryan Stevenson, producer Bryan Fowler and Jonathan Smith. The song is also the title track to Ryan’s 2018 album, which features Bart Millard of MercyMe plus the hit single “The Gospel” and “Faithful” featuring Amy Grant.
“When people finish listening to 'No Matter What' and the album as a whole, more than anything, I hope they’ll walk away knowing that, no matter what they think about themselves—the shame, regret, guilt of their pasts—Jesus still sees them through the lens of redemption and grace,” shares Ryan Stevenson about the No. 1 single and 2018 album.
The latest single, “With Lifted Hands,” is currently at radio and in just two weeks is already in the Top 30 on Billboard’s Christian Airplay chart. It is currently playing on SiriusXM’s The Message, the WayFM network and featured in Spotify’s Top Christian Contemporary playlist.
Fans can catch Stevenson right now on the popular 2019 TobyMac Hits Deep tour that has been selling-out many of the dates in just the first three weeks of the tour. For the remaining dates, click here.
