NASHVILLE, TENN. (AUGUST 05, 2025) - Artists from Fair Trade Services made CCM radio history this week, becoming the first trio of labelmates to occupy the #1, #2, and #3 positions at the same time on the Mediabase Christian AC radio chart.
For the week of August 3rd, “What An Awesome God” by Phil Wickham secured the No. 1 position, with “Oh Death” by MercyMe at No. 2, and “God Did It” by Micah Tyler in the No.3 position.
Wickham also holds the #1 spot on both the Mediabase Christian Impressions chart and the Billboard Christian AC chart.

Tyler, who has garnered seven number-one singles, rose to the #3 position on this week’s chart.
