Nashville, TN (Dec. 12, 2025) Worship leader and singer/songwriter Seph Schlueter is closing out his most successful year yet, earning major accolades across Billboard and Mediabase while celebrating the explosive global reach of his music and a rapidly growing fan base.

Schlueter’s single “Running Back To You” made a powerful impact at radio in 2025. The track earned Billboard’s Christian AC title, while also delivering standout results across Mediabase, where Schlueter secured #5 Artist – Mediabase Christian Impressions, #3 Song – Mediabase Christian Impressions for “Running Back To You,” #5 Artist – Mediabase Christian AC, and #3 Song – Mediabase Christian AC. These benchmarks underscore the momentum of a breakout artist whose music is resonating deeply with listeners worldwide.

The momentum follows the release of Schlueter’s debut album, Counting My Blessings (Provident Entertainment), which arrived earlier this year after the unprecedented success of its title track. “Counting My Blessings” earned a Gold certification in 2025, held multiple weeks at #1 on Christian radio, and over 1 million weekly audio streams. The song became a viral hit around the globe with over 9 million creations on TikTok and Instagram combined and more than 1.2 billion views, making it potentially the most viral songs in the history of Christian music. This brings his fan creation videos to a total of over 13.6 million on TikTok and Instagram Reels and over 9.2 billion short-form video views.

Schlueter’s impact extends far beyond a single moment, with career totals now surpassing 375.5 million all-time streams, 143.8 million all-time video views, and a rapidly accelerating digital footprint across platforms. His momentum also earned him two 2025 Dove Award nominations: Song of the Year for “Counting My Blessings” and Christmas Recorded Song of the Year for “We Sing (Joy To The World)” with labelmate Leanna Crawford. The release of Counting My Blessings, an 11-track album grounded in gratitude, faith, and the transformative love of God, has further solidified Schlueter’s place as a unique and compelling voice in today’s Christian music landscape.

Beyond the studio, Schlueter reached another milestone with his first-ever headline tour in 2025, performing to packed rooms across the country. The tour featured 17 sold-out shows and sold more than 15,000 tickets, further confirming his growing impact both online and on the road.
Looking ahead, Schlueter is set for another landmark year with new music releasing throughout 2026. His next single, “Life With You,” arrives in January, accompanied by an interactive fan-driven initiative inviting listeners to submit personal videos for a chance to appear in the music video.
