Charles Jenkins Hits Two Top 20 Charts With "Grace"

Consistent Billboard Magazine chart-topper, Charles Jenkins, has another hot one on his hands. The Chicago-based artist's latest finger-snapper, "Grace," boasts an old school Motown sample, the sonorous singing of Fellowship Chicago and a dynamic vocal assist from Le'Andria Johnson.
Last week, the inspiring, mid-tempo track debuted in the Top 20 on both the Billboard Magazine Gospel Airplay (No. 19) and the Mediabase Gospel Airplay (No. 18) charts. The song anchors Charles Jenkins & Fellowship Chicago's highly anticipated and, as yet, untitled third album which is expected to release in either the 4th quarter of 2017 or the first quarter of 2018. The song hits iTunes and all major digital service providers on July 7th.
The success of "Grace" comes on the heels of Charles Jenkins opening Bishop T.D. Jakes' bi-annual MegaFest conference with a rousing performance of the song last week in Dallas, TX where he taught it to an ecstatic audience of thousands. A few days before, Jenkins headlined WLOU 104.7 FM and 1350 AM's annual SummerFest concert in Louisville, KY. "He just shut the park down," says WLOU Program Director, Brodric Purvis. "It was his first time performing in this market and he really gave Louisville a great concert that they will never forget."
In another career first, prior to jumping on a plane to head to the aforementioned event in Kentucky, Jenkins commanded the stage at Mamby on the Beach in Chicago. The electronic dance music festival drew 30,000 dance music fans to the city's lakefront and featured EDM superstars such as MGMT, Flying Lotus, Misterwives and Sir the Baptist. Jenkins and his music crew opened the Saturday festivities with an energetic, rousing noon-day program of his urban-flavored tracks such as "Winning," "Reach for the Sky" and a club rendition of his signature song, "Awesome," which spent 24 weeks at No. 1 on Billboard's Gospel Airplay chart in 2012. The spectacular set has already earned Jenkins an invitation to perform at next year's event.
