Gospel’s Leading Man Earnest Pugh
Climbs The Urban Adult Contemporary Radio Chart With
“I NEED YOUR GLORY”
Gospel music’s leading man, Earnest Pugh, is continuing to make big strides in his career. His recent #1 Billboard gospel radio smash “I Need Your Glory” has now crossed over to the urban adult contemporary radio charts. This week the song moves up to #23 on the Mediabase Urban AC chart and #30 on Billboard’s Adult R&B Airplay chart. “It’s an honor to be embraced by Urban AC radio,” Pugh says humbly. “This milestone in my career solidifies my belief that in bad times people gravitate to The Good News and good ole hard work pays off!”
The charismatic Pugh also thrilled the sold-out Stellar Award audience at the Grand Ole Opry to a riveting medley of his #1 hits “I Need Your Glory” and “Rain On Us.” Legendary choir leader, Ricky Dillard, was in the audience and says, “Earnest was just awesome. His performance was a highlight of the night.” The Stellar Awards will air on the GMC Cable Channel February 11, 2012 @ 7:00, 9:00 and 11:00 p.m. EST.
A Memphis native who was mentored by Grammy Award winning choir leader O’Landa Draper back in the 1990s, Pugh released his first solo CD in 2006 and showed off his five-octave vocals on the radio hit “Wrapped Up, Tied Up, Tangled Up.” After years of making respectable forays into gospel, Pugh finally hit it big in 2009 with his #1 smash “Rain On Us.” He followed-up with other radio chart smashes such as “The Great I Am” and “Perfect Peace” before hitting #1 again with “I Need Your Glory.” Visit www.earnestpugh.com for more information on this exciting artist.
