Brent Jones hits #1 on Billboard again! 

4th consecutive Billboard #1

“Praise In The Choir Stand” tops 5 major charts!!

Hailed as the “Hardest Working Man in Gospel,” Grammy and Stellar Award–winning artist Brent Jones is celebrating a major milestone as his powerful ode to choir music, “Praise In The Choir Stand,” hits #1 on Billboard and Mediabase today.
The chart-topping single now leads five different charts, marking Brent’s fourth consecutive Billboard #1. Adding to an already historic year, Jones was also named to Billboard’s Year-End “Top Ten Gospel Songwriters” Chart, while his vinyl release earned recognition as one of the “Top-Selling Gospel Vinyl Albums” of 2025.
“When I wrote ‘Praise In The Choir Stand,’ I had no idea it would become a choir anthem sung in churches all over the world,” says Jones. “I simply wanted to pay homage to Black gospel choir music—the heartbeat of the Black church—and a unique art form God gave us. It’s music that carried us through slavery, Jim Crow, and the civil rights movement, and it still sustains us today.”
“To go #1 on Billboard and reach the top of five different charts is just icing on the cake,” he continues. “To God be the glory for the awesome things He has done. As I reflect on an incredible 2025—from another Stellar Award win, my 100+ city Praise In The Choir Stand Tour, a third consecutive Dove Award nomination, a surprise vinyl album release, and now a Billboard #1—all the glory and praise belongs to God.”
