BILLBOARD MAGAZINE CHART-TOPPER CHARLES JENKINS PUSHES #POSITIVEAIR MUSIC MOVEMENT WITH THIRD #1 ALBUM IN A ROW “THINK ABOUT THESE THINGS”
Chart-topping recording artist Charles Jenkins has done it again. The Chicago-based
#positiveair music pusher has scored his third consecutive No. 1 Billboard Magazine
Gospel Albums sales chart debut with his third project “Think About These Things”
(Inspired People/Empire). The project also opened at No. 10 on Billboard’s Christian
& Gospel Albums sales chart and No. 28 on its Independent Albums sales chart.
The ten-track album is fueled by the fast-rising radio single “Winning” that came in
at No. 29 on the Mediabase Urban AC Airplay chart while also making noise on the
Mediabase Gospel Airplay chart where it surfaced at No. 23. The tune has soared to
No. 16 on Billboard’s Hot Gospel Songs hybrid chart that combines digital sales,
streaming and airplay statistics. Jenkins produced the project with Grammy ® Award
winning producer Warryn Campbell (Kanye West, Alicia Keys, Mary Mary). The music is
a reflection of Jenkins’ #positiveair music movement to fill the airwaves with
positive music to counter the negative sounds that often permeate urban radio in
particular.
“I wanted to lift people up with a different sound and spread some #positiveair on
the radio airwaves,” says Jenkins. “There’s so much bad news, negativity, violence
and hopelessness in the world right now that we just wanted to send out some
encouragement and remind everyone that they can win and be upbeat in this thing
called life.”
Jenkins has recorded some of the biggest gospel radio hits of the last five years
such as the No. 1 Billboard Gospel Airplay chart smashes “Awesome” (22 weeks on
top) and “War” (5 weeks on top) with Fellowship Chicago. Both songs have earned BMI
Achievement Awards and the latter was the most played song in the Radio One system
for the year of 2015. Jenkins has also created a casual apparel line of clothes to
wear while listening to the #positiveair music. For more information, visit
