Plus, Bethel Music notches its 15th top 10 on Top Christian Albums.
Veteran singer-songwriter and pastor Deitrick Haddon achieves his second No. 1 on Billboard‘s Gospel Airplay chart, as “Open Door Season” hops 4-1 on the list dated June 13.
In the tracking week ending June 7, “Season” increased by 5% in plays, according to Nielsen Music/MRC Data.
The song, which Haddon solely wrote, is the second Gospel Airplay No. 1 among 17 entries and 10 top 10s for the Detroit native, who is the lead pastor at Los Angeles’ Hill City Church. His first leader, “A Billion People,” ruled for a week in September 2017. He first reached Billboard‘s charts in 1998.
“I am very excited about ‘Open Door Season’ being No. 1,” Haddon says. Referencing the COVID-19 pandemic, he muses, “People need to know that doors are still open for them, even though we have been sheltering inside. It’s not over, and God is still working.
“It’s been 20-plus years and this is my second No. 1. If I never get another one, I’m just grateful that God is still using me. All over the world, people tell me how much my songs have helped them. That’s all that I can ask for. I thank all of them, everywhere, for the support and love.”
