Chantelle Rutendo has reached a major milestone as There’s This King That I Know goes straight to No.1 on the Official UK Christian & Gospel Singles Chart.
As the first female artist to reach No.1 on the chart, this makes the moment even more significant. It is a big one, not just for Chantelle Rutendo, but for the chart itself.
What makes it even more meaningful is that this chart is driven by streams and sales. That means this No.1 reflects real support from listeners who are actively streaming the song, buying it and pushing it to the top. Thanks to AStepFWD and Official Charts, UK Christian and Gospel artists now have a recognised space where their impact can be properly measured through streams and sales.
For anyone who has followed Chantelle Rutendo’s run on the chart so far, this feels well deserved. She has remained one of the strongest names on the chart since it began, and now that consistency has led to a No.1 record.
If you have not listened to There’s This King That I Know yet, this is a good time to hear the song that has now gone all the way to the top.
It will be interesting to see what happens next, but for now, this is clearly Chantelle Rutendo’s moment.
