Sitting at No.1 on the Official UK Christian & Gospel Singles Chart this week is ‘THIS GOD’ by MIN.ADEOLUWA, one of the songs from his “Testimony” EP.
The journey of ‘THIS GOD’ on the chart has been a very interesting one. The song first appeared on the chart in the second week, entering at No.18. After that, it left the chart for a while before returning five weeks later, this time coming back stronger and entering the Top 5.
Even while THIS GOD was away from the chart, MIN.ADEOLUWA still had other songs appearing on the chart, keeping his name in the mix before THIS GOD made its return. Since coming back at No.5, the song has moved between No.5 and No.15, before climbing to No.2 and staying there for two weeks.
Now, THIS GOD has finally moved from No.7 to No.1, becoming the current Number 1 song on the Official UK Christian & Gospel Singles Chart.
‘THIS GOD’ is a song of testimony. It carries the sound of someone who has seen God come through and cannot keep quiet about it. The energy, the repetition and the declaration in the song all point to one thing: gratitude.
It is not just a song to dance to. It is a song that came from a real place. It carries wonder, thanksgiving and the kind of joy that comes when God answers prayer in a way that leaves you amazed.
Sharing about the milestone on Instagram, MIN.ADEOLUWA opened up about the story behind the song. He shared that when he was writing “TESTIMONY”, the EP where THIS GOD came from, there was no plan or expectation that any of the songs would enter a chart, talk less of reaching No.1.
According to him, the song came during a moment of answered prayer. He was still in shock over what God had done and was speaking with his wife when the words began to come naturally. From that simple moment of gratitude, THIS GOD was born.
That is what makes this No.1 feel even more special. It is not just about a chart position. It is a testimony that started from a private moment and has now found its way to more people.
From entering at No.18, leaving the chart, returning into the Top 5, moving around the chart and now reaching No.1, the journey of THIS GOD speaks for itself.
Listen to ‘THIS GOD‘ by MIN.ADEOLUWA, the current Number 1 song on the Official UK Christian & Gospel Singles Chart.
