An intensely pure and
impassioned refrain
expressing how God’s grace helped Marvin Sapp through one of
the most difficult times of his life has become a triumphant anthem
that has taken radio by storm. This week, after spending 32 weeks as
the #1 song at gospel radio, Marvin Sapp’s “Never
Would Have Made It” becomes the longest running #1 radio
single across all formats in the history of the BDS chart and surpasses
former record-shattering hits that have topped the Adult Contemporary,
Rock, Hot AC and Regional Mexican charts for 25 weeks or more. Gaining
a new and growing audience at urban mainstream, “Never Would
Have Made It” is currently the #10 most played and #3 most
increased airplay single on the Urban AC Chart.
“We
are immensely proud to have made radio history. This is a great moment
for Marvin Sapp and a great moment for gospel music that will stand for
years to come,” says B. Jeffrey Grant-Clark, Zomba
Gospel’s
Vice President of Promotions/Artist Relations.
Marvin Sapp says, “This has been such an amazing experience,
because we weren’t even going to put this song on the album.
The
song was birthed during a time of pain that I thought would be my
breaking point, but everyone has had a never would have made it moment
and that’s why I think the song is receiving such a
tremendous
response.”
“Never Would Have Made It” is the first single off
of
Sapp’s blockbuster CD THIRSTY, which is in its 22nd week as
#1 on
the gospel sales charts. THIRSTY was released July 3, 2007.
