Indie label Inpop Records claims 3 of the Top 10 spots on Radio & Records Christian Hit Radio chart this week with songs from Superchick, Jimmy Needham and newsboys.
Superchick tops the chart with “Stand In The Rain,” its third consecutive No. 1 hit from 2005’s breakthrough project Beauty From Pain, while debut artist Jimmy Needham’s first radio single, “Lost At Sea,” is one slot behind at No. 2. Newsboys rounds out the three with its debut single from forthcoming album GO, “Wherever We Go,” at No. 7. (Read Suite Newsboys "GO" interview here)
Radio promoter Donna Del Sesto of IHS Promotions comments, “The road to success is one well-traveled and INPOP is traveling that road in style these days, with the No. 1, No. 2, and No. 7 Billboard/R&R CHR radio singles.”
TOP5PROMOTIONS’ Michael Johnson, Needham’s champion at CHR radio, says “Honestly, Jimmy Needham doesn’t sound like everything else that’s working at Christian radio today. And that’s why I think he’s working.” (Read Suite review here).
“Radio has been very kind to Inpop,” says Dale Bray, Inpop Records president. “Tree63 had a No. 1 single just a few weeks ago, and now we have the No. 1 AND No. 2 CHR songs in the country with Superchick and Jimmy. It’s an amazing effort for an indie label. It speaks highly of the quality of these artists and the partnership they have with radio.”
