Josiah Queen on Topping Christian Albums Chart as a Gen Z Indie Artist: ‘I Think God Has Used These Songs to Reach My Age Demographic’


Independent artist Josiah Queen discusses his album 'The Prodigal' recently topping Billboard's Christian Albums chart.

Additionally, the album’s title track is in the top 10 on Billboard’ s Hot Christian Songs chart and has earned more than 45.7 million on-demand official U.S. streams, according to Luminate. But even prior to bringing the team on board, Queen says CCM radio giant K-LOVE already had reached out to him directly, saying that they would be adding his song into rotation—a tide change that led him to reconsider his stance on signing with a label. Starting in July, he will open shows for another rising young CCM hitmaker, 29-year-old “Good Day” singer Forrest Frank, alongside plans for Queen to launch another headlining tour in the fall.
