Centricity Music Has Another Banner Year
The No. 1 Billboard Top Christian Albums Imprint for three consecutive years, Centricity Music reflects on a banner year that saw six full-length albums released, hit radio singles and its artist roster receiving numerous awards and accolades, amidst other successes. The label and its dedicated staff continue to build upon a growing legacy of songs that are impacting music listeners globally.
Leading the way, two-time GRAMMY Award winner Lauren Daigle earned a RIAA 2X Platinum certification for her 2018, record breaking album, Look Up Child, along with a Platinum award for the album’s “Still Rolling Stones.” She also received an RIAA Gold certification for “Thank God I Do,” which is the lead single from her 2023 self-titled album.
A multiple Billboard Music Awards (BBMAs) recipient, Daigle was additionally named a finalist for this year’s Top Christian Artist, while first-time BBMAs finalist, Platinum-selling, Dove Award-winning Katy Nichole received a nod for Top Christian Album for her debut LP, Jesus Changed My Life.
Acclaimed albums Centricity Music released last year include Everything Good from RIAA Platinum-selling, Dove Award-winning pop recording artist and songwriter Jordan Feliz; The Ache from five-time GRAMMY®-nominated, eight-time GMA Dove Award recipient and Platinum-selling singer / songwriter Brandon Heath; This Is Holy from multi-Platinum songwriter and worship leader Mack Brock; IV from RIAA Certified Gold-selling Unspoken; Hello Human from cinematic, alternative-pop duo Apollo LTD; and Manna from dynamic, singer/songwriter Chris Renzema, which also received the GMA Dove Award for Rock/Contemporary Album of the Year.
Along with the albums, Centricity Music released several notable radio singles, including “When I Fall,” the first single from Platinum-selling, Dove Award-winning Nichole’s sophomore album (title and release date TBA). Clips of this song have been viewed more than 200 million times on TikTok alone and shared by over 100 thousand other creators on the social platform.
Other significant singles include the Mediabase Christian Audience Chart No. 1 hit “Lead On Good Shepherd” from singer, songwriter and worship leader Patrick Mayberry and featured on his first full-length album, Wild Faith; “What He Says About You” from Unspoken’s IV; and “Fragile” by soul-inspired pop singer/songwriter, worship leader, accomplished pianist and producer Natalie Layne that is a favorite on her acclaimed Centricity Music debut EP, Amen.
