Anthony Brown & group therAPy Release “Up Up Up” With Zach Savage
For the last two years…I’ve been praying about what to say while also going through one of the toughest periods in my life. I didn’t tell a lot of people. My battles with depression and feeling ostracized and alone were getting the best of me. I kept looking to be rescued..looking for the normal people and places and things that would step in and make it better but..it never happened. They never came. This time was different. That’s when it happened…
1st Samuel 30:6.. “and David encouraged HIMSELF in the Lord”.
What do you do when no one comes to encourage you? You encourage yourself. You speak over yourself. You AFFIRM yourself. You go to the word of God and remind yourself what GOD has said about you. That’s the truth.
I am excited to share with you that on NOVEMBER 3rd, group therAPy are releasing a sound that you need to hear.

Citizens’ music brings people together around vulnerability and acceptance, and their new acoustic single, ‘Everything and More,’ is an invitation into the journey of faith the band candidly explores through songs. This version is close to the song’s conception as it came from a simple moment at the piano. This song is the tip of the iceberg of Citizens’ journey of unlearning and reimagining the scope in which we view God.
They inspire us to reconsider our perception of the Divine and find joy in the impossible and the mystery. “everything and more (acoustic)” turns our gaze to the beauty of the life found in God, one where millions of tiny miracles happen every day; where hope can be found in the heartache, too.
“For me, this song is about my own deeper discovery of God, but I want the listener to hear it through their own perspective,” Zach concludes.
South Africa-based Nigeria multi-instrumentalist, songwriter, and anointed singer, Minister Gratitude drops an amazing song of praise titled GRATITUDE, this is a song from a grateful heart that will get you dancing.
Chris Tomlin, the “most often sung artist in the world” according to Time Magazine, celebrated with industry, family, and friends today a monumental benchmark as his recent six- week #1 single “Holy Forever,” marks the historic achievement of holding the #1 position on a radio chart for OVER 3 YEARS, totaling in 157+ weeks. Tonight’s celebration of the highly regarded worship leader, songwriter and artist took an unexpected turn as Tomlin himself presented a plaque to Capitol Christian Music Group for the unprecedented accomplishment.
“I have had the great honor of receiving many awards and accolades, commemorating different achievements throughout my career… but today is different,” shared Tomlin. “As we sit here celebrating this remarkable milestone it is not lost on me that to have this kind of longevity and impact is directly attributed to a long term partnership with the same record label, Capitol Christian Music Group. So while today was intended to celebrate 21 #1 songs … I wanted to take the moment and put the spotlight on this 20+ year partnership with Capitol, the entire team, and each person who has made all this possible.”

Prior to “Holy Forever,” written by Chris, Jenn Johnson and Brian Johnson of Bethel Music, Phil Wickham and Jason Ingram, hitting the radio charts, there was an undeniable movement as worship leaders across the country discovered the song and began adding it to their church services. That attention, and the remarkable run at radio, has triggered a global response to the song. Off the continued success, Chris partnered with Miel San Marcos to release a Spanish version of the song out now and this Friday, a Portuguese adaption will be available as Chris teams up with Gabriel Guedes de Almeida.
Chris recently shared about his most recent #1 with Billboard “I really don’t know what to say right now… I remember over 20 years ago being told that radio wouldn’t play worship music. So, to fast forward to today and not only have another number one radio song but to have the ongoing opportunity to help give people a voice to worship God through radio, through streaming, through live events, and through songs being led in the church… is something I will never take for granted. I could never have imagined the doors and opportunities God would open up and I am so excited, and expectant for what’s to come next. Thank you radio for all you have done and all you continue to do…”
During tonight’s celebration the Grammy-winner was presented with four new RIAA certifications: “Amazing Grace” (My Chains Are Gone) -double Platinum, “I Will Follow” -Platinum, “I Will Rise” -Platinum and Gold for “Thank You Lord (featuring Florida Georgia Line and Thomas Rhett).”

“Truly, I’m just so excited and completely overwhelmed with gratitude,” shares Riley. ““Fighting For Me” was written from such a deeply personal place, so watching it resonate with so many people has been surreal. My entire team surprised me with the Gold Record plaque, and I cried like a baby. It was such a special moment. I’m so grateful for every single person on the team that worked to make this milestone possible.”
