EARNEST PUGH SCORES 4TH BILLBOARD NO.1 WITH “THANK YOU SO MUCH”
Chart topping gospel singer, songwriter, and author, Earnest Pugh, has scored a new feat in his illustrious career. His current radio single, “Thank You So Much,” is No. 1 on both the Billboard Gospel Airplay and the Mediabase Gospel Songs chart for the week ending March 5, 2022. For over two decades, Pugh has been known across the globe for his deep catalogue of inspiring songs that have earned him 50 million digital streams and over a dozen Billboard Gospel Airplay chart hits, including his three previous no. 1 smashes, “I Need Your Glory,” “God Wants to Heal You,” and his signature tune, “Rain on Us.”
“First of all, it’s an honor to sit in this place of honor for the 4th time in my career,” says Pugh. “Secondly, this song was my post-covid anthem after battling Covid for several weeks—literally the sentiments of my heart because I know millions didn’t make it, but I was one of those who did. This was the second #1 single from `The Outpour Experience’ album, which is a miracle because it was released in the middle of a pandemic and overlooked by man, but this is a sign to Kerry and I that God’s hand is on this body of work.”
