Karen Clark Sheard’s ‘Send It Down’ Ascends to No. 1 on Gospel Airplay Chart

Clark Sisters member Karen Clark Sheard scores her second solo No. 1, and first in a lead role, on Billboard’s Gospel Airplay chart as “Send It Down” rises two spots to the top of the list dated Jan. 4. During the Dec. 20-26 tracking week, the single increased by 1% in plays, according to Luminate.

Clark Sheard co-authored the song with Kierra Sheard, her daughter; J. Drew Sheard II, her son; and Marcus Johnson, who also produced it.

“Send It Down” is from Clark Sheard’s LP Still Karen, which arrived at its No. 9 best in September, marking her seventh top 10.

Clark Sheard boasts three additional solo Gospel Airplay top 10s: as featured on Donnie McClurkin’s “Wait on the Lord,” a No. 2 hit in August 2009; “Prayed Up” (No. 9, June 2010); and “My Words Have Power,” featuring Donald Lawrence & The Co. (No. 5, July 2015).

The Clark Sisters have rolled up three Gospel Airplay leaders: “Blessed and Highly Favored” (seven weeks, starting in June 2007), “Victory” (two, June-July 2020) and “His Love,” featuring Snoop Dogg (one week, May 2021).

Launched in their hometown of Detroit in 1980, the Clark Sisters are comprised of siblings Dorinda Clark-Cole, Jacky Clark Chisholm, Karen Clark Sheard and Twinkie Clark. (The act was first a quintet; Denise Clark Bradford left in 1986.)
