Paravel Records and DREAM Records are thrilled to announce that pop artist Branan Murphy has reached #1 on the Billboard Hot AC/CHR chart for the first time in his career. Branan co-wrote the song with Darren Mulligan and Kyle Williams of We Are Messengers.
“I can’t even believe this is real,” exclaims Branan Murphy. “I’ve worked so hard and prayed for so long to be in God’s will when it comes to music for people. Accomplishments like this aren’t the reason I do what I do, but it means so much to me. I’m overwhelmed and grateful for everyone who believes in me and believes in this song. God is so good and faithful.”
Paravel founder Sam Fisher, who has worked with Branan for nearly a decade, saw the latest achievement as a validation of sorts. “I remember the day Branan did ‘This World Is Not My Home.’ I called him and said, ‘Mark it, this is going to be the biggest song of your career.’ I always thought it had a chance to be really successful, especially having Dream as a promotional and marketing partner. The fact that I could be a part of Branan’s first No. 1 album after everything we’ve been through makes this accomplishment all the sweeter.”
The song reached new heights with audiences and retailers for Murphy. Upon the release of “This World Is Not My Home,” it saw key features on Apple Music’s Risers, Amazon’s Fresh Christian and Christian Hits, SOZO’s Top Christian Hits, Pandora’s Today’s Christian Hits, and YouTube’s Christian-Pop Party, Christian Music on the Rise and Christian Goes Pop playlists.
Branan signed with Paravel and Dream Records in 2020 following the release of his hit album Who Am I in 2019. After signing with Paravel/Dream, Branan wrote and released the fan-favorite songs “Good” and “I Will Wait,” which also saw Top 10 hits on Billboard’s Hot AC/CHR chart.
“We feel blessed and honored to be partnering with Sam Fisher at Paravel and Branan Murphy. Branan is an incredibly talented artist who has so much to give to this incredible community,” said Lance Brown, Managing Director and Partner of DREAM Label Group. “I am incredibly grateful to the radio stations who have shown him so much support.”
So what’s next for Murphy? Well, on August 13th, Branan will release his upcoming EP, Better King, which will feature his upcoming single, the title track “Better King,” an Afrobeat remix of “This World Is Not My Home,” and more!
