The sweetest ambassador of Gospel Music and pastor of Maryland’s The Tab Church, Jason Nelson, has landed the No. 1 gospel song in the nation – for the fourth time. The track, “Residue,” is No. 1 on Billboard’s Gospel Airplay chart for the week ending Nov. 6 with 1,116 airplay detections. The song also reached No. 1 on Mediabase’s Gospel Songs chart. “I’m so grateful to have hit No. 1 again,” Nelson said. “‘Residue’ is truly what the world needs: a fresh start. I’m so grateful to my team at Tyscot Records and FairTrade Services. Congratulations to them as well. Jerome and Danni Baylor are incredible writing partners, and I wouldn’t be in this place without them, so to God be the glory!”
“Residue” (Jaelyn Song Music/Tyscot/FairTrade) is an upbeat departure from Nelson’s previous No. 1 ballad hits like “Forever” and “Great I Am” that have earned him over 100 million digital streams over the past decade. While the message is spiritual; the production is adult contemporary R&B courtesy of the Baylors who have collaborated with urban hitmakers like Fantasia. The warm track showcases Nelson’s polished bass playing and measured tenor with a soul that’s on par with Charlie Wilson or Luther Vandross.
“Residue was inspired by the idea that being in close proximity to God has a cleansing effect on a person,” Nelson explains. “The song gives a glimpse into how God purifies us when we come to Him. He never expects us to be perfect to engage with Him. He takes us as we are and washes away the residue of the past as we walk with Him.”
“Residue” is the first radio single from Nelson’s first album in three years and first studio project ever — “Close” (Jaelyn Song/Tyscot/FairTrade) — which was released digitally last August. The physical CD configuration will arrive in brick-and-mortar stores and online dropshippers on November 5. The uplifting twelve-song set features guest appearances from R&B star Chrisette Michele, bassist John Patitucci and worship leader Osby Berry.https://smarturl.it/JNCclose
