GOSPEL RADIO CARDS KARIMA RULES
‘REDEEMER’ ENTERING NUMBER 1 ON MULTIPLE CHARTS
Karima
#1 BILLBOARD GOSPEL AIRPLAY. #1 MEDIABASE GOSPEL AIRPLAY, BILLBOARD’S BIGGEST GOSPEL AIRPLAY GAINER
January 11, 2022 (West Palm Beach, FL) – Acclaimed singer KARIMA is soaring to the top of the charts, claiming the No. 1 spot on multiple Gospel radio charts. The beautiful, cult ballad “Redeemer” is KARIMA’s debut album on DARE Records and its impressive rise is a testament to the power of the song and KARIMA’s exceptional performance.
KARIMA’s first-ever No. 1 song, “Redeemer,” is No. 1 on the Gospel Airplay chart, is the chart’s biggest gainer, and is No. 1 on the Mediabase Gospel chart.
“Just when you think it’s over, it’s literally just the beginning. After being in the music industry for 25 years, I was hoping and maybe even dreaming of being in this position,” said KARIMA. “While I was contemplating leaving music, God was waiting for me to recognize His ultimate plan for this season of my life… the plan was to just believe in myself and KEEP GOING, no matter what it looked like to others or felt like to myself.”
She continued, “I have learned in this process that His ‘no’ is even good. His ‘no’ doesn’t always mean things won’t happen permanently. His ‘no’ in my situation simply meant not now. Patience and persistence have been key. He is a promise keeper and restorer of all good things. Wow my God.”

The rare feat adds to DARE Records’ latest run of success, marking the label’s third consecutive Billboard No. 1 song. Juan and Lisa Winans; Shontelle Norman-Beatty’s “It Belongs To Me” and “Jesus Will Fix It (Trouble In My Way)” both hit No. 1 last year.
Michael-Anthony “Mooki” Taylor, CEO and President of DARE Records, said: “So many wonderful pieces in this exciting story!” “Tara Griggs-Magee (President of Dare Records) signed Karima and her sisters to Virtue to Verity Records over 20 years ago. While I did a remix on ‘He’s Been Good’ in 2002. I also wrote and recorded with Nicole C. Mullen for Carman in 1994.”
Taylor went on to explain the full circle moment
“I signed Karima to DARE Records in 2020 the same week Juan and Lisa Winans’ ‘It Belongs To Me’ (featuring Marvin L. Winans) went to #1 and we released the remake of ‘Redeemer’ in 2021. Shontelle Norman-Beatty went to #1 in September 2021. And HERE WE ARE. THREE SHOTS! Like the Bulls in the 90s!”
Best known for her musical success as the co-founder and member of the hit gospel/Christian trio Virtue, KARIMA signed with DARE Records in 2021. While finding success on the music front, KARIMA is elevating her brand and business ventures. In addition to launching THE SOUP CHIC, an online delivery service for homemade soup, KARIMA plans to launch a women’s athleisure brand called The KARIMA Brand. The fashion line will feature pieces for the active woman to transition from the yoga studio to the recording studio.
