Phil Wickham Dominates Christian Radio, Spending 30 of Last 40 Weeks at No. 1 on Mediabase Chart

Worship leader Phil Wickham continues to make an undeniable impact on Christian music, securing a remarkable milestone on the Mediabase Christian Audience chart.

Over the past 40 weeks, Wickham has held the No. 1 position for an impressive 30 weeks-an achievement that underscores both his consistency and widespread appeal. Since July 20 of last year, there have been only 10 weeks where his music has not topped the chart, highlighting a sustained connection with listeners and strong support from Christian radio nationwide.

Known for crafting songs that resonate deeply in both personal and congregational worship settings, Wickham's chart dominance reflects a broader movement within contemporary Christian music-where faith-driven lyrics and accessible melodies continue to reach audiences at scale.

Building on this momentum, Wickham has also announced that all dates for his highly anticipated "Song of the Saints" Tour are officially on sale, marking one of his most extensive touring efforts to date.

Expressing both excitement and anticipation, Wickham shared that the tour will take him to 40 cities across the United States, describing the upcoming nights as moments he and his team have been "praying and preparing for." The tour is positioned not just as a concert series, but as a shared worship experience, with expectations for meaningful spiritual impact.

The tour will feature special guests including Tauren Wells during the spring leg, adding further draw to an already strong lineup.

The Spring 2026 leg includes stops across key cities such as Birmingham, Knoxville, Columbus, Baltimore, Jacksonville, Charlotte, Minneapolis, and St. Louis, with multiple dates already sold out or selling quickly-signaling strong demand from fans. Notably, cities like Baltimore, Estero, Grand Rapids, and Colorado Springs have already reached full capacity.

The Fall 2026 leg continues the momentum, with scheduled performances in major markets including Fairfax, Pittsburgh, Chicago, Houston, Dallas, Atlanta, Orlando, Anaheim, Las Vegas, and Phoenix.

With no presale code required and all tickets now publicly available, the tour reflects both accessibility and enthusiasm surrounding Wickham's current season in music.

As he balances chart-topping success with a nationwide tour, Wickham's current run highlights a rare combination of commercial consistency and ministry-driven purpose-cementing his place as one of the most influential voices in contemporary worship today.
