5x-stellar award nominee, Kim Person, scores #1 single on billboard gospel indicator
Raleigh, NC (Sunday, July 10, 2022) - 5x-Stellar Award nominee and powerhouse vocalist, Kim Person, keeps meriting staggering achievements and favor since the release of her current musical offering, “Journey 2.0" last October. Her high-energy, up-tempo lead radio single, “Wonderful", scored the #1 position on the Billboard Gospel Indicator Airplay Chart two (2) weeks ago and has remained there for back-to-back weeks (Issue Dates 7/2/2022 and 7/9/2022). “Wonderful”, produced by Phillip Bryant (Tamela Mann, Maranda Curtis, JJ Hairston) and released on Kim’s indie label (KLP Music Enterprise), is her highest career appearance on that chart to date.
In addition to this wonderfully historic moment, “Wonderful” (the sizzling “Gospel Funk"-flavored track), has also landed in the Top 30 on Mediabase Airplay and the Top 50 on Billboard National Airplay. Kim is also overwhelmingly excited about being nominated for three (3) Stellar Awards this year in the following categories: Albertina Walker Female Vocalist of the Year, Traditional Female Vocalist of the Year, and Traditional Album of the Year. To top off an already landmark season for Kim, she’ll be performing “Wonderful" during the Pre-Show at the 37thAnnual Stellar Gospel Music Awards held in Atlanta, GA, July 15-16, 2022.
A native of Lumberton, NC and currently based in Raleigh, NC, Kim Person’s “Journey 2.0” EP is the follow-up to the 2019 “The Journey" album, which peaked at #2 on the Billboard Top Gospel Albums chart and #25 on the Billboard Heatseekers chart. “Journey 2.0” EP spent six (6) weeks in the Top 10 of the Billboard Top Gospel Albums chart. Kim also earned her inaugural Stellar Award nominations for New Artist of the Year and Contemporary Female Vocalist of the Year in 2020.
