James Grear Hits Top Spot at Radio

 In 2023, James Grear & Company topped the Billboard and Mediabase charts at #1 with their smash hit “I Wanna Say Thank You,” featuring Maurette Brown Clark.  They have become one of Gospel music’s most notable and authentically dynamic choirs, delivering sacred choruses of hope built on a foundation of The Word and authentic faith.  Their latest single is an uplifting anthem of worship that has swept the country and taken Grear and his singers to the top of the charts.

“Do It Again,” James Grear & Company’s uplifting anthem of worship, has topped the Mediabase and Billboard Gospel Airplay Chart, soaring to #1. Grear’s single is a beautiful musical moment that surrounds listeners with sweet melodies that flow into a plateau of worship in the presence of the Most High.

“I am overwhelmed with gratitude and truly humbled that my single has reached #1 on both the Billboard and MediaBase charts,” Grear states.  “It wouldn’t be possible without the unwavering vision and support of Kerry Douglas and the entire BlackSmoke Music family, whose belief in this record helped carry it to the world.”

“Do It Again” features the passionately powerful vocals of Stellar and GRAMMY® Award-winning artist Darrel Walls. “Darrel Walls’ anointing and artistry elevated the message of my single beyond measure,” Grear adds.  Darrel, of the famed The Walls Group, recently won a GRAMMY® for Best Gospel Album for HEART OF MINE, his collaborative project with PJ Morton,  

“James Grear’s Do It Again rises like a declaration of faith—an anthem of praise and worship that reaches straight into the soul,” says Sheilah Belle “The Belle” of The Belle Report/Praise 104.7FM.  “With vocals that pour out conviction and lyrics that echo hope, the song reminds listeners that the God who moved before will move again. It’s the kind of worship experience that doesn’t just fill a room; it transforms it.”

“Do It Again” is written and produced by Darnell Davis.  Over the last year, “Do It Again” spent an unprecedented 50 weeks on the charts and landed at #38 on the 2025 Mediabase Top Gospel Airplay Year-end Chart.   The single is a precursor to Grear’s forthcoming album, to be released this year by Blacksmoke Music Worldwide. 

Grear expresses, “I give a special appreciation to The Company for their excellence and commitment, and to writer and producer Darnell Davis for creating a sound and spirit that resonates so powerfully.  My sincere thanks to radio promoters Ronedy Moore and Ricky Davis, and every radio program director and announcer who gave this song a platform. Most importantly, thank you to everyone who requested, downloaded, streamed, and supported Do It Again — your love and connection to this song made this #1 possible. I give God all the glory for allowing this message of hope and restoration to reach so many hearts.”
