Jeremy Camp is the Soloist with the Most Christian #1 Hits

Jeremy Camp has achieved a new milestone in his career. He is the soloist with the most #1 records on Billboard's Christian Airplay chart. Recently, his latest single "Out of My Hands" reached the pinnacle position, giving Camp 11 #1 hits. Camp is ahead of Chris Tomlin and Matthew West who both have 10 #1 records.

MercyMe, who has 17 #1s under their belt, is the only artist (who is not a soloist) to have more #1s. Casting Crowns ties with Camp as they have had also amassed 11 #1 records for themselves. 

Camp revealed that his latest #1 was crafted during a difficult time in his life. "This song "Out Of My Hands" came from a time where I really battled with trust and I was holding onto things too much. This song came out saying "God, I'm sorry for trying to hold things in my own hands because I'm not in control, you're in control." And when I finally let that go, the peace came."

Here are the lyrics:

Every day this never-ending pressure
Tries to take its claim over my heart
I have tried to hold it all together
But time and time again I fall apart

But that's where I find my life was never mine at all
You are the one inside always in control

So, when it feels like all of this pain is never gonna end
Brought to my knees by all of these things I don't understand, don't understand
I will let the weight of my fear fall like sand
Out of my hands and into Yours
Out of my hands and into Yours

Letting go of worries I can't measure
Holding onto truth that's healing me
Knowing I can trust You is a treasure
With eyes wide open now I finally see

It's here that I find my life was never mine at all
You're still the one inside always in control

Take this out of my hands
Take this out of my hands
Take this out of my hands
It's out of my hands

There's nothing that You can't handle
God, You are strong enough
Only You can take this out of my hands, out of my hands
You're greater than all my sorrows
Worthy of all my trust
Thank You, Lord, that this is out of my hands, out of my hands
