Jovonta Patton is #1 with "Always"

Minneapolis northside native Jovonta Patton is #1 this week on Billboard's Gospel Airplay chart with "Always." The song rises from #3 to the top position on its 29th week on the chart. "Always" is Patton's 6th #1 on Billboard as an indie artist.

"Always" is featured on Patton's fourth album, Established, which has caught the attention of giants in the gospel music industry.  Now, the album's most-heard single was selected to be heard by all on gospel music's biggest stage, the Stellar Awards.

"He says, 'Hey, you know you got chose to sing at the Stellar Pre-Show.' I said, 'What? I didn't know that.' And he said, 'Well yeah, I'll be sending over the email and everything in a couple of hours, and so congratulations!' And it was just like, wait, huh?" Patton said.

He says this opportunity was one he prayed for while attending the Stellar Awards in 2015. "I sat on the side, I said, 'I'm going to be on that stage,' and I just spoke it. I just believed God for it," he said. "And so to be in the manifestation, to be going next week it is wild."
