28x Stellar Award winner and GRAMMY®-nominated triple-threat Pastor Mike Jr. (PMJ) has done it again. His powerful new single, "He Can," has debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Gospel Digital Song Sales Chart, marking yet another historic milestone in his groundbreaking career.
The single shot straight to the top upon release, underscoring Pastor Mike Jr.'s rare ability to merge spiritual conviction with a contemporary, culture-shifting sound. The immediate chart impact reflects both the strength of the song's message and the loyalty of PMJ's ever-growing fanbase. "He Can" is available now wherever music is sold and streamed.
A bold declaration of unwavering faith and divine possibility, "He Can" reminds listeners that no situation is beyond God's reach. The anthem encourages believers to keep the faith, praise God in every season, and trust Him beyond circumstances. With driving production and an infectious hook, the song continues PMJ's signature blend of worship, testimony, and urban inspiration.
But the release carries a deeper mission.
For Pastor Mike Jr., the purpose behind "He Can" was clear: Honor God. Bless and inspire people. And upseat AI-generated music.
In tandem with the single's debut, PMJ launched a bold social media initiative titled "PMJ vs AI," igniting conversation across the Gospel and Christian music industries. The campaign addresses the increasing presence of AI-generated songs competing directly with human artists on streaming platforms and charts. Pastor Mike Jr. has been vocal about advocating for a separate chart category for AI-generated music, ensuring that human creatives are not unfairly competing with algorithm-driven content.
"This is bigger than me," says Pastor Mike Jr. "I'm fighting for every creative, every songwriter, every producer, and every real artist who puts their heart and soul into their music. Gospel music comes from experience. It comes from prayer. It comes from testimony. There is nothing God can't do - and no machine can replicate what God breathes into a human spirit."
Dubbed "The New King of Urban Inspiration," Pastor Mike Jr. has scored seven consecutive No. 1 singles on Billboard's National Gospel Airplay chart. His breakout anthem "B!G" was named Billboard's No. 1 Gospel Airplay Song of 2020. Beyond music, he serves as Senior Pastor of Rock City Church in Birmingham, Alabama, where ministry and creativity intersect to impact thousands weekly.
Through his music, leadership, and fearless cultural engagement, Pastor Mike Jr. continues to bridge ministry and mainstream influence - proving once again that faith-filled authenticity resonates louder than ever.
