Josiah Queen continues his rapid rise in Christian music as his hit single "Demons" claims the No. 1 spot on Billboard's Top Gabb Music Songs chart for March 2026. The milestone marks Queen's first chart-topping achievement on the Gabb ranking and signals a defining moment in what has quickly become one of the most compelling breakout stories in faith-based music this year.
The chart, developed through Billboard's partnership with Gabb Wireless, tracks streaming activity on the Gabb Music platform, a curated service designed specifically for younger audiences. Within that space, "Demons" has stood out not only for its musical appeal but also for its message-offering an honest, faith-centered reflection on struggle, identity, and spiritual warfare.
Since its release in January, "Demons" has shown steady and impressive growth. It debuted at No. 4 despite being released midway through the month, climbed to No. 2 in February, and now secures the top position for March. The song's trajectory reflects both strong listener engagement and a growing connection with audiences drawn to its vulnerable yet hope-filled narrative.
Billboard reports that "Demons" is only the second explicitly religious track to reach No. 1 on the Top Gabb Music Songs chart, following Forrest Frank's "Your Way's Better." Beyond the Gabb platform, the single has also made a major impact on Billboard's Top Christian Songs chart, where it peaked at No. 2 and has remained within the top five-further underscoring its cross-platform resonance.
Queen's success extends well beyond a single track. He placed three songs on the March chart, tying with NF for the most entries that month. "Dusty Bibles" reached No. 7, while "Judas" debuted at No. 17 following its March 20 release. This multi-song presence points to a broader body of work that is gaining traction, not just a one-off hit.
Emerging as one of the most authentic new voices in Christian music, Josiah Queen has built his growing fanbase through raw storytelling, stripped-back production, and a bold willingness to address real-life struggles through a lens of faith. His music often explores themes of repentance, identity in Christ, and the tension between brokenness and redemption-elements that have resonated strongly with younger listeners seeking both honesty and hope.
Unlike many artists who arrive with polished industry backing, Queen's rise has been marked by a grassroots, organic connection with fans. His ability to translate deeply personal spiritual battles into relatable songs has positioned him as a voice for a generation navigating faith in a complex cultural moment.
With "Demons" now sitting at No. 1 and multiple songs charting simultaneously, Josiah Queen is not only having a breakthrough moment-he is establishing himself as a lasting presence in the Christian music landscape. As his audience continues to grow, so too does the impact of his message: that even in the midst of struggle, freedom and transformation are possible through faith.
