Cochren & Co. is celebrating a major milestone following the release of its third studio album, Runs In The Blood, which has quickly connected with listeners across the Christian music landscape.
Released through Gotee Records on May 29, the 12-track project generated more than 1.87 million streams during its first week, marking one of the strongest launches of the band's career. The album's success was further boosted by prominent playlist placements on Spotify, Amazon Music, and Pandora, helping introduce the group's music to a wider audience.
Frontman Michael Cochren describes Runs In The Blood as his most personal collection of songs to date, reflecting themes of faith, family, redemption, and God's sustaining grace. The project also showcases an expanded musical palette, blending the band's signature mix of rock, soul, and blues with deeply personal storytelling.
Several tracks had already built momentum ahead of the album's release. "What Grace Can Do" has surpassed 5.6 million streams, while "Stand My Ground" has generated more than 2.3 million streams. The title track, "Runs In The Blood," continues to resonate with listeners through its message of hope and spiritual heritage.
The album represents another significant step forward for Cochren & Co., whose rise in Christian music has included multiple Billboard radio hits and a growing national audience. Fans will have the opportunity to hear the new songs live this fall when the band joins Zach Williams as a special guest on the upcoming Revival Nights Tour.
As Runs In The Blood continues to gain traction, its early success underscores the enduring appeal of Cochren & Co.'s faith-centered message and distinctive blend of rock and soul. For Christian listeners, the album serves as a reminder that God's grace remains constant through every season of life.
