Mariah Carey Scores First Entry on Billboard’s Hot Gospel Songs Chart with “Jesus I Do”

Global superstar Mariah Carey has added another milestone to her legendary career, securing her first-ever placement on Billboard's Hot Gospel Songs chart. Her new track "Jesus I Do," a powerful collaboration with gospel icons The Clark Sisters, debuts at No. 5, marking a career first for the multi-Grammy-winning singer-songwriter and showcasing her deep connection to faith-based music.

The song is featured on Carey's newly released sixteenth studio album, Here for It All, which has made an impressive entrance across multiple Billboard charts. The album debuted at No. 7 on the Billboard 200, earning 47,000 equivalent album units in its opening week, including 39,000 in pure sales. It also premiered at No. 1 on the Top Album Sales chart, reaffirming Carey's rare ability to drive strong physical and digital sales in the streaming era. In addition, the album entered at No. 2 on the Top R&B Albums chart and No. 3 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart, underscoring her continued relevance and versatility across genres.

With Here for It All, Carey notched her nineteenth Top 10 album on the Billboard 200, surpassing Taylor Swift and cementing her position as the female artist with the third-most Top 10 albums in chart history. This achievement further extends Carey's remarkable three-decade run as one of the most influential voices in popular music.

"Jesus I Do" represents a particularly meaningful chapter in Carey's career. Long celebrated for her gospel-inspired vocal runs and faith-infused lyrics, Carey has often acknowledged the role gospel music played in her upbringing. Partnering with The Clark Sisters - pioneers and legends of the genre - was a long-held dream that came to life on Here for It All. The song's immediate success on the Hot Gospel Songs chart reflects the authenticity and passion behind the collaboration.

"This charting is deeply humbling," Carey said. "I grew up listening to gospel every Sunday, and to see 'Jesus I Do' embraced in that space is one of the most special moments of this era. Working with The Clark Sisters was a dream realized, and this recognition feels like affirmation of the spiritual heart behind the music."

For Carey, the success of "Jesus I Do" not only underscores her continued ability to cross genres with impact but also highlights her ongoing commitment to making music that resonates with both mainstream and faith-driven audiences. Here for It All blends her pop and R&B legacy with moments of introspection and spirituality, showing a veteran artist still eager to expand her creative horizons.

As Carey celebrates her latest chart triumph, she adds yet another chapter to a career defined by groundbreaking achievements, timeless music, and a voice that continues to inspire generations
