Anne Wilson
Cameron Powell*Anne Wilson's launch single "My Jesus" ascends to No. 1 on Billboard's Hot Christian Songs chart (dated Aug. 14), which combines airplay, sales and streaming data.
On Christian Airplay, the track rises 4-2, up 6% to 9.1 million audience impressions, according to MRC Data. It ranks at No. 2 on Christian Digital Song Sales after five weeks at the summit (3,000 sold) and jumps 14-8 on Christian Streaming Songs, awarding Wilson her first top 10 (1.6 million U.S. streams, up 12%).
The 19-year-old Wilson co-authored the song with Jeff Pardo and Matthew West.
"I've been blown away by how God has been using 'My Jesus' to impact so many lives," Wilson tells Billboard. "I'm so honored that He chose me to be His vessel for this specific time and season. My favorite part so far has been seeing people sing 'My Jesus' at shows to the top of their lungs and hearing stories of how they've been impacted by the song. I would've never dreamed that God would use this song in such a mighty way."
"My Jesus" is the first debut single to top Hot Christian Songs since Cory Asbury's "Reckless Love," which dominated for 18 frames starting in March 2018. The last woman before Wilson to lead with a first entry was Brooke Simpson's "Amazing Grace," which entered on top in December 2017. Simpson finished third in the 13th season of NBC's The Voice.
Wilson, from Lexington, Ky., released her first, EP My Jesus (Live in Nashville), Aug. 6. The five-song set was recorded live at the White Dove Barn in Nashville. Wilson is also working on her first full-length studio album.

For Lamb of God, this upcoming run will be their first proper Australian headline tour in almost ten years. The Richmond, Virginia metal giants, who have received five Grammy nominations throughout their career, most recently appeared in Australia during Knotfest Australia in 2024.
Since forming in the mid 1990s, the group have cemented themselves as one of the defining names in heavy metal. Tracks like “Laid to Rest,” “Redneck,” “Walk With Me in Hell,” and “Now You’ve Got Something to Die For” continue to stand as fan favorites and staples within the genre. Earlier this year, the band released their newest studio album, Into Oblivion.
Trivium, who came together in Orlando, Florida in 1999, have built a reputation over the years as one of modern metal’s most dynamic and technically skilled live bands. Their music blends elements of thrash, progressive, melodic death, and groove metal, while their 2017 track “Betrayer” earned the band a Grammy nomination.
The group has also achieved several top 20 entries on the Billboard 200 along with multiple chart topping releases on the Billboard Hard Rock Albums chart. Trivium last visited Australia in 2023 for the first ever Knotfest Australia, where their Brisbane sideshow received strong praise from fans and critics alike. Their most recent project is the 2024 EP Struck Dead, which followed their 2021 album In the Court of the Dragon.
Bleed From Within will open the tour after recently celebrating two decades as a band. The Glasgow metalcore act released their seventh studio album Zenith in 2025 and have previously toured alongside major names including Slipknot, Bullet for My Valentine, and Megadeth throughout their career.
