Billboard Names Switch No. 1 New Christian Artist of the Year

Life.Church’s group, Switch, has had a blessed year as a breakout group in the Christian music industry. The group debuted their first album on DREAM Records in February 2019 and immediately saw their single, “Symphony (feat. Dillon Chase)” make an impact in radio. Now, with a national audience of over 300 million and nearly 30 million streams, Switch has been named Billboard’s No. 1 New Christian Artist of the Year for 2019.

“This honor is incredibly humbling and unexpected,” said JT Murrell, who oversees worship and album production at Life.Church. “We never could have imagined what God would do through Switch this year, but we’re so grateful to be a part of how He’s reaching the world.”

DREAM Records and Dillon Chase also earned spots on the year end chart. Chase garnered the No. 4 spot for New Christian Artist of the Year and DREAM Records landed at No. 4 for Christian CHR Imprints and No. 10 for Hot Christian Songs Labels. Billboard’s year end charts are based on chart performance, streaming, social media and Billboard Boxscore data from Nov. 24, 2018 to Nov. 16, 2019.
