Music World Gospel Recording Artist Brian Courtney Wilson
Makes First Visit to the UK
Debut CD “Just Love” Remains in Top 10 After 60 Weeks on Billboard’s Top Gospel Album Chart
New Single, “Just Love” Entered the Top 20 on Billboard’s Hot Gospel Song Chart
Music World Gospel Recording Artist Brian Courtney Wilson made his first visit to the United Kingdom for the grand opening of Ruach Ministries at Gaumont State Theatre, a historic art deco building in Kilburn, northwest of London. The ministry is headed by Bishop John Francis of London. During the three-day visit, Wilson ministered to more than 4,000 worshippers, sharing the platform with Pastor Benny Hinn, Pastor Paula White, Donnie McClurkin and other distinguished guests and members of the clergy—who came from around the globe to participate in the ministries’ celebration. Wilson ushered in the Holy Spirit when he led a praise and worship service. Attendees knelt on the floor and joined in on a seven minute rendition of Wilson’s gospel chart-topping hit, “Already Here.” Pastors from all over the world were asking Bishop Francis how he knew about “this young man with such a great voice.”
“It was truly a revelation because I did not anticipate the similarities between London and American cities,” said Wilson. “I observed the same storefronts—including fried chicken shacks—in the same types of neighborhoods, with parents walking their children to school in the morning. I realized their joy and pain cannot be that different from my own. This made me feel even more empowered to minister to the people, who I hope will become part of my extended family in the UK. I pray that they all decide to just love.”
“Brian truly connected with so many people at the conference through his worship,” said Fiona Ramsay, Senior Vice President of Music World International. “The musicians at Ruach Ministries had a great spiritual connection with Brian and people who attended the service continually mentioned the pure tone of his voice—especially when Brian sang ‘Blessed Assurance’ and his new song ‘Awesome God.’ People sang along like they had heard the song a thousand times before.”
Wilson also participated in various media opportunities while in London, which included an hour interview with Premier Gospel Radio Station, where the host played six songs from the album.
Meanwhile, back in the U.S., Wilson’s Just Love CD remains at #7 on the Billboard Top Gospel Album chart after 60 weeks since its release in June 2009. His new single, “Just Love” entered in the Top 20 on Billboard’s Hot Gospel Song. Wilson’s first single, “All I Need,” is the longest-running single, charting for nearly 70 weeks on Billboard’s Hot Gospel Song chart and holding steady this week at #9. His follow-up single, “Already Here” has been on the Billboard charts for 55 weeks and remains in the Top 10 on Billboard’s Gospel Recurrent chart.
