Marcus Jordan’s ‘I Can’ Is No. 1 on Gospel Airplay Chart

Marcus Jordan scores his second No. 1 on Billboard’s Gospel Airplay chart as “I Can” ascends to the top of the chart dated July 5. During the June 20-26 tracking week, the song increased by 5% in plays, according to Luminate.

Jordan solely authored, co-produced and self-released “I Can.”

Jordan is pastor of St. Paul Missionary Baptist Church in Houston. He was a police officer before entering the ministry. He notched his initial Gospel Airplay leader when his first of three entries, “Call on the Name,” led for a week in February 2023. His second hit, “Dance,” reached No. 20 that December.

“‘I Can’ is a testament to my mission of inspiring hope, strength and faith through music,” Jordan tells Billboard. “This single is really special to me because it was the first song I ever wrote. Now it is receiving more recognition than I could imagine. Reaching No. 1 again isn’t only a personal achievement, but a reminder of the power of faith and perseverance.”
