Tamela Mann’s “Live Breathe Fight” Hits #1 — Most in Gospel History

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Veteran Music Executive Damon Stewart Secures 76th No. 1 Single at Gospel Radio, Expands Gospel’s Boundaries

(CHICAGO) IL March 20, 2026 — Gospel radio has a new standard. Tamela Mann’s latest release, “Live Breathe Fight,” claims her 13th Billboard Gospel Airplay #1, making her the most chart-topping artist in Gospel history. The single also marks the 76th No. 1 for IGA Talent Management, led by President & CEO Damon Stewart.

Building on this historic momentum, Mann is set to take her message to audiences nationwide as she prepares to hit the road for the Love and Relationship tour beginning this April, bringing “Live Breathe Fight” to life for fans across the country.

Stewart has long been driven by a mission to bring inspirational music global recognition and lasting impact. Under his leadership, IGA has not only elevated Gospel radio but expanded the format itself, promoting Will Smith’s #1 single “You Can Make It” and T.I.’s #1 single “Thank God” — the only Hip-Hop songs to ever top the Billboard Gospel Airplay chart — opening doors for Hip-Hop artists to be recognized across inspirational formats.

“It’s God who fuels the fire in my heart, giving me the courage, dedication, and drive to sacrifice and hustle for the artists He has placed in my life. I believe He knows I will help them discover their purpose, and in return, it reminds me of the purpose He has placed in me. I pour myself into their dreams because I know it’s His plan for us to succeed together. When they win, I win, and that fire keeps me relentless in pursuing every opportunity, every milestone, and every breakthrough. It brings me joy to know God’s hand guides me to be the best father, son, husband, and devoted follower I can be. I am simply grateful.”

“Each record is a testament to faith, hard work, and opportunity — not just a number on a chart,” Stewart added. “When we pair excellence with purpose, nurture talent, and open doors for voices that might otherwise go unheard, Gospel music grows stronger and more relevant — bridging generations, genres, and hearts, while opening doors for further expansion and innovation.”

Stewart’s career spans global icons like Kanye West, John Legend, Eminem, and Jay-Z, as well as Gospel Icons including Kirk Franklin, Maverick City Music, Chandler Moore, and Tye Tribbett. He was recently inducted into the Gospel Music Hall of Fame and launched IGA Digital to accelerate DSP growth across all genres for his artists.
