Jekalyn Carr's single "My Portion" has hit the #1 position on Billboard's Gospel Airplay chart, making it her sixth #1 radio single and bringing her tally of career number ones to 10.


"I'm excited that radio is playing 'My Portion', and I hope that people are blessed by hearing it," says Carr. "The song is a reminder that our portion is always filled with good news. Though we may encounter difficulty, hardship, sickness and other challenges - the portion that is promised to us is victory so we have to keep the faith."

Carr will also co-host the 37th Annual Stellar Gospel Music Awards alongside the gifted Kierra Sheard-Kelly. This is a double first for Carr, who is the youngest artist to co-host the show for two consecutive years. This will also be the first year that two female artists assume co-hosting duties. 

In April, Carr received enormous media attention for her showstopping Grammy Award look. She was named one of the evening's best dressed by VarietyDeadlineEonlinePeopleEssence and more. A show-stopping look like that doesn't come together without advance planning and preparation. This behind-the-scenes video shows just how Jekalyn did it.
