The acclaimed Christian band Newsboys is closing out 2024 on an extraordinary high, shattering streaming records, captivating audiences across the country, and setting the stage for an even more dynamic 2025. From the overwhelming success of their latest album Worldwide Revival (Part One) to the ongoing triumph of their Worldwide Revival Nights Tour, Newsboys have proven once again why they remain a cornerstone of contemporary Christian music.

Released on July 19, 2024, Worldwide Revival (Part One) has redefined success for the iconic group. The album’s first single, “Heaven on Earth,” dropped on March 15, 2024, quickly becoming a chart-topping hit. With over 19 million streams, the album has broken the band’s previous records and left an indelible mark on fans worldwide. “Heaven on Earth” soared into the Top 40 on both the Adult Contemporary and Airplay Charts, while its official music video exceeded all expectations, amassing an astounding 1.7 million views—a staggering 288% increase compared to previous releases.

The momentum didn’t stop there. The album’s focus track, “How Many Times,” dominated its release week, outperforming the band’s past singles by an impressive 172%. Amplifying the buzz, Meta partnered with Newsboys to endorse fan-driven content, leading to over 4 million views on social media. Short-form content became a game-changer for the band, with 420,000 user-created videos featuring album tracks collectively garnering 7.4 million views across platforms.

In celebration of Worldwide Revival (Part One), Newsboys hosted three electrifying album release events in Nashville, Dallas, and Washington, D.C., engaging directly with fans and sharing the momentous occasion with long-time radio partners WAYFM, KSBJ, and WGTS. The band also made waves in the podcast world with appearances on Unlocked with Savannah Chrisley, The Sean McDowell Show, and That Sounds Fun with Annie F. Downs.

As if 2024 couldn’t get any bigger, Newsboys also lit up the big screen with a performance cameo in God’s Not Dead: In God We Trust. Released on September 12, 2024, the film featured their stirring anthem “In God We Trust,” solidifying their connection to the beloved movie franchise.

The Worldwide Revival Nights Tour has been another major highlight of 2024, delivering unforgettable experiences to packed venues across the country. From soul-stirring worship moments to high-energy performances, Newsboys’ dynamic stage presence continues to captivate audiences nationwide. And the journey isn’t over—the tour will extend into 2025, reaching new audiences across the United States and, for the first time in years, Canada.

Looking ahead, 2025 promises even more groundbreaking milestones. Fans can expect the release of Christ and Christ Crucified: Worldwide Edition (EP) and Worldwide Revival (Part One) Deluxe. Additionally, “How Many Times” is set to make a powerful radio impact in January, ensuring the new year starts with the same momentum that made 2024 so unforgettable.
