From ‘Different’ to Gold: Micah Tyler’s ‘Even Then’ Goes RIAA Certified as New Single ‘Perfectly’ Ignites a Fresh Chapter

Micah Tyler is celebrating a major career milestone as his hit single “Even Then” has officially achieved RIAA Gold certification, marking his second Gold record following his breakout success “Different.” The track, originally featured on his 2017 debut album Different, has become an enduring anthem of hope in difficult moments, reassuring listeners that they are never alone even when life feels overwhelming. “Even Then” topped the Mediabase Christian AC chart and stands as one of Tyler’s seven radio No. 1 hits, solidifying his place as one of Christian music’s most consistent and heartfelt voices. The Gold certification arrives nearly a decade after the song’s release, a testament to its slow-burning but deep impact on audiences navigating grief, uncertainty, and doubt.

Now, Tyler is quickly building momentum with his current single, “Perfectly,” which is shaping up to be another standout in his catalog. The track premiered on SiriusXM The Message and has already generated over 29 million social media views while attracting more than 300,000 new followers. “Perfectly” is off to a strong start at CCM radio, currently spinning on nearly 50 stations including K-LOVE, KSBJ (Houston), Shine.FM (Chicago), Star 99.1 (New York), WCSG (Grand Rapids), and His Radio. “We all just need to remember that it’s not about us being perfect—it’s about being loved perfectly by a perfect Savior,” Tyler said. Serving as the lead single from his upcoming album—with more details to be announced soon—the song points to a new chapter ahead while continuing the honest, hope-filled impact Tyler has delivered since his 2017 debut.
