28x Stellar Award winner and GRAMMY nominated triple-threat, Pastor Mike Jr. (PMJ), has once again proven the power of faith filled music in the digital era.
His latest single, “He Can,” debuts at #1 on the Billboard Gospel Digital Song Sales Chart, marking another milestone in an already groundbreaking career. The single’s immediate impact propelled it to the top of the digital sales chart upon release, underscoring Pastor Mike Jr.’s unique ability to connect spiritual conviction with contemporary sound and a testament of PMJ’s loyal fanbase. “He Can” is available now wherever music is sold and streamed.
“He Can” is a bold declaration of unwavering faith and divine possibility, reminding listeners that no situation is beyond God’s reach. The song encourages believers to keep the faith, praise God through every season, and trust Him beyond circumstances.
For Pastor Mike Jr., the mission behind “He Can” was clear: Honor God, Bless and Inspire People and Upseat AI-Generated Music. In tandem with the release, PMJ launched a bold and headline-grabbing social media initiative titled “PMJ vs AI.” The campaign challenges the growing presence of AI-generated artists and songs dominating Christian and Gospel music charts. The campaign spotlights a critical and timely industry conversation: the increasing volume of AI-generated songs entering the Gospel and Christian marketplace — and competing directly against human artists. PMJ has been vocal about his desire to see a separate chart category for AI-generated music, ensuring that human creatives are not unfairly competing with algorithm-driven content.
“This is bigger than me,” says Pastor Mike Jr. “I’m fighting for every creative, every songwriter, every producer, and every real artist who puts their heart and soul into their music. Gospel music comes from experience. It comes from prayer. It comes from testimony. There is nothing God can’t do — and no machine can replicate what God breathes into a human spirit.”
Dubbed “The New King of Urban Inspiration,” Pastor Mike Jr. has scored seven consecutive number-one singles on Billboard’s National Gospel Airplay chart. His breakout single “B!G” was recognized as Billboard’s #1 Gospel Airplay Song of 2020. He serves as the Senior Pastor of Rock City Church in Birmingham, AL.
