2025 NAACP Image Award-Winning Recording Artist Tamela Mann scores her 12th career No. 1 single with “Deserve To Win” taking the top spot on Billboard Radio Gospel Airplay chart this week.
An anthem of encouragement, “Deserve To Win” marks Tamela’s second No. 1 single from her award-winning Live Breathe Fight album.
“All glory to God for his continued blessings and the platform he has given my music,” said Tamela. “I hope ‘Deserve To Win’ is a reminder that when you show up, do your part, and work the gifts God has placed in you, don’t be ashamed to pat yourself on the back because you’ve earned the right to celebrate. You DESERVE TO WIN!”
Continuing to spread the message of Live Breathe Fight, Tamela hits the road beginning in May for The Live Breathe Fight Tour alongside fellow artists David Mann, Erica Campbell, Tye Tribbett, Karen Clark-Sheard and Kierra Sheard. The Live Breathe Fight Tour is more than just a concert—it’s an experience. Designed to uplift, empower, and inspire, each night will deliver an unforgettable experience that blends soul-stirring music with personal testimonies and moments of encouragement.
“The Live Breathe Fight Tour is all about faith, resilience, and the power of praise,” said Tamela. “We want people to leave encouraged, refreshed, and ready to keep pushing forward no matter what they’re facing. LIVE like heaven is your destiny. BREATHE every breath with purpose, and FIGHT until you get the victory.”
Tamela’s NAACP Image Award-winning album Live Breathe Fight is produced by Tamela, David, Phillip Bryant, and Jevon Hill. It is a collection of many of the most compelling and deeply vulnerable songs of Tamela’s decorated career.
Penned by Tamela, Bryant and Tameka Mintze aka “Tia Sharee,” the single “Working for Me” dominated gospel radio as her fastest climbing single to date and earned Tamela a place in Billboard history with her 11th No. 1 hit, more than any other gospel artist. “Deserve To Win” surpasses that record, marking 12 No. 1 hits, solidifying Tamela’s historical accomplishment on the Billboard Gospel Radio chart.
