About Bethel Music
Bethel Music was formed in 2001 by husband-and-wife Brian and Jenn Johnson to be a community of worshipers pursuing the presence of God and capturing fresh expressions of worship. Since then, it has grown from being a local church music ministry to a global outreach made up of a collective of songwriters, artists, and musicians. In the last 20 years Bethel Music has released 15 corporate worship albums, each carrying a unique theme and expression of worship to inspire and unite the global church. The label has been nominated for 16 GMA DOVE Awards in 2021 alone and has been awarded eight GMA DOVE Awards as a whole. In addition, Bethel Music was awarded three ASCAP Christian Awards including “Raise A Hallelujah” from their album VICTORY which reached Christian Radio’s #1 single of the year, and “Stand in Your Love” reaching #2 on Billboard Christian radio charts.
Having operated as a label for only 10 years, Bethel Music has broken records, ranking in CCLI’s top 25 songs for several consecutive years. “This Is Amazing Grace” has ranked in the top 25 since 2014, “No Longer Slaves” since 2015, “The Lion and the Lamb” since 2016; and new this year, “Reckless Love” appeared in the top 10 since 2018, with “Living Hope” following closely since 2018. Hitting its stride over the last year, Bethel Music has continually ranked at #6 in the top 10 radio market share.
