Nashville, Tenn. (December 10, 2025) – Curb Records’ We Are Messengers celebrates the #1 Billboard Christian Airplay Chart debut of Christmas single, “We Three Kings.” This marks the first holiday single ever to debut at #1 on the Billboard Christian Airplay Chart, as well as the first radio single to debut at #1 on the same chart in two decades. “We Three Kings” has also been in the Top 10 on the iTunes Holiday sales chart since it was released, right along some of the biggest Christmas albums of all time, including Mariah Carey, Nat “King” Cole, Michael Bublé, Andy Williams, and more. In conjunction with the Christmas releases, the band is currently on the road on their “A Celtic Christmas Tour,” with dates selling out. Listen to “We Three Kings” HERE.

“As an Irish man it is incredible to see a traditional Irish Celtic Christmas song at #1,” shares We Are Messengers frontman, Darren Mulligan. “It fills me with great joy and pride to see what is happening with ‘We Three Kings.’ This project was a labor of love, and we could never have dreamed it would connect in the way it has done with our U.S. audience. I'm so thankful for my Curb team and our friends in radio who have been so good to us.”

Part of the recently released 10-track album, Rejoice! (A Celtic Christmas), We Are Messengers expands on 2024’s five-song set of the same name. While “Thorn and Thistle (with Keith & Kristyn Getty)” remains the project’s sole original, fans can delight in We Are Messengers’ fresh arrangements of festive hymns and long-forgotten carols that immediately recall cozy, joyful Christmases spent in frontman Darren Mulligan’s native Ireland. The group heralds the season alongside some of the Emerald Isle’s best musicians, who bring the centuries-old Celtic instrumentation to life with bagpipe, penny whistle, harp, flute, concertina, fiddle and more.

We Are Messengers is currently embarking on their wildly successful inaugural “A Celtic Christmas Tour,” with all but one show already sold out. This headlining venture showcases the signature musical traditions of their homeland in eight cities this December. Any remaining tickets are available HERE.
