Renee Spearman secures her second No. 1 on Billboard's Gospel Airplay chart with her latest single, "You Chose Me," featuring Montell Jordan and Kim Burrell. The track marks Jordan's debut No. 1 and Burrell's third on the chart. Montell Jordan, renowned for his 1995 hit "This Is How We Do It," has since transitioned his musical focus to gospel, performing at events like the 2018 Streamy Awards.

Spearman and Jordan co-wrote "You Chose Me," which delves into their shared faith and its impact on their musical journey. The song saw additional production from Jason White and Asaph Ward, both of whom have collaborated with renowned artists in the past. Spearman's previous collaboration with Burrell, "Tap Into It (The Source)," secured the top spot on the Gospel Airplay chart in 2023-24, marking both artists' first No. 1 on the chart.

Spearman's earlier hits on the format include "I Got God," which peaked at No. 7 in March 2022, and "I Love Him," a collaboration with Hezekiah Walker and Dr. Holly Carter, which reached No. 6 in February 2020.
