Pastor Mike Jr. Debuts at #1 with Viral Hit “He Can” — Igniting Faith and Fueling Industry Debate

28x Stellar Award winner and GRAMMY® nominated powerhouse Pastor Mike Jr. (PMJ) is once again proving that faith-filled music still leads the culture. His brand-new single, “He Can,” has officially debuted at #1 on the Billboard Gospel Digital Song Sales Chart, marking yet another milestone in a career defined by impact, innovation, and inspiration.

Available now wherever music is sold and streamed, “He Can” made an immediate splash upon release — propelled straight to the top by a loyal and energized fanbase. The achievement underscores Pastor Mike Jr.’s unique ability to merge spiritual conviction with contemporary sound, delivering music that resonates deeply across generations.

A Bold Declaration of Faith

“He Can” is more than a song — it is a declaration. Rooted in unwavering belief and divine possibility, the track reminds listeners that no situation is beyond God’s reach. Through powerful lyrics and dynamic production, PMJ encourages believers to keep praising, keep trusting, and keep pushing forward — no matter the season.

But this release carries even greater weight.

PMJ vs AI: A Cultural Conversation

In tandem with the single, Pastor Mike Jr. launched a headline-grabbing social media campaign titled “PMJ vs AI.” The initiative boldly addresses the growing presence of AI-generated artists and songs entering and even dominating Christian and Gospel charts.

With authenticity at the forefront, PMJ is advocating for transparency and fairness in the marketplace — calling for separate chart categories for AI-generated music so human creatives are not forced to compete directly 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.”

His stance has sparked meaningful industry dialogue, reinforcing a powerful truth: Gospel music is born from testimony, not technology.

The New King of Urban Inspiration

Dubbed “The New King of Urban Inspiration,” Pastor Mike Jr. continues to dominate Billboard’s National Gospel Airplay chart, with seven consecutive number-one singles. His breakout hit “B!G” was recognized as Billboard’s #1 Gospel Airplay Song of 2020, solidifying his influence across the genre.

Beyond music, PMJ serves as Senior Pastor of Rock City Church in Birmingham, Alabama, and founder of Rock City Media Group — bridging ministry and mainstream culture with fearless leadership.

With “He Can,” Pastor Mike Jr. is not only topping charts — he’s leading a movement. A reminder that faith still wins. And yes — He can.
