CeCe Winans Makes History!

This article and Press Release is close to my heart, as I’ve followed CeCe’s career and music most of my life as a Recording Artist and Journalist. It seems like every time I turn on the radio, one of her hit songs is playing.

Los Angeles, CA – Once again, the most decorated female gospel artist CeCe Winans, captivated the nation with a soul-stirring performance during American Idol’s recent “Songs of Faith” Easter special. Her powerful rendition of “Come Jesus Come” became an instant viral sensation, garnering 25 million plus views in its first 36 hours and surged to Top 3 on Apple Music’s All Genre Singles Chart, an extraordinary milestone for a gospel track.

This marks the second year in a row CeCe has made American Idol  history. Her 2024 performance of “Goodness of God” with Idol contestant, Roman Collins was the most viewed American Idol performance of all time, reaching over 120 million views across platforms and sparking a renewed national appreciation for gospel music.

CeCe says” “To be invited back to American Idol to share a message of hope through music is such an honor,” said CeCe Winans. “This song means so much to me and teaming up with Cody brings a new richness to the message. It’s a reminder that in the midst of all we face, there’s still the promise that help is on the way.”
