Jamal Roberts’ victory on American Idol Season 23 isn’t just changing his life — it’s shaking up the charts.

Just days after he was crowned the winner, Roberts’ powerhouse rendition of “Heal” soared straight to the top of the iTunes charts and is now making major waves on Billboard as well. This week, “Heal” makes a stunning debut across four Billboard charts, including:

No. 1 on Hot Gospel Songs
No. 1 on Gospel Digital Song Sales
No. 2 on the overall Digital Song Sales chart (second only to BTS’s Jin)
No. 7 on Gospel Streaming Songs

These entries mark Roberts’ first Billboard chart-toppers and solidify his place as one of the breakout stars of the year — not just in gospel, but in digital sales overall. According to Luminate, “Heal” sold nearly 8,800 copies during its debut week — an impressive feat for any new artist, especially one freshly off a reality TV competition.

But Roberts’ success isn’t just limited to his winner’s single.

His earlier gospel release, “He’s Preparing Me”, which predates his American Idol fame, is also experiencing a revival. Thanks to the spotlight shining on his career, the track debuts at No. 4 on the Gospel Digital Song Sales chart, showing that fans are digging deep into his musical roots — not just his latest triumph.

This dual-charting week showcases the powerful connection Roberts has forged with audiences, blending mainstream appeal with his gospel foundations. “Heal,” originally a Tom Odell song, struck an emotional chord with viewers and listeners alike, and it’s clearly translating into measurable success.

It’s a fast and furious rise for Roberts, who only a few weeks ago was a stay-at-home dad in Meridian, Mississippi, singing for his daughters. Now, with a No. 1 hit, a Billboard chart breakthrough, and a rapidly growing fanbase, Jamal Roberts is officially a force to be reckoned with in gospel music and beyond.
