Singer-songwriter Jordan St. Cyr notches his first No. 1 on Billboard‘s Christian Airplay chart as “Weary Traveler” ascends to the top of the list dated April 2. In the tracking week ending March 27, the song drew 8.9 million audience impressions, according to Luminate, formerly MRC Data.
St. Cyr penned “Weary Traveler” with AJ Pruis and Matthew West.
“Watching this song unfold and serve so many through this heavy season was a beautiful thing to witness,” St. Cyr tells Billboard. “Having ‘Weary Traveler’ be my first No. 1 is a moment I won’t soon forget.”
“Weary Traveler” is the second single from St. Cyr’s self-titled debut LP. The 10-song set debuted on the Top Christian Albums chart dated March 19 and lifts 35-34 for a new high on the latest list, with 1,000 equivalent album units earned in the week ending March 24.
The set’s lead single “Fires” reached its No. 5 best on Christian Airplay last June, giving St. Cyr his first of two top 10s. (In between, he released the stand-alone holiday song “Rejoice,” which peaked No. 40.)
St. Cyr — from Manitoba, Canada — is currently on tour with Jeremy Camp and Riley Clemmons on the I Still Believe Tour. The 20-city trek is set to wrap May 1 in Melbourne, Fla.
