The Choir Room Hits No. 1 Radio with Love Never Fails Featuring Fred Hammond

The Choir Room, the gospel ensemble led by Dwan Hill, reached No. 1 on gospel radio charts with its single "Love Never Fails," featuring veteran gospel artist Fred Hammond, according to reports from The Urban Music Scene on June 12, 2026.

The achievement marks a significant moment for the group, which has been steadily building its profile in contemporary gospel music. "Love Never Fails" draws on the language of 1 Corinthians 13, a passage central to Christian worship music across generations.

Fred Hammond, who has been a fixture in gospel music since the 1980s, brings considerable credibility to the collaboration. His work with Commissioned and his solo career have earned him multiple Stellar Awards and Grammy nominations. His presence on the track helped introduce The Choir Room to a broader audience.

Dwan Hill, who founded The Choir Room, said the No. 1 position reflects the hunger listeners have for music rooted in scripture. "People want something real," Hill said in a statement. "This song is about the one thing that doesn't fail."

The single's success comes during a busy period for gospel music. CeCe Winans released her album "The Hymns" on June 5, and the 41st Stellar Gospel Music Awards are scheduled for August 15 in Charlotte, North Carolina, with Kirk Franklin set to host.

The Choir Room is expected to perform at several summer gospel events following the chart success. No album release date has been announced, though the group has indicated new music is in development.
