Deitrick Haddon Hits Top Spot At Radio

Entertainment One (“eOne”) celebrates the second #1 single release from chart-topping, triple-threat Deitrick Haddon, “Open Door Season.” The up-tempo anthem tops the Billboard Gospel’s National Airplay Chart, the second on that chart for Haddon.

Haddon’s latest album, T.I.M.E (Truth Is My Energy), is hailed as his “best work yet,” and boasts a new verse on the worshippers’ favorite track “He’s Able,” the viral, Zaytoven produced “Gorilla Faith,” and “Come Through,” which was lifted from TV One’s original film, Sins of the Father – which Haddon starred in. T.I.M.E (Truth Is My Energy)is available now at all major digital retail outlets.

Deitrick Haddon, shares, “I am very excited about Open Door Season being #1. People need to know that “doors are still open for them”, even though we have been sheltering inside. It’s not over and God is still working! It’s been 20 + years and this is my 2nd #1! If I never get another one, I’m just grateful that God is still using me. All over the world, people tell me how much my songs have helped them. That’s all that I can ask for. I thank all of them, everywhere for the support and love, as well as my label…for theirs too!”

Deitrick Haddon earned the name, “the new face of Gospel,” after his album Church on the Moon debuted at #1 on the Billboard Top Gospel chart. The Detroit native is known for his progressive, urban style of gospel music, but he is also the founding pastor of Hill City Church in California. Haddon is also a former cast member on Oxygen’s reality television show “Preachers of L.A.” During Christmas 2018, Haddon teamed up with super-producer Zaytoven to create what they consider to be their best body of work to date, on the holiday EP “Greatest Gift.” Additionally, Haddon penned three songs on Usher’s most recent album, A.

Omega George, eOne’s Director Marketing, Label Relations, Strategic Partnerships, Urban Inspirational, says: “I am excited and elated that we have been able to garner chart topping success with ‘Open Door Season.’ Deitrick Haddon is one of the most eclectic, risk-taking and creative artists of our generation. Although we were met with adversity regarding the preliminary release of T.I.M.E. (Truth Is My Energy) due to COVID-19, his vast creativity and ability to produce relevant music for the times has been unstoppable. This is historic and groundbreaking. Our team is grateful to work with and assist Deitrick, to celebrate his FIRST and SECOND NUMBER ONE radio hits after a 25-plus year musical career. This longevity affirms his determination to push beyond seasons of uncertainty, assists in the narrative of what success is to him and for this body of work. It further confirms that, EVERY TIME it might seem that he has reached his pinnacle of creativity and artistry, EVERYTHING about his ear, voice and pen proves that Deitrick Haddon is not going anywhere anytime soon.”

“Since coming on the scene in 1997, Deitrick Haddon has pushed the boundaries of the format, eliminating ceilings while creating a limitless sky for his creativity, craft and career. With 20 + years and albums to his credit, this is our third album together and proudly the 2nd of the only 2, #1 radio singles credited to his musical contributions. His latest album T.I.M.E. (Truth Is My Energy) speaks amazingly to right now and will no doubt transcend this time. (With) so much being cancelled due to COVID-19, and us all feeling “locked in”, while sheltering at home…this song works, because not only does it make you want to dance, but it is the hope and declaration we all need to believe right now! Every door for you, is still open to you. A reminder that all over the world, these may seem like crazy times, but your faith must be crazier,” Gina Miller, SVP and General Manager, eOne Music.
