Michelle Williams' 'Say Yes' Tops Hot Gospel Charts
Michelle Williams, the 32-year-old singer formerly of Destiny's Child, is enjoying Billboard music chart success with her new single "Say Yes."
The song features Williams' former group members Beyonce Knowles and Kelly Rowland who also appeared in the visuals for the record that were released last week. Now, Billboard is reporting that the song has shot from number 9 to number one on the Hot Gospel Songs charts.
"The majority of its chart points (61 percent) is from streaming, as the song roars 18-1 on Gospel Streaming Songs with a 1,749 percent blast to 1.2 million streams for the week (placing just outside the 100 most-streamed songs among all formats)," Billboard reports. "The reason for the jump? The song's video premiered on June 18."

Williams was ecstatic with the news, and took to her Twitter to thank her supporters for her newfound success.
"I have to say thank you with alllll of my heart to all the internet radio stations that have been rocking with me!!! #sayyes," Williams tweeted.
After releasing "Say Yes" Williams explained how it felt to reunite with her former group members again.
"It feels wonderful [to work with them], and no matter how much we try to say it's not a Destiny's Child song [it doesn't matter]," she told MTV.
Despite her growing success, the singer admitted last year that she was not sure of her gospel music career.
"I have to be honest with you. I had a moment this week," Williams said while appearing at One Church International in Los Angeles, Calif last year. "I said, 'God, you have to tell me if this is what you told me to do, 'cause I don't see it.'"
Williams began attending the church when her good friend Rowland referred her. The gospel music singer's recent experience seemed to help her grow spiritually.
"I'm just telling you how restored I am and how God is definitely a healer," she said speaking at the church last year.
