Following the One Mega Weekend concert at the National Stadium, songs from Medas’ “One Thing” album surged onto the YouTube Guyana chart confirming a landmark moment for gospel music.
Samuel Medas didn’t slip onto the charts quietly. He didn’t test the waters with a single. He didn’t rely on virality or controversy.
He dropped a full album, launched it at the National Stadium, and then watched multiple songs chart simultaneously on YouTube Guyana.
That is history loud, deliberate, and undeniable.
A Stadium Launch That Changed the Conversation
The One Mega Weekend concert, held at the National Stadium, was already being described as the largest gospel concert Guyana has seen to date. Thousands gathered not just for a show, but for a shared experience rooted in faith, unity, and purpose.
What elevated the moment even further was the intention behind it.
That night wasn’t just a concert.
It was the official release of Samuel Medas’ new album, One Thing.
Launching a gospel album at the National Stadium is not a small move. It’s a statement one that redefined what’s possible for faith-based music in Guyana.
From the Stadium to the Charts
What happened next confirmed everything.
In the days following the concert, songs from One Thing began appearing across the YouTube Guyana chart not as isolated entries, but in volume.
Samuel Medas currently holds multiple chart positions at the same time, including:
Rise Up De Sword (feat. Saiku & Rondell Positive)
Running With Horses (1 Corinthians 2:14–16)
We Come Running (Psalm 24:3–6) feat. Papa San & Sarah Alexander
Last Time I Checked
Good Over Here
Believa
This level of chart presence places him among the most consistent artists in Guyana right now, across all genres.
Proof the Moment Was Bigger Than the Event
Live events are often judged by crowd size. Industry moments are judged by what happens after.
The charts now tell that story clearly.
Fans didn’t just attend the One Mega Weekend concert they continued the experience at home, streaming, sharing, and engaging with the album long after the stadium lights went down.
Multiple songs charting directly after a live album launch is the clearest sign of impact. It confirms that the music resonated beyond the moment and translated into sustained engagement.
Standing in Global Company
A closer look at the YouTube Guyana chart reveals another striking detail.
The only other artist currently charting multiple new-era entries in 2026 is Olivia Dean, an internationally established global act.
For a Guyanese gospel artist to appear in that same context driven primarily by local support and live-event momentum signals a cultural shift.
This isn’t comparison.
It’s confirmation.
A Defining Moment for Gospel in Guyana
This moment represents more than a successful album rollout.
It proves that:
Gospel music can command mainstream attention
Faith-based projects can launch at national-scale venues
Strategic live events can directly influence chart performance
Guyanese audiences are ready to support music with depth and purpose
In the opening weeks of 2026, One Thing has become more than an album. It’s a marker of growth, readiness, and belief.
Flowers Where They’re Due
This achievement reflects collective effort.
Respect must be given to:
The One Mega Weekend organizers and production team
The creatives, musicians, and collaborators who brought the album to life
The National Stadium for hosting a landmark gospel release
And the supporters who turned attendance into action
This was vision executed properly.
Looking Ahead
Samuel Medas didn’t whisper his way into history.
He stepped onto the nation’s biggest stage, released a full body of work, and let the audience carry it forward.
As 2026 continues, this moment will be remembered not just for the charts but for what it proved.
Sometimes the culture doesn’t shift quietly.
Sometimes it fills a stadium
and then fills the charts.
