Overview
This listing features the songwriting royalties from Wholehearted, the 2021 album by the acclaimed Christian band We Are Messengers.
The catalog has followed a familiar trajectory for successful Christian releases—marked by strong initial growth driven by viral singles and radio airplay, followed by a gradual taper as the release cycle matured. Rather than signaling decline, this trend reflects a natural post-release arc and suggests the catalog has potential to enter a stable long-tail monetization phase.
With a Dollar Age of 4.03 years, the earnings profile shows signs of maturity while still allowing for some variability, especially as core tracks continue to generate consistent activity across digital platforms.
Artist & Song Information
We Are Messengers is an Irish-American Christian band, known for blending honest, faith-driven lyrics with accessible pop-rock and worship sounds. Originally from Monaghan, Ireland, the band relocated to the U.S. in 2015 and has since become a staple in the contemporary Christian music scene. Their third studio album, Wholehearted, released in 2021, was written during the pandemic and explores themes of vulnerability, trust, and God’s unwavering presence. The project features collaborations with Josh Baldwin, Cory Asbury, and Vince Gill, and includes the hit single “Come What May,” which reached No. 1 on Christian Airplay and earned a Dove Award nomination. Critically praised for its emotional sincerity and pop-centric sound, Wholehearted debuted at No. 15 on Billboard’s Top Christian Albums chart and solidified the band’s reputation for delivering heartfelt, faith-anchored music.
