It’s another major milestone for Christian music singer-songwriter Jamie MacDonald, who has earned her first two RIAA Gold certifications for her hit singles “Desperate” and “Left It in the River.”
The Capitol Christian Music Group artist received the certifications following an impressive breakout year that has seen her gain significant recognition across the Christian music scene. Both songs have reached No. 1, adding to an already successful run for the rising singer.
MacDonald’s achievement comes after a remarkable year that includes three consecutive No. 1 singles and more than 340 million global streams. She also recently took home the New Artist of the Year award at the 2026 GMA Dove Awards, further highlighting her growing presence in Christian music.
Her single “Left It in the River” has been particularly successful, spending 12 weeks at No. 1 on Christian radio before earning Song of the Year honours at the K-LOVE Fan Awards. MacDonald also delivered a memorable performance of the track during the closing moments of the 57th Annual GMA Dove Awards.
The two Gold certifications mark another important achievement in her developing career, celebrating the growing reach of music that continues to connect with listeners.
Custom Gold awards commemorating the milestone were crafted by Jewel Box Platinum, which also congratulated MacDonald and the entire Capitol Christian Music Group team on the achievement.
With two RIAA Gold certifications, multiple chart-topping singles and an award-winning year behind her, Jamie MacDonald continues to build momentum as one of contemporary Christian music’s emerging voices.
