Following a breakout season that saw his debut album The Prodigal reach No. 1 on the Billboard Top Christian Albums chart and his Gold-certified hit "Dusty Bibles" become his first entry on the Billboard Hot 100, Queen continues his meteoric rise with what may be his most vulnerable offering yet.
"Judas" places the listener directly into the story of Judas Iscariot — not to condemn, but to illuminate a sobering truth: betrayal is not confined to biblical villains. Queen challenges audiences to see themselves in the narrative, reflecting on the human capacity to turn away from faith while pointing toward a Savior who chose the cross despite knowing the cost.
Musically, the track fuses Queen's signature folk-infused authenticity with a driving, larger-than-life soundscape — galloping guitar riffs, breakneck banjo lines, and furiously pounding drums build into a minimalist yet anthemic chorus that captures both the weight of conviction and the hope of redemption.
The single debuted at No. 10 on Billboard's Hot Christian Songs and No. 32 on Hot Rock & Alternative Songs in its first charting frame, while climbing to No. 2 on Christian Digital Song Sales and No. 6 on Rock Digital Song Sales.
"Judas" was written by Queen alongside Dylan Thomas, John Michael Howell, and Zac Lawson, with production by Thomas and Howell .
Queen is currently on his Mt. Zion Tour, with North American dates running through early May before crossing the Atlantic for UK and European legs through September 2026.
