Recently signed Word Records rock foursome Building 429 achieved the No. 1 position on eight radio charts with its debut single, "Glory Defined." The song hit No. 1 on Christian Radio Weekly's (CRW) AC chart faster than any other single in the publication's history and remained in the chart's top spot for 10 consecutive weeks.

"Glory Defined" is the first single from Building 429's debut, the five-song EP Glory Defined, which released April 6. The song also claimed the No. 1 position on the following charts: CRW CHR (four weeks); Radio & Records (R&R) Monitored AC (five consecutive weeks); R&R CHR (three weeks); Billboard.com "AC Hot Christian Adult Contemporary" (four weeks); Billboard.com "AC Hot Christian Singles and Tracks" (five weeks); The PDAdvisor (PDA) CHR (eight weeks); and PDA AC (one week).

"Glory Defined" became the first single from a debut artist to ever hold 100% of R&R's AC panel, prior to the chart changing to a monitored and indicator split chart, CRW managing editor Jim Veldhuis said. It was only the second time for any artist, debut or veteran, to achieve that accolade, the other being Building 429's labelmate Jaci Velasquez with her 2003 single "You're My God."
