The enduringly relevant singer is one of the few Gospel artists who have amassed more than 1 billion streams on Pandora; the platform officially crowned him a Billion Spinner in 2022. A nod to his continued influence in music, Marvin Sapp was inducted into the Black Music Entertainment Walk of Fame in 2023, along with Dallas Austin, Queen Latifah, Jermaine Dupri, Busta Rhymes, Magic Johnson, Lil Wayne and Mahalia Jackson.
