Singer/songwriter Jason Bare's new single, "What Child is This," has received the most downloads to-date during New Release Tuesday's weekly download promotion. The song, from Bare's EP Have You Heard, received more than 4,225 downloads when it was a featured single recently, approximately 1,000 more than the previous top downloaded song, according to Kevin McNeese of New Release Tuesday.

"We've had a huge two weeks of downloads...I've never seen it that high before," says McNeese. "We love partnering with artists and getting music into the hands of fans," he continues. "It's been great partnering with Jason and we look forward to helping him share more music in the future."

"I am so blessed by Kevin and everyone at New Release Tuesday. They have been such a strong part of helping us spread the word about my music. I am grateful for those that downloaded the song, and I pray that it is bringing joy to them all! I look forward to a lasting relationship with New Release Tuesday and all their fans!"

Christmas is a special time of year for Bare. With a long history of leading praise and worship in traditional settings, the singer/songwriter launched his national platform in 2010 with the release of a Christmas song, "For the First Time." The song resonated with radio and quickly climbed to No. 1 on the Christian Music Weekly (CMW) Worship chart, No. 2 on the CMW Inspirational (INSPO) chart, No. 8 on the CMW Christmas charts, and remained one of the Most Added songs on CMW's INSPO chart for five weeks. Bare released his five-song Christmas EP, Have You Heard, the following year with similar results. The title track hit No. 2 on the CMW INSPO chart and No. 5 on the CMW Christmas chart. It peaked at No. 16 on Billboard's Soft AC/Inspirational National Airplay chart and remained in the Top 20 on that chart for four weeks.
