A recent NPR headline reads: “Has the Billboard Top 100 caught the Holy Ghost?”

Earlier this year, “Hard Fought Hallelujah” by Christian artist Brandon Lake spent 11 weeks on the Billboard Top 100 while “Your Way’s Better” by another Christian singer-songwriter, Forrest Frank, hit its second week, making the singles the only Christian songs to reach the US record chart since 2020.

The Billboard Hot 100, also known as simply the Hot 100, is the music industry standard record chart in the United States for songs, published weekly by Billboard magazine.
