Faith-Based Anthems Soar: Brandon Lake and Forrest Frank Break into Billboard’s Hot 100

In a remarkable achievement, Christian music artists Brandon Lake and Forrest Frank have broken into Billboard’s prestigious Hot 100 chart, a feat not seen in over a decade. Lake’s “Hard Fought Hallelujah” (feat. Jelly Roll) currently ranks No. 44, while Frank’s “Your Way’s Better” comes in at No. 62. This milestone marks a significant moment for Christian music, demonstrating its growing influence and appeal beyond traditional genres.

The last time multiple Christian songs appeared on the Hot 100 was in 2014, with artists like Carrie Underwood and Hillsong UNITED making the list. Lake and Frank’s success can be attributed to their strong social media presence, particularly on TikTok, where their music has resonated with a wide audience. Both artists are well-established in the Christian music scene, with numerous entries on the Hot Christian Songs chart.

This breakthrough highlights the surging popularity of Christian music, with Billboard noting that faith-based anthems are striking a powerful chord in today’s music landscape. As Lake and Frank continue to make waves, other Christian artists, such as Elevation Worship, are also poised to enter the Hot 100 with their inspiring music.
