Elevation Worship and Chandler Moore reach Billboard Hot 100

Elevation Worship and Chandler Moore debuted at No. 91 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart dated September 19 with their collaboration "God I'm Just Grateful," marking the first Hot 100 appearance for both artists. The song is currently No. 1 on Hot Christian Songs, where it has spent four consecutive weeks at the top before crossing onto Billboard's all-genre ranking of the biggest songs in the country. Historically, the crossover from Christian charts to the Hot 100 has been rare. Billboard reported in May 2025 that only 11 Christian songs since 2013 had reached the Hot 100 after excluding holiday records and rap crossovers, with Hillsong UNITED's "Oceans" being a notable worship-band example. Brandon Lake and Forrest Frank both broke through in 2025 as Christian music began appearing on the chart more frequently. For Elevation Worship, the achievement comes after Billboard named them Top Christian Artist of 2024 and their song "Praise" spent more than 25 weeks at No. 1 on Hot Christian Songs, eventually peaking at No. 5 on the Bubbling Under chart. For Moore, the chart success arrives during a personal transition period following his departure from Maverick City Music in October.
