Elevation Worship’s “Praise,” featuring Brandon Lake, Chris Brown and Chandler Moore, ascends to No. 1 on Billboard’s Christian Airplay chart dated May 25.
During the May 10-16 tracking week, the song drew 6.2 million audience impressions, according to Luminate.
Elevation Worship frontman Brown co-wrote the song with Lake, Moore, Pat Barrett, Cody Carnes and Steven Furtick.
The Charlotte, N.C.-based Elevation Worship rolls up its fourth Christian Airplay chart-topper. It’s Lake’s third and the first each for Brown (in an individually credited role) and Moore.
“Praise” dominates the multimetric Hot Christian Songs tally for an 11th week, having become the collective’s third leader on the list. Brown told Billboard upon the song’s coronation in March, “It is such an honor to be No. 1 again. We’re blown away by what God has done with ‘Praise,’ and we’re thankful for everyone who has streamed, tuned in and shared the song. We hope it is a great reminder of all the reasons to praise God not just for what He’s done, but for who He is.”
In addition to its airplay, “Praise” collected 3 million official U.S. streams and sold 1,000 downloads May 10-16.
Concurrently, the single leads the Christian AC Airplay chart for a second frame.

On Gospel Airplay, VaShawn Mitchell’s “See the Goodness,” featuring Donnie McClurkin, rises to No. 1.

Mitchell logged his first Gospel Airplay entry as featured on GMWA Mass Choir’s No. 8-peaking “Only a Test,” which began his tally of seven top 10s to date, in 2005.
McClurkin, from Copiague on Long Island, N.Y., adds his third Gospel Airplay chart-topper among seven top 10s. His debut entry, “I Call You Faithful,” became his first No. 1, for seven weeks, in 2005. He led again with “I Need You” for a week in 2017.
