Brandon Lake Tops Charts With Latest Hit
By Movieguide® Contributor
Christian artist Brandon Lake is topping charts and making history.
“GRAMMY®-Award Winning singer/songwriter Brandon Lake has achieved yet another milestone with his brand-new hit ‘Hard Fought Hallelujah,'” a press release announced. “The song debuted as #1 on the Christian/Gospel Songs Chart, #1 on the Christian/Gospel On-Demand Audio Streaming and Christian/Gospel On-Demand Overall Streaming charts, as well as #1 on the All-genre Digital Song Sales chart.”
“HARD FOUGHT HALLELUJAH #1 ON ALL GENRES?! ??? THANK YOU FAM,” Lake posted.
Since its release on Nov. 8, “Hard Fought Hallelujah” has already reached 7 million official U.S. streams, according to Billboard. “This marks Lake’s fourth single to hit #1 in a record amount of time,” the press release noted.
“I am blown away by the response this song has received in such a short time,” said Lake. “It’s insane to see what God can do with just one song. My prayer is that this song reminds everyone who our God is — a ‘mountain movin’, body raising, breaker of chains!’”
The singer recently shared a behind-the-scenes video of the song’s creation. Pastor Steven Furtick films as the team listens to the song in the studio.
“The day Hard Fought Hallelujah was born,” Lake captioned the post. “What an honor to have written this alongside some of my most gifted friends & mentors.”
Despite his massive success, Lake keeps his focus on pleasing God alone.
“I feel like too many people are making records full of singles trying to make it on the radio,” he said. “When your goal is mass consumption, you lose sight of ‘The One.’”
Instead, Lake focuses on making music that is authentic to himself and allows God to work through him as His hand guides the project.
