Singer-songwriter Forrest Frank hits the top five with his maiden entry on Billboard’s Top Christian Albums chart.
The Houston native and Baylor University graduate’s four-song EP God Is Good enters the April 27-dated chart at No. 5. Released April 12, it earned 4,000 equivalent album units in the U.S. in the week ending April 18, according to Luminate.
The 28-year-old — who is also in the “Sunday Best” duo Surfaces — initially received traction by posting videos on social media. He boasts over 500,000 followers on TikTok and 2 million on Instagram.
The EP’s “Good Day,” Frank’s first single promoted to Christian radio, climbs 23-19 for a new high on the Christian Airplay chart, up 10% to 1.4 million audience impressions. On Christian AC Airplay, it lifts 29-24 (up 17% in plays).
On the streaming-, airplay- and sales-based Hot Christian Songs survey, “Good Day” ranks at No. 3, after hitting No. 2 in March. It drew 2.7 million streams (up 8%) and sold 1,000, as it tops Christian Digital Song Sales for an 11th week.
Also on Hot Christian Songs, Frank’s “Up!,” with Connor Price, ranks at No. 10, after reaching No. 8, marking Frank’s other top 10 to date. (The song is not on God Is Good.)
Concurrently, the three additional tracks on God Is Good chart on Hot Christian Songs: the title track, with Caleb Gordon, a debut at No. 19; “Always” (new No. 22 high); and “Low Key” (new No. 36 best).
Frank is currently working on an LP expected to be released this year.
Armstrong’s Third No. 1
Jor’Dan Armstrong earns his third total and consecutive Gospel Airplay chart-topper with “You.”
The Atlanta-based artist, originally from Baton Rouge, La., previously led with his duet with Erica Campbell, “You,” for three weeks in December 2022 and “My God” for two frames beginning December 2021.
Armstrong logged his first of five Gospel Airplay entries in 2014 as featured on Uncle Reece’s “I Can’t Help Myself,” which hit No. 21 that June. He followed with “So Much Luv,” which reached No. 19 in October 2017.
