Written by djfrosty on October 25, 2023
Micah Tyler attains his second No. 1 on Billboard’s Christian Airplay and Christian AC Airplay charts as “Praise the Lord” reaches the top of each tally dated Oct. 28.
The song lifts 2-1 on Christian Airplay as it drew 5.8 million audience impressions during the Oct. 13-19 tracking week, according to Luminate.
Concurrently, it ascends 2-1 on Christian AC Airplay, up 3% in plays.
Tyler co-authored the single with Jake Henry and Jeff Pardo.
“‘Praise the Lord’ is a song that came out of a season of trusting God in the midst of trial,” Tyler tells Billboard. “Our family has learned to give God glory even when our circumstances aren’t always what we want them to be. It’s been so special to see radio and listeners embracing this song and praising God ‘no matter what is gonna come’ our way.’ ”
For the Nashville-based Tyler — he’s originally from Buna, Texas — “Praise the Lord” is his second Christian Airplay chart-topper among seven top 10s. It follows “I See Grace,” which became his first leader this March, dominating for five weeks.
Before that, “Walking Free” peaked at No. 6 in March 2022. His rookie entry, “Never Been a Moment,” hit No. 2 in April 2017, followed by “Different” (No. 6, December 2017); “Even Then” (No. 3, February 2019); and “Amen” (No. 2, June 2020).
On Christian AC Airplay, Tyler has notched his two No. 1s among eight top 10s. He first led with “Even Then” for a week in December 2018.
The 40-year-old artist is currently touring with Matthew West on his My Story Your Glory Tour, which stops in Clarksville, Tenn., on Oct. 28.
