Caleb & John Notches Its First Christian Radio No. 1 With CAIN Collab ‘Somebody Like Me’
Written by djfrosty on October 2, 2024
Caleb & John’s “Somebody Like Me,” featuring CAIN, climbs to No. 1 on Billboard’s Christian Airplay and Christian AC Airplay charts (dated Oct. 5). It leads the former with 5.4 million audience impressions Sept. 20-26, according to Luminate.
The duo of Caleb Crino and John Secker earns its first chart-topper with its second entry. “Hallelujah Feeling” hit No. 5 on Christian AC and No. 8 on Christian AC Airplay in November 2023. CAIN claims its third leader on each list; the trio last led with “Yes He Can” in 2021.
Caleb & John co-wrote “Somebody Like Me” with Colby Wedgeworth. “We could not have picked a song with a better message to be our first No. 1,” the twosome tells Billboard. “We want the world to know that no matter who you are, and no matter what you’ve done, Jesus will change your life if you let him.”
