“Praise,” which was co-authored by Elevation Worship frontman Brown with Lake and Moore, as well as Pat Barrett, Cody Carnes and Steven Furtick, becomes just the ninth title to have dominated Hot Christian Songs for 20 frames or longer over the survey’s 21-year history.
When the song first hit No. 1 in March, Brown told Billboard, “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.”
