A New

No. 1

‘Raised’

“Raise a Hallelujah” by

worship music collective

Bethel Music, Jonathan

David Helser (above,

right) and Melissa Helser

(above, left) rises 2-1 on

Christian Airplay, up 9%

to 12.2 million audience

impressions, according to

Nielsen Music.

All three acts earn their

first Christian Airplay

leader, with the husband-

and-wife team of the

Helsers having been part

of Bethel Music since 2014.

The couple cowrote the

song with Molly Skaggs

and Jake Stevens for

Jaxon Taylor, son of Bethel

Music CEO Joel Taylor,

whose life was threatened

by an E. coli infection

from which he has since

recovered. “When we wrote

this song, it was simply a

prayer for God to heal a

little boy who was in a fight

for his life,” says Jonathan.

“We would have never

imagined that this song

would one day become an

anthem for so many.”

Also on Christian Airplay,

Lauren Daigle lands her

11th top 10 as “Rescue” lifts

11-8 (8.4 million, up 10%).

Among women, Daigle’s

sum trails only Mandisa’s

(13 top 10s) and Francesca

Battistelli’s (12); Chris

Tomlin leads all artists with

27 top 10s.

Plus, Kirk Franklin’s

“Love Theory” leads the

Hot Gospel Songs chart for

a 29th week, tying for the

fourth-longest reign in the

tally’s history with James

Fortune & FIYA’s “I Trust

You” (2008-09). Marvin

Sapp’s “Never Would Have

Made It” is the longevity

leader with 46 weeks at

No. 1 in 2007-08, followed

by Franklin’s “Wanna

Be Happy?” (45 weeks,

2015-16). —Jim Asker
