Forrest Frank secures his second No. 1 on Billboard’s Hot Christian Songs chart as “Jesus Is Alive!” vaults 16 spots to the top of the list dated May 30, led by 3 million official U.S. streams (up 199%) in the May 15-21 tracking week, according to Luminate. The song is his 70th entry on the ranking and 10th top 10.

Frank joins rare company with the song’s two-week sprint to the summit. In the modern era, dating to the chart’s 2012 shift to a multimetric methodology, only three other songs have reached the lead that quickly: Reba McEntire and Lauren Daigle’s “Back to God” in 2017 and MercyMe’s “I Can Only Imagine” and Daigle’s “You Say” in 2018 (the latter on its way to a record 132-week domination).
