NASHVILLE, TENN. (November 19, 2024) — GRAMMY®-Award Winning singer/songwriter Brandon Lake has achieved yet another milestone with his brand new hit “Hard Fought Hallelujah.” The song debuted as #1 on the Christian/Gospel Songs Chart, #1 on the Christian/Gospel On-Demand Audio Streaming and Christian/Gospel On-Demand Overall Streaming charts, as well as #1 on the All-genre Digital Song Sales chart. 
 
“Hard Fought Hallelujah” has already garnered 6.83M total on-demand streams, beating Lake’s own record previously set by “That’s Who I Praise” for the largest debut streaming week for a single released by a Christian genre artist. 
Continuing the celebration, Lake’s viral hit "That’s Who I Praise” officially reached #1 on the Billboard AC chart and is #1 for a second week on the Mediabase Audience chart. This marks Lake’s fourth single to hit #1 in a record amount of time. 
 
“That’s Who I Praise” only took 12 weeks to get to #1 at Mediabase Christian Impressions chart, which is the second fastest song to hit #1 this year behind “Praise” from Elevation featuring Lake. The hit has already spent seven weeks in the Top 10 in all four charts.
 
“I am blown away by the response this song has received in such a short time,” says Lake. “It's insane to see what God can do with just one song. My prayer is that this song reminds everyone who our God isa ‘mountain movin', body raising, breaker of chains!’”
 
Lake adds seven GRAMMY®-Award nominations to his resume as he picks up two more this year for Best Contemporary Christian Music Performance/Song for “Praise” and Best Contemporary Christian Music Album for “Coat of Many Colors.”

About Brandon Lake:
Brandon Lake is a GRAMMY® Award-winning artist and songwriter from Charleston, South Carolina. As a worship leader for gatherings around the nation, his purpose is to call followers of Jesus into a posture of freedom and confidence — creating space to boldly declare truth and expect great things. Most recently, his song, “Gratitude,” hit number one on the Mediabase Impressions Chart as of 2023. Having spent a number of years releasing songs with Elevation Worship as well as Maverick City Music, he has taken home five GRAMMY® awards over the course of his professional music career, and he has been nominated for a total of ten. At the 2023 GRAMMY® Awards, he was nominated within five categories and received the following four awards: “Best Gospel Performance/Song” for “Kingdom” and “Best Contemporary Christian Music Performance/Song” for “Fear is Not My Future,” as well as “Best Gospel Album” for Kingdom Book One Deluxe and “Best Contemporary Christian Music Album” for Breathe. In 2022, he was awarded his first GRAMMY® for “Best Contemporary Christian Music Album,” in recognition of the record, Old Church Basement. The 2021 GMA Dove Awards named Lake “Songwriter of the Year,” and at the same event, he was awarded “Worship Recorded Song of the Year” for the groundbreaking song, “Graves Into Gardens.” “This is a Move,” co-written with Tasha Cobbs Leonard, won a 2019 GMA Dove Award for “Gospel Worship Recorded Song of the Year,” and it was also nominated for a 2020 GRAMMY® Award. Lake’s full-length albums include HELP!, which serves as a declaration of truth and a “me too” in response to anyone who struggles with mental health — while his album, House of Miracles, was released in 2020 with a desire for the songs to become beacons of hope in homes across the world. Lake’s follow-up album COAT OF MANY COLORS has gone on to be one of the biggest releases in the genre of 2023, posting over 6M streams in its first week, and debuting at #1 on the Christian & Gospel Albums Billboard Chart. Its debut single PRAISE YOU ANYWHERE garnered nearly 2M streams in its first week, went #1 at radio for 8 weeks, and hit 40M streams in less than 6 months. Believing that people have so much more inside of them than they think possible, Lake longs to see Christians “live free and be everything that God has called them to be.”
