âOâLordâ Is Fifth Song From Debut Album To Hit Top 5
NASHVILLE, TN. (January 26, 2018) Â Centricity Music artist Lauren Daigleâs âOâLordâ is Christian musicâs Number 1 song in the country, making it the third No. 1 single from her RIAA-certified Gold, debut album, How Can It Be. The song not only hit No. 1 on the Mediabase Christian Audience Chart, but also the Mediabase AC Published and Nielsen NCA and AC Monitored charts.
âWow! Five singles in. Who would have known? Iâm so grateful that people are still connecting with these songs,â Daigle reflected. ââOâLordâ is a songâ that is for the darkest times. If it has brought any hope, then it has served its purpose. Thank you to my team, the radio programmers, and the listeners for making space in their hearts and giving âOâLordâ a chance.â
The response to âOâLordâ reflects the mass impact Daigleâs music has had on listeners since she released her first EP in 2014. Each of her radio singles, âHow Can It Be,â âFirst,â âTrust In You,â âCome Alive (Dry Bones),â and âOâLord,â earned Top 5 status, with âFirst,â âTrust In You,â and, now, âOâLordâ reaching the No. 1 spot.
This milestone follows recent accolades for Daigle. At the end of last year she won the 2017 American Music Award for Favorite Contemporary/Inspirational Artist and her Christmas album Behold stood four weeks at No. 1 on Billboardâs Christian Albums chart, one year after its release.
âOâLordâ marks another great chapter for the singer-songwriter, who has garnered Grammy nominations, Billboard Awards, Dove Awards, Forbes â30 Under 30â listings, among other forms of acclaim. How Can It Be currently stands at No. 2 on the Billboard chart, three years after its debut.
