Phil Wickham has officially landed on the Billboard Hot 100 for the first time.
His single “What an Awesome God” debuted at No. 100 this week, marking a major milestone for the Grammy-nominated worship artist. The track, a reimagining of Rich Mullins’ 1988 classic “Awesome God,” first released in April as the lead single from Wickham’s latest album Song of the Saints, which dropped in September.
After months of steady momentum on Christian radio and streaming platforms, the song finally broke through to Billboard’s all-genre chart. It’s the fourth Christian song to cross over this year, joining Forrest Frank’s “Your Ways Better” (No. 61 in May), “Lemonade” (No. 77 in August), and Brandon Lake and Jelly Roll’s “Hard Fought Hallelujah,” which peaked at No. 40 in May.
Before reaching the Hot 100, “What an Awesome God” dominated Billboard’s Hot Christian Songs chart, where it remains one of the year’s biggest worship hits.
