Louder Than The Music

February proved to be one of the most dynamic months of the year so far on the LTTM Christian Music Charts. With complete turnover at the top of both the Singles and Albums rankings, the month highlighted a thriving release cycle, strong listener engagement, and a healthy balance between emerging voices and established ministries.

What made February especially compelling was not just the movement at No. 1 — but the depth and diversity across the Albums chart, which showcased multiple expressions of Christian music ministry.

Singles Chart: Discovery Driving the Momentum

The Singles chart in February was defined by rapid movement. Each week produced a brand-new No. 1, signaling an audience that is actively discovering and embracing fresh music.

The month opened on 2 February with “NAH UH” by Zane Walls, a high-energy release that made an immediate impact and set the tone for a fast-moving month.

Momentum continued on 9 February as Belinda Song climbed to the summit with “Never Give Up.” The single showcases her signature blend of pop and contemporary balladry, wrapped in an uplifting, cinematic feel. The chorus lands with genuine emotional power, while her smooth, elegant vocal delivery adds warmth and depth throughout.

Mid-month brought another shift when Micah Christopher’s “White Knuckles” surged to No. 1 on 16 February. Written during a season of learning to release control, the song pairs a distinctive guitar tone with unmistakable vocals, creating one of February’s most authentic and artistically engaging singles.

Closing the month, established worship collective Rend Collective secured the 23 February No. 1 with “Do It All Alone,” positioning themselves strongly heading into March.

LTTM Christian Music Album Chart

February 2026 proved to be a vibrant month for the LTTM Christian Music Album Chart, with four different albums reaching No. 1 in as many weeks. The turnover highlighted a competitive landscape and a listener base eager for both fresh releases and established voices.

The month opened with Psalms of David’s Heart Surgery, Vol. 2, an album rooted in raw honesty, vulnerability, and themes of repentance and restoration. Tracks like “Heart Surgery (Psalm 51)”, “School”, and “Overwhelmed” offered deeply reflective moments, while “Job Song :(” provided an emotional and theological peak, affirming enduring faith in difficult seasons. The album set a high bar for emotional depth and quickly became a standout release.

The following week, Gaither Vocal Band’s How Sweet It Is reached the summit, bringing classic Southern gospel harmonies and polished arrangements to the chart. Their presence illustrated the enduring appeal of legacy acts and the multi-generational reach of the LTTM audience.

Mid-month, Life Church Worship’s El Camino took the No. 1 spot, representing the modern worship movement with congregational-friendly songwriting and contemporary production. The album’s accessible sound offered a strong contrast to both Psalms of David’s introspective style and the traditional gospel of the Gaither Vocal Band.

Closing the month, Elan Brio’s Solid Frequencies marked one of the most exciting emerging entries on the chart. With fresh energy and distinctive sonic identity, the album demonstrated that February was not only about established voices but also about new talent making an immediate impact.

Overall, February’s Albums chart reflected a broad and engaged listener base, spanning raw worship, traditional gospel, modern church worship, and emerging contemporary music. The high turnover at No. 1 signaled a competitive, discovery-driven month, with no single release dominating long-term, but several leaving a strong impression.

As March approaches, the stage is set for continued momentum and fresh discoveries, keeping the LTTM Christian Album Chart dynamic, diverse, and deeply engaging.
