TobyMac’s “Help Is On the Way (Maybe Midnight)” dominated almost every metric in Christian music last week and held on to the No. 1 for the second straight week. The single’s score in our algorithm was a near-perfect 98.9 percent, and easily outpaced the rest of the Top 5: Crowder’s “Good God Almighty, For KING and Country’s “Amen,” Lauren Daigle’s “Hold On to Me” by Lauren Daigle and We the Kingdom’s “Child of Love.” This means that while there was a lot of movement further down the Christian chart, the Top 5 stayed unchanged.
