For the second straight week, Lauren Daigle’s “Hold On to Me” drew ever closer to the No. 1 spot, but TobyMac’s “Help Is On the Way (Maybe Midnight)” remained strong enough to hold the top spot for a sixth straight week. (We do predict that Daigle will rise to the top next week.) The closest song to overtaking the two is We the Kingdom’s “Child of Love,” which edged up to No. 3. “Yes He Can” by Cain and “Gospel Song” by Rhett Walker round out the Top 5. Crowder’s “Good God Almighty” exited the Top 5 for the first time since March 20, while Zach Williams’s “Less Like Me” left the Top 10 for the first time since February 20.
