NPR Highlights Christian Music’s Growing Mainstream Appeal

NPR has recently spotlighted the expanding influence of Christian music beyond its traditional audience. Artists such as Forrest Frank and Brandon Lake are leading the way in bringing the genre to a broader public, marking a significant shift from its earlier days on niche Christian radio stations.

According to the NPR report, contemporary Christian music, once confined to smaller, insular networks, is now thriving on mainstream platforms. The genre enjoyed record streaming numbers last year, experiencing a robust global growth rate over the past five years. This surge reflects the ability of these artists to reach new audiences and break into more competitive music spaces. In a notable development, for the first time in over a decade, two Christian music tracks have maintained a presence on one of the industry’s most prominent charts for several consecutive weeks.
