Elevation Worship’s ‘Can You Imagine’ Arrives at No. 1 on Top Christian Albums Chart

Elevation Worship, the music collective based in Charlotte, N.C., earns its seventh No. 1 on Billboard’s Top Christian Albums chart as its new set, Can You Imagine?, blasts in atop the June 3-dated tally.

Released May 19, the LP earned 8,000 equivalent album units through May 25, according to Luminate.

“We’re blown away by the response to our new album and how it’s pointing people to Jesus,” Chris Brown, the group’s frontman, tells Billboard. “It’s reminding us that He is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine in and through our lives.”

Concurrently, the album’s “More Than Able,” featuring Chandler Moore and Tiffany Hudson, surges 5-1 on the multimetric Hot Gospel Songs chart. On Hot Christian Songs, it flies 21-7. It drew 2 million official streams (up 102%).

“Able” gives Elevation Worship its fourth No. 1 on Hot Gospel Songs and its 12th top 10 on Hot Christian Songs.

For Moore, who is also a member of Maverick City Music, it’s his third No. 1 on Hot Gospel Songs. On Hot Christian Songs, it marks his third top 10.

Hudson, a member of Elevation Worship, earns her first leader and top 10 as a billed artist on the lists, respectively.

“Able” was penned by Ben Fielding, Steven Furtick, Chandler Moore and Naomi Raine.

Can You Imagine?, which includes eight tracks, was produced by Brown and Furtick. The LP was recorded in front of a live audience at Elevation Church in Charlotte Jan. 13.

The new set follows Elevation Worship’s Live at the Loft, which arrived at its No. 24 peak on Top Christian Albums in September 2022, and Lion, which started at its No. 2 best that March. Before that, Elevation Worship’s collaboration with Maverick City Music, Old Church Basement, arrived atop the Top Christian Albums and Top Gospel Albums chart in May 2021. It dominated the former for five weeks and the latter for 17 frames.
