ELEVATION RHYTHM is celebrating a career milestone as its hit song, "WASHED," reaches No. 1 across Christian radio, marking the collective's first chart-topping success on both the Billboard and Mediabase charts.
After reaching No. 1 last week on the Mediabase Christian AC and Christian Audience (Impressions) charts, "WASHED" now claims the top spot on Billboard's Christian Airplay, Christian AC Airplay, and Hot Christian Songs charts, while also earning the distinction as this week's greatest gainer on the Christian AC chart. This song remains in the Top 20 on Song Select and has 14 million views on YouTube.
The achievement marks the group's first No. 1 on Billboard's Hot Christian Songs chart and becomes the collective's highest-charting single to date, following 2024's "GOODBYE YESTERDAY," which peaked at No. 5.
"Honestly, it makes us grateful more than anything," Holiday recently shared with Billboard. "We did not begin with a strategy to chase a No. 1; we began as a family of young people who loved Jesus, loved the Church and wanted to use what was in our hands to serve people. To see these songs travel beyond the rooms where they were first written is humbling. It feels like confirmation that people are still hungry for songs that are honest, full of faith and made for real life. The milestone is meaningful, but it is not the destination."
The milestone arrives just ahead of the release of ELEVATION RHYTHM's new live album, WASHED, releasing next week, July 17. Named after the chart-topping anthem, the project captures a generation pursuing hope, freedom, and a faith that extends beyond tradition into a genuine relationship with Jesus.
As the youth expression of Elevation Church, ELEVATION RHYTHM has continued to connect with young people worldwide through worship anthems that blend bold faith with authentic storytelling. The success of "WASHED" marks another defining moment for the collective as they continue building momentum heading into the release of their newest project. In addition to the new album, the upcoming WASHED Tour was announced last month. The WASHED Tour invites attendees into a multi-day experience featuring activities such as RHYTHM Run Clubs and Bible studies, culminating in two unforgettable nights of worship in each city.
