Breakout Christian artist Josiah Queen has officially earned his first-ever entry on the Billboard Hot 100 with his viral hit “Dusty Bibles.”
The Billboard Hot 100 ranks the 100 most popular songs in the United States each week based on streaming, sales, and radio airplay. With “Dusty Bibles” debuting at No. 92, Queen joins an elite list of faith-based artists making a significant mark on mainstream charts this year.
2025 has proven to be a historic year for Christian music crossover success, with five different Christian songs charting on the Hot 100 — a rare occurrence. Earlier entries include Brandon Lake and Jelly Roll’s “Hard Fought Hallelujah” (No. 40), Forrest Frank’s “Your Way’s Better” (No. 61) and “Lemonade” (No. 77), and Phil Wickham’s “What an Awesome God” (No. 96). Before this wave, the last major Christian entry came from Lauren Daigle’s multi-platinum hit “You Say” in 2019.
Beyond his Hot 100 debut, “Dusty Bibles” continues its strong performance on Christian charts — reclaiming its peak at No. 3 on Hot Christian Songs and climbing to No. 18 on Christian Airplay, signaling growing radio support and listener demand.
The success of “Dusty Bibles” underscores a renewed mainstream embrace of faith-driven music, with Josiah Queen standing at the forefront of this exciting cultural moment.
