Chart Rewind: Needtobreathe’s “Brother” Featuring Gavin DeGraw Hits #1 on Christian Chart in 2015

In August 2015, Needtobreathe reached a career milestone as their stirring anthem "Brother" (featuring Gavin DeGraw) climbed to the #1 spot on Billboard's Hot Christian Songs chart. The track, known for its emotional message of forgiveness, reconciliation, and unity, captivated audiences across both Christian and mainstream radio.
Originally released on the band's 2014 album Rivers in the Wasteland, "Brother" gained renewed momentum in 2015 when the duet version featuring Gavin DeGraw was released, blending Southern rock grit with heartfelt gospel harmonies. Its crossover appeal and powerful lyrics propelled the single to the top of the charts during the week ending August 15, 2015, where it held off enduring hits such as Hillsong United's Oceans (Where Feet May Fail) and Francesca Battistelli's Holy Spirit.
During this same period, Needtobreathe also continued to make waves with "Multiplied", another standout from Rivers in the Wasteland. The song, celebrated for its passionate worship lyrics, secured a strong position on the Christian charts and earned a Grammy nomination, further solidifying the band's influence within the genre.
With multiple hits charting simultaneously, Needtobreathe affirmed their place as one of the leading acts in contemporary Christian music, blending authenticity with artistry in a way that continues to resonate with listeners.
