Is Forrest Frank’s “Your Way’s Better” Song of the Year ?

When Forrest Frank wrote “Your Way’s Better,” he probably didn’t expect to see it blasted over stadium speakers while the Savannah Banana’s baseball team all danced in unison to it. But here we are.

According to Billboard, Frank’s runaway hit has officially topped the Top Gabb Music Songs chart for three months in a row — the first song to do that since Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars’ “Die With a Smile” pulled off the same feat. The chart, powered by Billboard and kid-and-teen-friendly Gabb Wireless, has become a fascinating window into what the next generation actually wants to stream — and right now, Forrest Frank is their guy.

The song’s unstoppable streak isn’t just living on phones and playlists, either. A simple, joyful dance caught fire on TikTok and Instagram, fueling millions of loops and spin-offs.

Of course, “Your Way’s Better” is doing more than going viral. As Billboard notes, it’s held the top spot on the Hot Christian Songs chart for six straight weeks, dipped briefly to No. 2, then bounced right back to No. 1 on the July 5 chart. It’s also cracked the all-genre Hot 100, peaking so far at No. 61 — proving that a laid-back worship vibe can live comfortably next to pop giants and stadium bangers.

The momentum just keeps building, too. Fresh off the song’s chart run, Reach Records favorite 1K Phew dropped his own version, giving “Your Way’s Better” a gritty hiphop fueled twist with “Your Way” freestyle.

But is it too early to crown it Song of the Year? Maybe. We’re only halfway through 2025, and there’s still plenty of time for another viral smash or surprise crossover to shake up the conversation. Still, a track that’s conquered playlists, the Billboard charts, sports stadiums, and TikTok dance feeds — all while pointing listeners back to a bigger hope — has got to be near the top of anyone’s list.

And Frank’s hot streak isn’t cooling off. Three of his tracks made the latest Gabb tally, with “Drop!” landing at No. 18 and the Connor Price collab “Up!” climbing to No. 20. That puts him side by side with everyone from Drake to Olivia Rodrigo — a rare place for a faith-driven artist to sit so comfortably.

If you’re looking for signs of what’s next for Christian music — and whether it can still break through cultural walls — Forrest Frank’s “Your Way’s Better” might just be the blueprint.
