TobyMac, a big name in Christian rap and music, had the No. 1 album in the land earlier this month with his new release Eye On It. It was the first time a Christian album has hit the top in 15 years, when LeAnn Rimes’ You Light Up My Life: Inspirational Songs hit the pinnacle. The victory says something about the popularity of TobyMac, who’s been a force in Christian music for a long while, but it also says something about the popularity of Christian Contemporary Music overall. Lots of CCM acts have made waves on the secular charts, and many secular artists are deeply spiritual. TobyMac reaching the top spot is one example of the mainstreaming of so-called Christian music happening all around us, to the point we’re listening to it at the gym and not realizing it,” says Mark Joseph, who recently wrote Rock Gets Religion: The Battle for the Soul of the Devil’s Music.
