Nashville, TN — December 15, 2025 — GRAMMY-nominated, GMA Dove Award-winning artist FORREST FRANK has released the new single, “THANKFUL" coinciding with massive demand for his upcoming The Jesus Generation Tour — with over 470K tickets sold and several dates already sold out, including Detroit, Los Angeles, Dallas, Nashville, Phoenix and other key markets.
 
Booked by UTA and presented by TPR the 29-city run in summer 2026 with special guests Tori Kelly, Cory Asbury, and The Figs — marks the biggest headlining cycle of his career and follows FRANK'S completely sold-out Child of God Tour Part 2 and will feature immersive in-the-round staging, several outdoor venues, and a lineup where fans will be welcomed by The Figs, led into worship with Cory Asbury, and energized by Tori Kelly before FRANK takes the stage. For tour details, please visit ForrestFrank.com.

Closing out 2025 also sees FRANK setting a new benchmark for the most weeks at No. 1 on Billboard’s Top Christian Albums chart. Additionally, FRANK'S breakout crossover hit “YOUR WAY'S BETTER" — certified RIAA Gold and one of only a handful of Christian songs to enter the Billboard Hot 100 in recent years — emerged as one of Google's top "hum to search" tracks of 2025.

2025 BILLBOARD Year-End Chart Highlights:

- FRANK placed more songs on Billboard's Hot Christian Songs charts - 39 - the most of any act. 11 of them also became Top 10 hits

- CHILD OF GOD closed the year as the No. 1 Top Christian Album, with CHILD OF GOD II finishing close behind at No. 2

- “YOUR WAY'S BETTER” ended the year as the No. 1 Hot Christian Songs

FRANK capped 2024 as a first-time GRAMMY nominee with his RIAA Gold-certified album CHILD OF GOD, the year’s best-selling Christian album. In 2025 he continued the momentum with CHILD OF GOD II.
 
Despite overcoming a serious back injury this summer, FRANK'S creative output soared, with multiple viral tracks released throughout the year including “GOD’S GOT MY BACK,” “LEMONADE” (with THE FIGS), “SELAH,” “THE ROCK” (with CROWDER), and “MISUNDERSTOOD” (with CORY ASBURY). These, plus 21 more songs, appeared on September’s CHILD OF GOD II (BACK TO BACK), and were followed by “JESUS IS COMING BACK SOON” with Josiah Queen.

In late 2025, Frank also earned multiple GMA Dove Awards — including Artist of the Year — and received two Grammy nominations for Best Contemporary Christian Music Performance/Song (“YOUR WAY'S BETTER”) and Best Contemporary Christian Music Album (CHILD OF GOD II).
 
At radio, FRANK continues to make an undeniable impact. His breakout single “YOUR WAY'S BETTER” climbed to #3 on both Billboard’s Christian AC and Christian Airplay charts, as well as Mediabase’s Christian AC and Christian Impressions charts—spending an impressive 37 weeks on the Christian radio charts. Before the holiday format transition, his follow-up single “Lemonade” featuring The Figs gained traction with 31 early station adds and reached #31 on Mediabase Christian AC. Since the release of “GOOD DAY” in February 2024, FRANK’s music has amassed more than 846 million total airplay impressions across all formats, underscoring his growing influence and sustained listener connection at Christian radio.
 
ABOUT FORREST FRANK:
FORREST FRANK, award-winning singer, songwriter, producer and multi-instrumentalist, approaches life and music with gratitude and intent. This mindset underscores his music, and it’s why his GRAMMY-nominated, RIAA GOLD-Certified album CHILD OF GOD was the best-selling Christian album of 2024, and his latest, CHILD OF GOD II, is also a best-seller. Working independently in 2021, Frank broke through with “NO LONGER BOUND” (feat. Hulvey), tallying more than 60 million Spotify streams. In 2023, his debut album CHILD OF GOD soared to stratospheric heights, capturing his first GRAMMY nomination, a Billboard Music Award (BBMA) finalist spot, a #1 on the iTunes Overall Top Albums Chart, Dove Award nomination and tallied over 1 billion global streams. Billboard named him the #1 Top New Christian Artist of 2023. In Fall 2024, he released the CHILD OF GOD (DELUXE) album. The single “GOOD DAY” became a Christian radio hit, was named a BBMA finalist and won a Dove Award for Pop/Contemporary Recorded Song of the Year, with Frank winning for “New Artist of the Year.” The project also included the RIAA Gold-certified, GRAMMY-nominated and DOVE-Award winning track “YOUR WAY’S BETTER,” which experienced explosive viral growth and rose to a BILLBOARD Top 100 hit, driven by the viral dance that took the internet by storm. In May 2025, Frank wrapped his completely sold out “CHILD OF GOD TOUR Part 2,” and released his follow-up album, CHILD OF GOD II, featuring popular songs “NOTHING ELSE (with Thomas Rhett),” “NO L’s” and “AMEN.” This summer, after breaking his back in a freak accident, he released several new viral tracks including “GOD’S GOT MY BACK,” “LEMONADE” with The Figs, “SELAH,” “THE ROCK” with Crowder and "MISUNDERSTOOD" with Cory Asbury. These tracks plus 21 more are on the deluxe album, CHILD OF GOD II (BACK TO BACK). As Frank currently finds himself at the center of the music world with more recent GRAMMY and Dove-Award nods and a massive tour looming, he continues to cling to a core message. “My whole brand was built around God, and I’m not going to change that—ever,” he affirms.
