He sold more than any other track that particular week even with a limited three-and-a-half day availability from Monday afternoon through Thursday night. His performance of the holiday classic “Mary Did You Know” also hit #1 on the iTunes Overall Top Songs Chart, making Jordan and Cassadee Pope the only artists from The Voice to notch three #1s in their respective seasons.
Continuing this hot streak, both “Great Is Thy Faithfulness” and “Hallelujah” reached #1 on Billboard’s Hot Christian Songs Chart, making him “the first artist to replace himself at #1 on the chart.”
