This past weekend, prior to taking the stage at a jam-packed Bridgestone Arena, 2x GRAMMY Award winner and multi-platinum selling artist Lauren Daigle was presented with plaques honoring recent RIAA Certifications. Her 2018 record breaking album, Look Up Child, was officially certified 2x Platinum. The breakthrough album debuted at No. 3 on the Billboard Top 200 albums chart and solidified Daigle’s position as a mainstay on the charts. She also received a plaque honoring the Gold Certification of her single, “Thank God I Do,” which is the lead single from Daigle’s 2023 self-titled album. It marks her 6th Billboard No. 1, making her the first artist to have two singles top the Top Christian Songs chart for more than 20 weeks.
