MUSIC-Tori Kelly – Never Alone Ft. Kirk Franklin

Tori Kelly's "Never Alone," featuring Kirk Franklin, flies in at No. 2 on Billboard's Hot Gospel Songs chart and No. 18 on Hot Christian Songs. (Both charts, dated Sept. 8, combine streaming, airplay and sales data.) Co-penned by Kelly and Franklin, the song is the first single from Kelly's first faith-based set, Hiding Place, due Sept. 14.

"Alone" marks Kelly's second Hot Gospel Songs appearance and second top 10. "Help Us to Love," featuring the HamilTones, was the first track to preview her new album. It debuted and peaked at No. 10 on the April 14-dated chart (and re-enters at No. 15 this week for its first appearance since May).

For gospel music star Franklin, "Alone" marks his record-extending 13th Hot Gospel Songs top 10. Marvin Sapp is second with 11.
