There's a new, unexpected name at the top of the Christian music charts.

Drag queen Flamy Grant's album “Bible Belt Baby,” released in October, is suddenly the No. 1 album on the iTunes Christian and Gospel chart. In addition, her song "Good Day" peaked at No. 1 alongside the album for a period, Daniel Trainor reported for The Messenger.
So, what's going on? It all started when Christian recording artist and author Sean Feucht posted a tweet on Wednesday, criticizing popular Christian singer-songwriter Derek Webb for collaborating with Grant.
"If you're wondering the end goal of the deconstruction movement in the church, then look no further than former worship leader @derekwebb's new collab with a drag queen" Feucht wrote. "These are truly the last days."
Grant responded to the tweet, writing, "End goal? Baby we're just getting started," complete with a kissy-face emoji.
And get started they did. In response to the discourse, Grant wrote on Instagram, "Sean Feucht thinks hardly anyone is interested in a worship song by a drag queen.
Good Day deserves a spot on the #christianmusic charts, dontcha think?" Within hours, the mission had been accomplished. As of this moment, Good Day is the number one song. *AND* Bible Belt Baby is the number one album."
Fans immediately flooded the post with congratulatory messages.
