Drag Queen’s Album Hits #1 on iTunes Christian Charts
Protestia ^ | July 31, 2023 | staff

Drag Queen Flamy Grant (Real name Matthew Blake) is celebrating after his debut album ‘Bible Belt Baby’ hit the number #1 spot on the iTunes Christian albums chart ten months after its release.

His single ‘Good Day’ also made it to the top of the iTunes Christian singles, fueled partly by some drama between him and Sean Feucht. The prominent worship leader criticized former Caedmon’s Call singer turned cross-dressing atheist Derek Webb appearing on Blake’s album, resulting in hundreds of Blake’s followers streaming the song and elevating it to the top of the heap.

Bible Belt Baby is about the spiritual trauma Blake endured growing up in a town where his whole world was a “faith-saturated, fundamentalist, very evangelical space that didn’t exactly embrace a queer kid with cross-dressing tendencies.”

Blake, who describes himself as a “shame-slaying, soothsaying, hip-swaying heathen and infidel” collaborated with Jennifer Knapp, Grace Baldridge (Semler) and Derek Webb on this nasty little endeavor.

Despite hitting number one in the charts, this is not to suggest that Blake is a successful artist. He has many music videos and songs on his YouTube channel, and nearly all of them only have several hundred views.

Furthermore, despite being out for a year, most of his songs have under 10,000 streams on Spotify, including several under 5000 listens.

I know. What we need are milestones and a boat to take him out to sea.

I guess any song can be labeled a “Christian” song.
And that’s the problem right there.

Are they making any distinctions these days between Christian and antichristian? Or is it all lumped into “Christian”?

Another sign of Satan’s desperation to destroy as many souls as poss8ble.

The Christian church is Satan’ s #1 target. His minions re infiltrating like never before. We are likely nearing the end.

This just proves that Christians care more about God than they do about the Trans issue. I don’t get the hype.

Some trolling by iTunes for even listing this as a “Christian” song.
