Christian rapper NF scores his first #1 hit on Billboard's Pop Songs radio airplay chart with "Let You Down." The track is from NF's album Perception, which became his first No. 1 on the Billboard 200.

Prior to topping Pop Songs, NF landed two entries on the Christian Airplay chart: "I'll Keep On," featuring Jeremiah Carlson, reached No. 27 in 2015, and NF hit No. 26 as featured on tobyMac's "Til the Day I Die" in 2016

In addition, five album tracks from Perception have already exceeded 7 million Spotify streams each as he regularly averages over 20 million monthly listeners and emerges among the "Top 60 Most Listened To Artists in the World" currently on the platform.

As part of his quiet culture infiltration, NF (a.k.a. Nathan Feuerstein) has fast become a streaming phenomenon due to overwhelming fan support. Thanks in part to that same fan movement, NF's third studio album, Perception, exceeded expectations to debut at No. 1 on the Billboard Top 200, marking not only the rapper's first chart topping release, but also his first release to debut in the Top 10 and cementing Perception's accomplishment as a genuine underdog victory. With more than 35 career syncs to date, including looks on ESPN, FOX, Monday Night Football, VH1 and more, NF and his Real Music movement are here to stay.
