Kid Rock… the Christian artist? As crazy as that might sound, Robert Ritchie (A.K.A. Kid Rock) can now say that he has a No. 1 hit song on Billboard’s Hot Christian Songs chart. His cover of Cody Johnson’s 2022 hit, “Til’ You Can’t,” featuring a new verse about giving your life to Jesus, debuted at the very top of the chart, with over 3.7 million streams and 51,000 units sold. You might recall that Kid Rock sort of caught everyone off guard with the song when he played his version for the very first time at the Hondo Rodeo Fest, dedicating the performance to the late Charlie Kirk. But the song really took off when he performed it again at Turning Point USA’s “All-American” Halftime Show. After being introduced to the stage by his legal name, representing the notion that he’s changed from the person he was when the Kid Rock moniker began, the artist shared that he woke up one morning and felt called to add one more verse to the song that Cody Johnson released in 2022: “I awoke one Sunday morning all alone with this song stuck in my head, and in that moment, something or someone spoke to me. They said there was still a verse that needed to be written for this song. And to get up and write it down.”  The verse Bob added at the end, which effectively let it be included in the Hot Christian Songs chart (and provided Kid Rock with a writing credit), goes like this: “There’s a book that is sitting in your house somewhere That could use some dusting off There’s a man that died for all our sins, hanging on the cross You can give your life to Jesus, and he’ll give you a second chance ‘Til you can’t” Soon after the halftime show performance, Kid Rock announced that he already had a studio recording of the song ready to go. He released it on February 9, the day after the Super Bowl, and it appears the track rode the momentum of the moment to get to the No. 1 spot. Ahead of the song’s release, Kid Rock revealed that he was given the blessing of both Cody Johnson and the songwriters – Ben Stennis and Matt Rogers – to record his version of their song that was already a No. 1 hit on the Hot Country Songs chart: “A big thank you to Cody Johnson and the songwriters Ben Stennis and Matt Rogers for giving me their blessing to record and release it. It really is one of the best written songs I have heard in a long time and NOTHING is more powerful than a great song in my book!” If you enjoyed our version of "Til Ya Can’t” on The TPUSA All American Halftime – Our studio recording of it will be available to purchase or stream at midnight tonight! A big thank you to @codyjohnson and the songwriters Ben Stennis and Matt Rogers for giving me there blessing… pic.twitter.com/KzKUfKHebh — KidRock (@KidRock) February 9, 2026 Powerful song indeed. Just a slight addition to “Til’ You Can’t” made it a chart topper once again, and in an entirely different category. His cover didn’t just have success on the Hot Christian Songs chart. Kid Rock’s rendition of “Til’ You Can’t” debuted at No. 9 on the Hot Rock & Alternative Songs chart, No. 14 on Hot Country Songs, and No. 69 on the Billboard Hot 100. Clearly the reimagined track landed with a lot of different people.
