22x platinum rock band Skillet's cover of "O Come, O Come Emmanuel," has soared to #1 across multiple Billboard charts: Chrisitan Digital Song Sales, Holiday Digital Song Sales, Rock Digital Song Sales, Alternative Digital Song Sales and Hard Rock Digital Song Sales. The band's debut Christmas track also saw charting on Billboard's Digital Song Sales (#3), Hot Hard Rock Songs (#6), Hot Christian Songs (#12), Canadian Digital Song Sales (#12), Hot Rock & Alternative Songs (#40) and the Holiday 100 (#79) charts respectively.
Accompanied by a powerful and moving music video that garnered over 1M views in less than a week, the new version also fueled a trending, viral debate amongst the Christian community on X. With some calling the cover blasphemous or even demonic, even more have called it a powerful reminder of the hope that breaks through darkness. Popular influencers have come to the band's support, including Allie Beth Stuckey, The Daily Wire's Michael Knowles, Graham Allen, and media outlets like The Babylon Bee, CBN News, Church Leaders, Premier Christianity, Rock Feed, Blabbermouth, Yahoo! and more.
"O Come, O Come Emmanuel" caps off a massive year that included packed shows across Europe last summer and a sold-out Central and South American tour including Mexico City, Lima, Buenos Aires and Santiago, and the hugely succesful Awakening Tour with Jeremy Camp this past November.
Reinforcing their reputation as a band with a massive global impact, earlier this fall, Skillet announced their return to Europe in the spring of 2026. The spring tour will hit 23 cities, including London, Glasgow, Paris, Munich, Warsaw and Barcelona, with tickets on sale now at Skillet.com.
