May the Lord Studio, an independent gospel music project combining human songwriting with AI-assisted production, reached No. 1 on the U.S. iTunes Top Songs chart with “Tell me, how is Heaven” on November 3. Released in July, the song addresses grief through a conversation with someone who has died. Its rise gives the project a sales-chart milestone more than three months after release, placing it ahead of established performers in Apple’s paid-download rankings.
The studio describes its work as a combination of biblical inspiration, human songwriting and creative technology, with some voices, imagery and production elements created or supported by AI. It presents itself as a project rather than a single performer, building its identity around songs about faith, mourning and hope. Its chart success illustrates how listeners are buying music from projects that combine human writing with synthetic production. iTunes ranks song purchases, giving this achievement a different commercial significance from success on a streaming chart.
