Tobymac & Zach Williams Earn RIAA Gold for "Cornerstone"

On November 6, 2025, the collaborative single "Cornerstone" by Christian music artists Tobymac and Zach Williams was certified Gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). The certification recognizes 500,000 certified units in the United States. Released on August 19, 2022, the track is featured on Tobymac's album Life After Death and was issued by Forefront Records and Capitol CMG.

Tobymac, born Toby McKeehan, has been a prominent figure in Christian music for decades, first gaining fame as a member of the influential rap and rock trio dc Talk. Since launching a successful solo career with the album Momentum in 2001, he has released a steady stream of gold-selling projects that blend pop, rock, and hip-hop earning multiple Grammy and Dove Awards. Several of his albums have topped the Billboard Christian charts, with 2012's Eye on It reaching No. 1 on the all-genre Billboard 200 chart.

The album Life After Death was a significant and personal release for Tobymac, created in the years following the 2019 death of his son, Truett McKeehan. The project became his sixth consecutive studio LP to hit number one on the Top Christian Albums chart and explores themes of faith through grief. "Cornerstone" stands as a key collaboration from the record, pairing Tobymac's distinct style with the voice of fellow Grammy-winning artist Zach Williams.
