Chart Success
The song might have been too strong for the general market. Like almost all the other singles from the album, it topped the Christian radio chart. However, the secular market was not as welcoming. "Lead Me On" spent only two weeks on the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at #96. In the United Kingdom, the single fared slightly better, peaking at #89. The poor mainstream commercial reception of the album would later cause Grant to abandon the serious side on her next album, 1991's Heart In Motion, and instead go for a pop/contemporary sound that would make her a bona fide pop artist.
