Contemporary Christian supergroup MercyMe makes it three weeks at the top of the Billboard Christian Songs chart with Move. Of course, for me, the real story is Matthew West’s rising up to #3 with Strong Enough. This is Matthew’s second Top 10 hit from The Story of Your Life; My Own Little World also cracked the Top 10 last year. It is his highest-charting single since The Motions went to #1 in 2009. This week welcomes five new...

Contemporary Christian supergroup MercyMe holds onto #1 for a second week with Move. I’m excited because Matthew West moves up to #4 with Strong Enough, from his spectacular The Story of Your Life CD. I love Matthew; let’s go! (And Casting Crowns just won’t quit! Former #1 hit Glorious Day actually reverses direction and moves up 9-7 this week, and Courageous is already Top 20! Wow!) Debuts this week come from Mandisa...

Greatest Gainer and new to the Top 10 is Hold Me by Jamie Grace featuring TobyMac, a very real contender for #1. (She’ll be the third female artist to go to #1...

Contemporary Christian superstar Jeremy Camp claims another #1 hit on the Billboard Top Christian Songs chart as The Way moves up a notch to #1; it is his follow-up to the hit Jesus Saves. New to the Top 50 are Ashes Remain, also one of my personal faves, at (Everything Good, #28), Nichole Nordeman and Amy Grant (I’m With You, #33), and Mat Kearney (pictured, Down, #40). 1.

Casting Crowns and Glorious Day (Living He Loved Me) tumbles 1-5 this week, replaced at #1 by the #1 song two weeks ago, You Love Me Anyway by Sidewalk Prophets.
