Chris Tomlin’s Our God continues to “lord” it over the Christian charts as it racks up an impressive two months at the top of Billboard’s Hot Christian Songs chart. The Top 10 remain unchanged, but it looks like a changing of the guard may – finally! – be taking place as Newsboys, under new vocalist Michael Tait, rise up two to #3 with Born Again, and Sanctus Real right behind them with Lead Me. Only two new debuts on the chart this week: Jars of Clay, whose Out of My Hands blasts onto the chart at #34, and American Idol finalist Chris Sligh, whose Word/Curb debut single, Only You Can Save, enters at a more than respectable #43. Greatest Gainer is Matthew West’s My Own Little World, rocketing up the chart 39-25.
