Sanctus Real still sits pretty atop Billboard’s Christian Songs chart with Lead Me. The first six positions stay the same; Casting Crowns’ If Ever We’ve Needed You falls out of the Top 10 as Chris Tomlin’s I Will Follow rockets up 5 to #9. Outside the Top 10, Tenth Avenue North registers the Greatest Gainer award (no surprise there!), blazing a trail from #43 to #28. Newsboys’ Way Beyond Myself, the follow-up to its #2 hit Born Again (and my favorite track off their stellar new CD), debuts at #49, second only to Hawk Nelson’s Crazy Love, which registers the top debut at #43. Matt Maher’s Christ is Risen squeaks into the chart at #50.
