The Afters score a second week at #1 on Billboard Top Christian Songs chart with Light Up The Sky, heading into the Christmas weekend. (Technically, this chart counts for the airplay the weekend before Christmas, so we should see Christmas airplay next week). The Yuletide season may be sending several songs into the Top 50, but only one song cracks the Top 10: tobyMac’s Christmas This Year, which moves 11-3 and is the Greatest Gainer on the chart this week. Your Love by Brandon Heath is THISCLOSE to #1. GO BRANDON! Woot! haha oi vey
