Contemporary Christian band MercyMe has ended singer Brandon Heath’s two month reign atop Billboard’s Hot Christian Songs chart, as Beautiful scoots one notch to the top, with Tenth Avenue North’s You Are More right behind it; Heath’s Your Love tumbles to #3. Casting Crowns’ Glorious Day (Living He Loved Me) enters the Top 10 for the first time and earns Greatest Gainer honors; I am amazed by the resiliency of the group’s Let The Whole World Hear CD; it’s scored five radio singles so far. Building 429’s Listen to the Sound is the hotshot debut this week at a comfortable #32. Hyland scores a radio hit with This Love is Free (#45), and Mikeschair follows with Straight to Your Heart (#49).
