So Hillsong United earns yet another week at number one with Oceans (Where Feel May Fail), taking its record-breaking run to 26 weeks. The next likely challenger is Chris Tomlin’s Waterfall, which rockets up 30-8 on the strength of the availability of an iTunes digital download. Meanwhile, go Matthew West! (Do Something is up 7-6 this week.)
Also, Mandisa is inching closer to the Top 10 with Back to You, her follow-up to her #1 hit, Overcomer. If Back to You makes the Top 10, she will be the first female artist in Billboard Christian Songs history to score two straight Top 10 hits from two consecutive albums (Stronger and Waiting for Tomorrow were both Top 10 hits from her previous release, What If We Were Real. And I’m still sore that Good Morning failed to make the Top 10. Go figure.)
