Top 10 Weekly Christian Music Hits

For the Week Ending April 19, 2009

By Kim Jones, About.com Guide

The official Top 10 Weekly Christian hit songs list is compiled by your Guide by checking and averaging Christian charts from all over the U.S. such as Billboard and R&R.

Matthew West and Francesca Battistelli sit in the top spots this week in the Top 10 while a powerful new worship ballad from Lincoln Brewster joins them as our newest song in the chart.

1. "The Motions" - Matthew West

Matthew West - Something To SaySparrow
The last single release from Something To Say spent 20 weeks in the Top 10 and was the #1 song of 2008. Does "The Motions," a powerful song about living your life instead of just going through the motions, have what it takes to do as well as "You Are Everything?" With this song being in the top 3 on seven different charts this week, I would have to say yes!

MercyMe - All That Is Within MeINO
"Finally Home" is the latest single release from All That Is Within Me and this is the 8th week we've seen it. Bart Millard's favorite song on the album because it reminds him of the day that he'll get to see his dad again, this emotional tune resonates with listeners because we all have loved ones that we long to see again.

5. "By Your Side" - Tenth Avenue North

Tenth Avenue North - Over and UnderneathIntegrity
"By Your Side," which debuted last November, is the second radio single from the band's debut album, Over and Underneath. With very Jon Forman sounding vocals, the song is written from the perspective of Jesus himself, and asks some hard questions about why we don't seem to feel like he's enough.
