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.
Francesca Battistelli has swapped places this week with Matthew West, making her song the #1 on the Top 10. New music from Newsboys, Big Daddy Weave and Run Kid Run helps rock May into being.
1. "Free To Be Me" - Francesca Battistelli
After debuting 13 weeks ago, this song moved up the charts like a bullet. The upbeat "Free To Be Me" is the second radio release from My Paper Heart to make the Top 10.
2. "The Motions" - Matthew West
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 again this week, I would have to say yes!
3. "I Will Rise" - Chris Tomlin
"I Will Rise," which debuted four weeks ago, is the latest single off of Chris Tomlin's 2008 release Hello Love.
4. "There Will Be a Day" - Jeremy Camp
This powerful and passionate song, in its 14th week in the charts, comes to us from Jeremy's new release, Speaking Louder Than Before. The song has set a ton of records at radio and once you hear it, you'll certainly understand why. Outstanding!
5. "By Your Side" - Tenth Avenue North
"By Your Side," which debuted last November, is the second radio single from the Dove New Artist of the Year'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.
6. "Finally Home" - MercyMe
"Finally Home" is the latest single release from All That Is Within Me and this is the 10th 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.
7. "In The Hands of God" - Newsboys
Debuting this week, "In The Hands of God" is the title track from the upcoming Newsboys release. Very upbeat and positive, this song is a highlight of the album.
8. "You Found Me" - Big Daddy Weave
Another newcomer to the Top 10, "You Found Me" kicks into high gear and doesn't slow down a bit. Off of last summer's What Life Would Be Like, this song will be a favorite for this summer season.
9. "Revelation" - Third Day
"Revelation," which we first saw in December, is the title track and second radio single off of the new album, Revelation, which released on July 29th. Brad Avery may be missing, but the classic Third Day sound sure isn't.
