Top 10 Weekly Christian Music Hits

For the Week Ending September 7, 2008

By Kim Jones, About.com

The official Top 10 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.

Brandon Heath and Francesca Battistelli have jumped ahead of the pack to take the two top spots in the Weekly Top 10. Big Daddy Weave and Sanctus Real, who bring new music this week, will try to do as well.

1. "Give Me Your Eyes" - Brandon Heath

Brandon Heath - What if WeReunion
"Give Me Your Eyes," which debuted 4 weeks ago, is off of Brandon's new release, What If We, which hit stores on August 19th. A soft melody carries a big stick on this tune ... big enough to knock MercyMe out of the top spot.
