Christian Songs
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Christian Songs (also known as Hot Christian Songs and National Christian Audience) is a Billboard chart published weekly by Billboard magazine in the United States.
The 50-position chart ranks the most popular Contemporary Christian songs, calculated by overall audience impression CCM stations. The chart does not track digital download sales, which are instead calculated on the Christian Digital Songs chart.
The published debut of the chart was in June 2003. The current number-one single, for the chart week of December 3, 2011, is "My Hope Is In You" by Aaron Shust.
