With relatively little new music being released, the Christian chart remained largely unchanged this week, leaving Anne Wilson’s “My Jesus” virtually unchallenged as the No. 1 song. Wilson’s debut single has now been at the top for five straight weeks and should continue there for at least the next week or two. The No. 2 and 3 songs were also unchanged — Elevation Worship’s “Rattle!” and “Be Alright” by Evan Craft, Danny Gokey & Redimi2 held on to their spots from last week. Phil Wickham moved back into the Top 5 with “House of the Lord” at No. 4, and CAIN’s “Yes He Can” slipped another spot to No. 5. Rhett Walker’s “Gospel Song” fell out of the Top 5 to No. 7.
