Lauren Daigle’s “You Say” Breaks Record For Most Weeks At #1 On Billboard Hot Christian Songs

“You Say” scores a 62nd week in the pinnacle position.

Lauren Daigle’s crossover smash “You Say” has officially broken the record for most weeks atop the Billboard Hot Christian Songs chart.

“You Say” retains its #1 position on the chart dated October 5, 2019, extending its reign to 62 weeks. The reign outright ranks as the longest in the history of the chart.

The previous, 61-week record belonged to Hillsong United’s “Oceans (Where Feet May Fail),” which began its reign in late 2013.

“You Say” has spent a total of 64 weeks on the chart, which ranks Christian songs based on activity from streams, sales and radio airplay. Its only weeks away from the #1 position were its first (when it launched at #33 after an abbreviated tracking period) and the week of Christmas (when Daigle’s own version of “The Christmas Song” took over).

Daigle also has the #2 song on this week’s chart in the form of “Rescue.”
