The Christian Songs chart is a record chart compiled by ''Billboard'' magazine that measures the top-performing contemporary Christian songs in the United States. The data was compiled by Nielsen Broadcast Data Systems based on the weekly audience impressions of each song played on contemporary Christian radio stations until the end of November 2013. With the ''Billboard'' issue dated December 7, 2013, the Christian Songs chart began utilizing the same methodology used for the Hot 100 chart to compile its rankings; that is, measuring the airplay of Christian songs across all radio formats, while incorporating data from digital sales and streaming activity. In 2010, ten songs by ten artists achieved a number-one single, either as a leading artist or featured artist. TobyMac recorded two number ones, whilst Amy Grant achieved one as a featured artist with Matthew West. MercyMe's "All of Creation, Chris Tomlin's "Our God", and Sanctus Real's "Lead Me" tied for the longest-running number-one single of 2010, with all three spending a total of nine weeks atop the chart. "All of Creation" was the top ranked song on the year-end chart. In 2011, seventeen songs by thirteen artists achieved a number-one single, either as a leading artist or featured artist. MercyMe, Casting Crowns, and Tenth Avenue North recorded two number-ones each, while Leigh Nash achieved one as a featured artist with tobyMac. MercyMe and Casting Crowns also tied for the longest-running number-one single of 2011, with "Move" and "Glorious Day (Living He Loved Me)" each spending a total of nine weeks atop the chart. Tenth Avenue North's "You Are More" was the top-ranked song on the year-end chart. In 2012, there were nine number ones on the Christian Songs chart by ten artists (Aaron Shust's "My Hope Is in You" first reached the top in 2011 and is not counted in the total). Passion's "One Thing Remains" features Kristian Stanfill. Building 429's "Where I Belong" spent 15 consecutive weeks at number one, the longest-running number-one single of the year, and was ranked as the top Christian song of 2012. Matt Redman's "10,000 Reasons (Bless the Lord)" had three separate stints at number one for a total of 13 weeks. In 2013, only four artists topped the Christian Songs chart. Songs by Big Daddy Weave and Passion featuring Kristian Stanfill are not included in the total; "Redeemed" (3 weeks in 2013, 7 weeks in total) and "One Thing Remains" (three separate stints at number one, 2 weeks in 2013, 4 weeks in total), respectively, first reached the top in 2012. Chris Tomlin's "Whom Shall I Fear (God of Angel Armies)" was ranked as the top Christian Song of 2013, having earned a cumulative total of 15 weeks on top of the chart. Matthew West's "Hello My Name Is," however, spent more time at number one, scoring 17 weeks atop the chart. In September 2013, Hillsong United's "Oceans (Where Feet May Fail)" took over from Mandisa's "Overcomer," starting a record 57-week run at number one. In 2014, only two artists went to number one on the Billboard Christian Songs chart: Hillsong United and Carrie Underwood. Hillsong United's "Oceans (Where Feet May Fail)" continued its run from 2013 and was ranked as the top Christian Song of 2013. In mid-October, Underwood's "Something in the Water" went to number one, and maintained its top position until the end of 2014 leading into the first quarter of 2015. To date, only four songs have topped the Christian Songs chart. In April 2015, Hillsong United's "Oceans (Where Feet May Fail)" returned to No.1 for five weeks before The Voice contestant Meghan Linsey topped the chart for one week with her version of Amazing Grace. Needtobreathe then went to No.1 with a re-recorded version of its single, Brother, featuring Gavin DeGraw. "Brother" topped the charts for 19 weeks before Hillsong United's "Oceans (Where Feet May Fail)" returned to No.1 in October 2015, almost a year after losing the top spot to Underwood's "Something in the Water." Upon its return to the top in October 2015, it becamse the first Christian song since Matt Redman's "10,000 Reasons (Bless the Lord)" in 2012 to top the chart on three separate occasions. ==Number-one singles== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「List of number-one Billboard Christian Songs of the 2010s」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
