Lauren Daigle, Hillsong Dominate Top 10 Christian Songs in Last Year
Lauren Daigle’s “You Say” was at the top of the most-streamed Christian songs on Spotify in the last year, Fox News reports.
“You Say” was also No. 1 on Billboard’s Hot Christian Songs chart for 73 weeks in a row, beating Hillsong UNITED’s record of 61 weeks with “Oceans.”
Singer “Just Sam” recently sang “You Say” for her audition on American Idol. The young singer not only wowed the judges with her emotional performance, but also had the opportunity to pray with them afterward.
But this isn’t Daigle’s only big win. She won multiple awards at the 50th Annual Gospel Music Association Dove Awards in Nashville in October 2019, including Artist of the Year, Song of the Year for “You Say” and Pop/Contemporary Album of the Year for Look Up Child.
In January 2020, she delighted a stadium full of football fans with her rendition of “The Star Spangled Banner” at the 2020 National Championship game between Clemson and Louisiana State University.
The second most-streamed song for Spotify in the last year was “Reckless Love” by Cory Asbury.
Hillsong UNITED dominated several top spots on the list with “Oceans (Where Feet May Fail)” at No. 3, “So Will I (100 Billion X)” at No. 5, and “Whole Heart (Hold Me Now)” at No. 10.
The Hillsong trend continued with Hillsong Worship’s “Who You Say I Am” at No. 7.
Elevation Worship secured two spots on the Top 10 list. “O Come to the Altar (Live)” took the No. 4 spot and “Do It Again” was No. 9.
