TobyMac Earns New Top 10 on Hot Christian Songs Chart

TobyMac returns to familiar territory on Billboard‘s Hot Christian Songs chart: the top 10.

The genre star’s “Move (Keep Walkin’)” saunters 11-8 on the list (dated June 4), buoyed by a 7 percent jump to 3,000 downloads sold in the week ending May 19, according to Nielsen Music; on Christian Digital Songs, the track lifts 10-9.

TobyMac earns his 17th Hot Christian Songs top 10, the fifth-best sum in the chart’s history (which dates to 2003). Chris Tomlin leads with 24, followed by Casting Crowns (22), MercyMe (21) and Jeremy Camp (19).
