Lauren Daigle‘s “You Say” has been leading the streaming, airplay and sales-based Hot Christian Songs chart for about 41 weeks now. A reign only second to Hillsong United’s “Oceans (Where Feet May Fail),” which dominated for 61 weeks starting in 2013. “You Say,” which dominated Christian Airplay chart for 17 weeks starting in September 2018, soars by 50% to 18,000 downloads sold (its sixth-best weekly sum) in the week ending May 2 and tops Christian Digital Song Sales for a 39th frame.
The surge follows Daigle’s performance of the song at the 2019 Billboard Music Awards (May 1), as many viewers were likely watching her for the first time, as “You Say” garnered the 25% Shazams higher than all songs performed during the NBC broadcast and a whopping 89 million youtube views.
