The Official UK Christian & Gospel Singles Chart reaches a major milestone this week, marking six months since its launch on 6 March 2026.
In that time, the chart has completed 27 weeks, welcomed over 75 songs, produced 9 chart-topping songs and given UK Christian and Gospel music a consistent platform for visibility and celebration.
Since launch, it has created space for established names, independent voices and new sounds to be discovered across the UK Christian and Gospel scene.
This six-month moment is also a time to celebrate the songs that have completed their full 13-week run, every song that has reached No.1, and every artist who has appeared on the chart so far. Each one has played a part in shaping the story.
The listeners deserve celebrating too. Every stream, download, purchase, playlist add and share has helped these songs travel further, moving from platforms into homes, churches, cars, playlists and everyday moments.
That is why this milestone matters. It is not just about numbers or weekly positions. It is about the growing proof that UK Christian and Gospel music has an audience that is listening, responding and showing up week after week.
Something unusual also happens this week. For the first time since the chart launched, Chantelle Rutendo and Rend Collective are both missing from the Top 20. Both names had been present every week since the beginning, with last week marking 26 straight weeks on the chart. Their absence brings that long-running streak to an end, making this another notable moment in the six-month story.
And for this week’s chart overview, which also marks the sixth-month milestone, let’s dive in.
This week, ‘Give Me Joy’ by Elle Limebear remains at No.1, extending its remarkable run at the top. The chart also welcomes two new entries and one re-entry, while several songs from last week continue to hold steady inside the Top 10.
Topping this week’s Official UK Christian & Gospel Singles Chart is ‘Give Me Joy’ by Elle Limebear. This now makes it six consecutive weeks at No.1, putting Elle just one week away from matching the longest consecutive run currently held by JERUB’s ‘Kumbaya’.
Six months in, ‘Give Me Joy’ is on a six-week run, and if it holds on for another week, Elle Limebear will equal JERUB’s seven-week consecutive No.1 record. Anything beyond that could see her create a brand-new record on the Official UK Christian & Gospel Singles Chart.
A few songs from last week continue to hold steady inside the Top 10. ‘Psalm 91’ by MIN ADEOLUWA remains strong at No.2 for a second week, while ‘More Than Enough’ by Westwashere sits at No.4 and ‘Altar Call’ by MIN ADEOLUWA stays inside the Top 5 at No.5. ‘Ekballo’ (meaning “send out” or “thrust forth”) by KAC Music remains in the Top 10 at No.6, while ‘So Real’ and ‘Everything And More’ by CalledOut Music both continue to hold their place within the Top 10. ‘Ebenezer’ by Worship Culture Collective also moves into No.9.
This week also brings two new entries into the Top 10. ‘Make A Way’ by Tim Hughes enters straight at No.3, while ‘Righteous Man’ by Daniel Tuyindi comes in at No.7.
The highest new entry this week is ‘Make A Way’ by Tim Hughes, landing straight at No.3. That is a big moment, especially as Tim Hughes returns with new solo music after more than a decade away from releasing as a solo artist.
For many, Tim Hughes is not a new name. He is one of the well-known voices and writers who has helped shape modern worship over the years, so seeing him return and make such a strong entry on the Official UK Christian & Gospel Singles Chart carries real weight.
‘Make A Way’ coming in at No.3 shows that listeners are still connecting with his sound, his writing and the heart behind his music. After years focused on ministry, church and worship leadership, this return feels timely, and the chart response shows there is still a strong place for his voice in today’s UK Christian and Gospel music scene.
This week’s re-entry comes from ‘David Danced’ by Imrhan, returning at No.20. After making its debut on the chart recently, the song finds its way back into the Top 20 and adds another familiar name to this week’s movement.
A few artists also appear more than once this week. MIN ADEOLUWA appears at No.2 with ‘Psalm 91’ and No.5 with ‘Altar Call’. CalledOut Music appears twice, with ‘So Real’ at No.8 and ‘Everything And More’ at No.10. Westwashere appears at No.4 with ‘More Than Enough’ and No.12 with ‘Find Me Here’, while KAC Music appears at No.6 with ‘Ekballo’ and No.15 with ‘Give Me Fire’. Joel Barber and Chroma Worship also appear twice with ‘What A God’ at No.11 and ‘Awesome God’ at No.13.

Looking at the chart this week, the main story belongs to Elle Limebear and Tim Hughes. ‘Give Me Joy’ continues its powerful run at No.1, now sitting just one week away from matching JERUB’s longest consecutive No.1 record. At the same time, Tim Hughes makes a strong return with ‘Make A Way’ entering straight at No.3, marking a standout moment after more than a decade away from releasing new solo music.
There is still plenty to celebrate across the Top 10, with ‘Psalm 91’ holding firm at No.2, several songs from last week staying strong, and ‘Righteous Man’ by Daniel Tuyindi also arriving as a new entry at No.7.
Will ‘Give Me Joy’ hold on for a seventh week and equal JERUB’s record, will ‘Psalm 91’ make a move for the top, or will ‘Make A Way’ climb higher after its strong debut? One thing is certain, six months in, the Official UK Christian & Gospel Singles Chart continues to give us stories worth following.
