No. 1 singles

A listing of the Newsboys' radio No. 1 singles, according to their fact sheet posted on their label's website, Inpop Records as well as CCM Magazine, Radio & Records, and Billboard magazine. While most of the hit singles are always counted towards their overall No. 1 hits tally, the inclusion of "One Heart" is in dispute as being an actual No. 1. Also, some tallies of their No. 1 hits only include the more popular current CHR and AC formats, leaving out "Cup O' Tea" and "Breathe", which were No. 1 hits on the Christian Rock chart only, and "Presence " and "Wherever We Go", which both topped the Christian CHR Recurrent chart after falling below No. 20 after 20 weeks on the Christian CHR chart.
