"My favorite part has been seeing people sing 'My Jesus' at shows to the top of their lungs and hearing stories of how they've been impacted by the song," she tells Billboard.

Anne Wilson's launch single "My Jesus" ascends to No. 1 on Billboard's Hot Christian Songs chart (dated Aug. 14), which combines airplay, sales and streaming data.

On Christian Airplay, the track rises 4-2, up 6% to 9.1 million audience impressions, according to MRC Data. It ranks at No. 2 on Christian Digital Song Sales after five weeks at the summit (3,000 sold) and jumps 14-8 on Christian Streaming Songs, awarding Wilson her first top 10 (1.6 million U.S. streams, up 12%).

The 19-year-old Wilson co-authored the song with Jeff Pardo and Matthew West. 

"I've been blown away by how God has been using 'My Jesus' to impact so many lives," Wilson tells Billboard. "I'm so honored that He chose me to be His vessel for this specific time and season. My favorite part so far has been seeing people sing 'My Jesus' at shows to the top of their lungs and hearing stories of how they've been impacted by the song. I would've never dreamed that God would use this song in such a mighty way."

"My Jesus" is the first debut single to top Hot Christian Songs since Cory Asbury's "Reckless Love," which dominated for 18 frames starting in March 2018. The last woman before Wilson to lead with a first entry was Brooke Simpson's "Amazing Grace," which entered on top in December 2017. Simpson finished third in the 13th season of NBC's The Voice.

Wilson, from Lexington, Ky., released her first, EP My Jesus (Live in Nashville), Aug. 6. The five-song set was recorded live at the White Dove Barn in Nashville. Wilson is also working on her first full-length studio album.

Kylie Kelce has responded to speculation that she may be expecting another child.

The 34-year-old, who is married to NFL player Jason Kelce, addressed the rumours after followers shared comments beneath photos from her recent trip to Paris.

Speaking on an episode of Not Gonna Lie, she said, "You know what's f***ed up? Commenting on women's bodies. That's it, that's the whole thought. But specifically commenting on the possibility of a pregnancy. I don't know how many times we have to go over this."

Kelce explained that several remarks appeared under her Paris pictures and decided to read some of them aloud. "There were a few of these comments left on the photos from my Paris trip, so I guess people need a reminder." She continued, "'Is it the dress? Or is that a little baby bump?' Oh. Nope, don't worry it gets worse. The next comment said, 'I see a baby bump.' That was confident. ... The next one says, 'She's pregnant????'"

The mother of four quickly dismissed the claims. "I have so many kids that over the last week, I have had three different people forget that I had four kids and thought I had three," she shared. "I have so many kids that one's getting forgotten along the way. ... Stop trying to get me to have more. Stop it."

She made it clear that conversations about expanding her family are "between me, my husband and my motherf***ing uterus." Kelce also spoke openly about the lasting changes to her figure, saying, "It's not necessarily going to go back to the way it was. Even more so, I have organs. And they go in there. ... Am I 100 per cent pre-baby body? No, because that's never happening. And that's OK, because I have made four human beings."

Kylie and Jason Kelce share four daughters: Wyatt, 6, Ellie, 5, Bennett, 3, and Finn, 16 months.
