But it's not just an accomplishment limited to the Christian charts, as Billboard noted that "the song is the first to hit the century mark across all of Billboard's 'Hot' charts," with the 100th week falling on the September 5 chart.

Considering the song's faith-infused message, this is a powerful indication that people are truly seeking hope amid the pain and uncertainty of today's ever-complex world. Just consider the fact that "You Say" is a two-year-old song, yet its powerful message continues to resonate.

Daigle took to Instagram to offer gratitude and to reflect on the accomplishment.

"I am so honored and want to thank all the people involved in achieving this accomplishment. I may sing and write, but there are many people working behind the scenes."

When I was a little girl, I would dream of moments like this. Upon hearing the news, I called my family. We laughed. We cried. We made jokes. We celebrated. I am so honored and want to thank all the people involved in achieving this accomplishment. I may sing and write, but there are many people working behind the scenes. My sincere gratitude goes out to them. To be a part of a song that has not only made history but has lived inside the homes of families raising babies, widows needing comfort, teenagers needing a friend, those who have lost and those who have gained, that is a gift I’ll never fully put into words. Simply amazed that “You Say” has spent 100 weeks on @billboard’s Hot Christian Songs chart! Thank you ALL!! [link in bio]
