The birth of contemporary Christian music dates back to the late 1960s, but Christian rock came into its own in the 1980s fueled by bands such as Stryper. Billboard magazine started to post the Top 10 Christian rock songs, and some radio stations started to play Christian rock. Bands such as DC Talk, Newsboys, Jars of Clay, Audio Adrenaline and many others achieved commercial success. This list excludes bands that are primarily heavy metal or hardcore punk. Those bands appear in the list of Christian metal artists and list of Christian hardcore bands, respectively.
