Well 2 things could be in play.
More business owners are Christians? Therefore they play it in their stores as a witness to the customers and they know the believers would rather hear it. After all you very rarely see Christians witnessing to the public. It it were not for Christian music most sinners would never hear anything about God or Jesus.
Secular music has gotten so bad both musically and in lyrics that sinners are looking for something that sounds better?
Personally I never hear Hillsong/Charismatic music playing in a business. If at all it is K LOVE style.
