John's Future Favorite: The Space In Between Us [Building 429]

I only listened to the beginning and the end of the charts, forgetting most of the middle contents. I tried to figure them out, but when I find the correct ones, I will post them. (#12-18 might be wrong, if my memory fails me)

[Hervard]

Here's the correct version of the chart with the full stats (but koalaclement was very close - the positions that he predicted were about the same as mine. I didn't listen to the show this weekend, since I was sure that it was going to be a special and I was also busy all weekend, but apparently, the special wasn't this week or some stations chose not to air it. More on that in a moment.) Meanwhile, here's the chart:

Dropper:
From #18: Glory Defined/Building 429

Jeremy Camp continues to rule the roost with his song "Walk By Faith" and a few of his competitors seem to be fizzling out, most noticeably Third Day, who take a dive from 2 to 6.  I think it's pretty safe to say they're out of the running at this point.  I'm not sure which will be the next #1 song, but I still feel sure that "Healing Rain" will eventually take the gold.
Tree63 spends its very first week on the chart outside the Top Ten as it drops to number eleven. It has been here for 33 weeks, tying with "More" by Matthew West as the longest running song on 20. If nothing weird happens in the next week, it should break the tie. But, since Matthew West went to number one with his song while this one stopped at number two, the former should come out higher - possibly on top. The challenger for that position, "Glory Defined" by Building 429, steps off the chart after a healthy twenty-seven week tenure. But, while it spent six less weeks on the chart than "More", it spent as many weeks more on top of the stack. That gives me reason to believe the battle for top spot of the year is going to be very close. The margin should be paper-thin.
"Fall Down" by Trevor Morgan re-enters the top ten, thanks to the declining action of Tree63. I'm glad, too because I've just started to really like that song. Will it go any further? Only time will tell.
"Beauty Of Simplicity" continues to slowly inch up the chart after mysteriously falling out from well inside the Top Ten. I have a feeling that maybe a few reporting stations avoided playing that song for a week and then slowly started playing it again just to shake up the chart. And it surely worked.
I have a question for koalaclement: What station ran this weekly show? I was told that the Rich Mullins show would air this week. I would have assumed that you copied the list from Jon's website if not for the Future Favorite, as well as the fact that you posted on Saturday (the site is updated Monday) and the fact that you weren't sure on a few positions.

I just heard from Brad England that stations were given a choice to run the Rich Mullins show or the regular countdown this past weekend, since his music isn't as popular anymore. But for those of you who were counting on hearing that show and were disappointed that they did not, the show is available to listen to online at the 20: The Countdown Magazine website:
www.20thecountdownmagazine.com.
Just thought I'd point that out.

The station that I listened to was WGTS 91.9, airing on Saturday nights at 9. But I live in LA, so I can listen to it online at 6 each Saturday. And since you didn't post the weekly chart yet, I wrote down what I remembered and posted it. I guessed on the ones I forgot...
