For a while I thought this would be my bottom placer. It ended up barely beating a couple other songs and ended up in my top 50. I just didn't feel too much connection with this one.

I am surprised this song didn't crack the top 50. We all pretty much had this song in the same position which caused it to sink lower. I actually like the chorus a good bit.

While this song missed my top half, I find this one very pleasant. It's got a nice groove to it and is an easy listen. Again, I was a little surprised with this placement.

"Amazing Grace" is a classic and timeless hymn that has been sung by multiple people on numerous occasions. This version was very long and went about at a snail's pace. It just stuck out like a sore thumb within the realm of Contemporary Christian music.

I'm not a huge fan of Warren. It depends on the song. This song performed very similar to his two other songs he had in 2003. He's stuck in the 40's.
I did receive a perfect ranking!

Matthew West has an amazing track record with hit singles in his career. This one won't be near the top of the list. He still sounds great. It's nice to see a light, not take yourself so seriously kind of song. He has much, much better though.
I do find myself getting back to back perfect rankings!

I do enjoy this one quite a bit. It's interesting to hear the similarities/differences between the Newsboys eras. Overall, I like the addition of Michael Tait the best. But, the uniqueness of this lead singer's voice is great.
Congrats to @xfer for a perfect ranking!

Avalon is nearing the end of their radio hits during this year. I enjoyed this one more than their other song on this rankdown. I found myself putting this one right in the middle.

I think this is a good position for this song to land on. I like it well enough, but it doesn't have any 'extra' quality to make me like it even more.

I do like this more than my ranking might show. With a few more listens, I might have ranked this a little higher. The song does go a bit long and doesn't have that 'moment' that many of his other songs have.
I do enjoy a perfect ranking for this!

This is a good worship song. Twila sings this very well. She is an artist that I feel got caught in between different styles of Contemporary Christian Music. This song feels classic.
I am liking these back-to-back perfect rankings!

Our last reveal for the day will lose our first top 10 ranking. What could it be?

During the Christmas season, CCM radio dives right into a lot of Christmas music. So, each year we will be ranking a few of the most played Christmas songs. We had two Christmas tunes this rankdown. I was very curious how well they would do. Both landed outside of the bottom 10. This classic melody did so by the skin of its teeth. I wasn't a fan of this version and much preferred our other Christmas offering.

I liked the chorus. I just wish the verses didn't come from "Amazing Grace". It felt like two different songs that didn't really mix well together.

Their voices blend well together. The song is good, but it just wasn't as popular as their hit from 2003. I wish it could have done a bit better this rankdown.

Third Day managed to notch three songs in this rankdown. They have been a very successful group with many hits to their name. I agree with this being the first of theirs to go.
Congrats to @xfer for a perfect ranking!

I think this is a nice duet between Bebo and Joy. It's a nice easy listen and has that laid back feel to it. I believe this is a good position for the song to end up on.
