Total Points: 127 Hot Christian Songs: #11
fireflies - #19 chanman - #25 dgarcia3377 - #33 dee12 - #50
I enjoyed this one quite a bit. It barely missed out on being a top 10 hit on radio. Their voices blend well together and the emotion from the song is nicely showcased.

This is a well-paced song that ended up doing very well with radio! The band doesn't do much with radio after this, but they didn't stay a one hit wonder.

I haven't been a huge fan of the music from Jars of Clay thus far. But, this one was a lot of fun to listen to. Congrats to dee12 for having our first perfect ranking of the game!

chanman - #22 dee12 - #25 fireflies - #36 dgarcia3377 - #37
While not as memorable as some of the other Mark songs we've covered in these rankdowns, it's still pretty good. Mark's vocals still shine and can make an impact. Radio embraced this as well!

In tonight's reveal, we will start off by getting rid of our 3-way tie. They each had 112 points. They are all separated by the rankings of #22, #11 & #2.
We will also be getting rid of our first GOLD certified song tonight.

This is another solid recording from Nichole. While this may not be one of her go-to songs such as "Legacy", she still has the knack for creating catchy tunes!

#29 - History - Matthew West
Total Points: 112 Hot Christian Songs: #13
dgarcia3377 - #11 chanman - #29 dee12 - #33 fireflies - #39
This is the first of two Matthew West songs to leave us this rankdown. This is a nice single, but I do prefer his other one when comparing the two. It's been fun seeing Matthew's career grow over the years. Congrats to chanman for a perfect ranking!

#28 - Bless the Broken Road - Selah
Total Points: 112 Hot Christian Songs: #5
chanman - #2 fireflies - #34 dee12 - #36 dgarcia3377 - #40
This song won the 3-way tie! This is a very good cover to the monster hit sung by Rascal Flatts. Their version went #1 on Hot Country Songs and made it to #29 on the Hot 100! It's just a great song in general and Christian radio easily took to Selah's version!

#27 - You Never Let Go - Matt Redman
Total Points: 111 Hot Christian Songs: #17 GOLD
dee12 - #19 dgarcia3377 - #22 fireflies - #27 chanman - #43
This song is so good! It became a hit song even though radio decided to stall this one out by barely giving it enough love to make top 20. It also misses out on making the top half of our rankdown. Congrats to fireflies for a perfect ranking. It's cool that it managed a GOLD certification!

#26 - Tonight - Jeremy Camp
Total Points: 109 Hot Christian Songs: #4
fireflies - #15 dgarcia3377 - #27 dee12 - #30 chanman - #37
This was another big hit for Jeremy. I always love it when he releases his songs with a music video. I don't know how expensive it is to make, but in these early years many radio singles from Christian artists didn't get the video treatment. It's much more common today to have a video.

Jeremy loses his two entries back to back. I enjoyed both of them a lot, even putting this one into my top 10! This was another big hit for Jeremy on radio!

This is another great single choice. Her voice sounds spectacular on this. She has always been a favorite of mine! She won the tie over Jeremy thanks to a #4 ranking.

Bebo's voice always has that light, calming touch to it. It works better with some songs more than others. I think it works great with this one. This is a very nice song to listen to!

dgarcia3377 - #17 fireflies - #20 chanman - #26 dee12 - #38
This is a great song that should have made top 10 in radio. The band has done well for themselves. This lost the tie to the song that came in 21st place. That song will be our first #1 radio hit song to leave this rankdown.

#21 - Mountain of God - Third Day
Total Points: 101 Hot Christian Songs: #1
dgarcia3377 - #13 dee12 - #16 fireflies - #23 chanman - #49
This was a very popular song. Third Day has a whole stack of huge hits, and this is definitely one of them. The #13 ranking edged out the #17 ranking to win the tie. But, it still barely missed out on making the rankdown's top 20.

Each one of us were on the same page with this song by placing it in the mid 20's. This is a nice song that gets its point across in a soothing light-hearted way. This will be the last song to have points in the triple digits!

I really like the chorus to this one. I'm glad this was able to graze the top 10 in radio. The message points us to 'the Light' which is what everybody needs a little bit more of these days!

Chris Tomlin is such a great worship leader and singer. His songs are both catchy and ones that you can hear on a Sunday morning! This earned him a #1 on radio! Congrats to dgarcia3377 for a perfect ranking!

I enjoyed this one a lot. It won the tie over Chris Tomlin thanks to a #1 ranking! This also did very well on radio, a lot higher than I had thought before checking it out.

This is the first of two songs to leave from Casting Crowns. This is one of their biggest hits, and they've had an abundance of them. They were on fire with the single choices this year! This is also a great song to listen to when it's storming outside.

I remembered hearing this song a lot back then. So, I'm surprised it didn't do as well on radio. The song is very catchy and works well with the bit of rasp in her voice.

Radio has been by his side for years. This is another #1 for toby! The song is fun and upbeat. It was lower on my list, but it's still a nice one to listen to every once in a while!

I loved this song a lot! They sound good and made a nice music video to go with it. They're still making hits today. It was weird seeing how much younger they looked back then, especially the lead singer.

This song was an instant favorite. It well deserved it's #1 status and GOLD certification! It's powerfully sung and the chorus brings it all the way home.
