#34 - How Can I Keep From Singing - Chris Tomlin
Total Points: 126 Hot Christian Songs: #4
dee12 - #24 dgarcia3377 - #27 fireflies - #33 chanman - #42
Of the many hits in Tomlin's discography, this one doesn't seem to be a go-to. It often gets overlooked. He sings this great and adds in that praise and worship touch that he does so well.

#33 - Awakening - Switchfoot
Total Points: 126 Hot Christian Songs: #16
dgarcia3377 - #17 fireflies - #24 dee12 - #38 chanman - #47
This broke the tie over Chris Tomlin thanks to a #17 ranking. This is a fun song with a very quirky music video. They got some pretty famous faces to star in it. Tony Hale from "Arrested Development" and Jayma Mays from "Glee" and "Paul Blart" lent their talents. The younger guy seems familiar, but I can't place him with anything.

This was a good song to listen to. It was one that I couldn't remember too much after it was over though. We each ranked this song in different sections it seems.

This was a great single choice. It was extremely radio ready and Toby does very nicely with this. This is a good sound for him. He knows how to crank out these pop hits.

Total Points: 117 Hot Christian Songs: #1
dgarcia3377 - #9 fireflies - #27 dee12 - #30 chanman - #51
MercyMe earns another #1 at Christian radio, which is definitely a common occurrence for them. They choose their singles well, making them one of the most successful acts in Christian music! Congrats to dee12 for a perfect ranking!

Total Points: 116 Hot Christian Songs: #2
dee12 - #21 fireflies - #23 chanman - #27 dgarcia3377 - #45
David Crowder is usually a mixed bag for me, especially when he's with the band. This is one of his better outings. It's catchy, radio friendly and sits well with his voice.

I really like this group and the songs they released this year. They were popular with a younger crowd and even were able to cross into the mainstream with a couple of their songs. Congrats to dgarcia3377 for a perfect ranking!

#27 - Song of Hope (Heaven Come Down) - Robbie Seay Band
Total Points: 105 Hot Christian Songs: #7
fireflies - #3 dee12 - #20 dgarcia3377 - #30 chanman - #52
This was their big hit from their career! I loved it a lot back then and that hasn't changed these 13 years later. I'm thinking this will be the only song we rank for them, but it's a great one!

This is another really good song from the band. I can't wait for the years when music videos become more frequent in this genre. I feel Relient K could have had awesome videos with these. This is the final song to have over 100 points!

Two powerful vocalists bring this Christmas song to life. Mandisa was a season 5 contestant on American Idol. She came in 9th place and is one of the most successful alums to come from that competition. Here is her Idol audition!

#24 - Christmas Day - Michael W. Smith ft. Mandisa
Total Points: 97 Hot Christian Songs: #2 Adult Contemporary: #18
fireflies - #4 dee12 - #29 dgarcia3377 - #32 chanman - #32
Michael, the legend, is partnering with Mandisa, the newbie, and a Christmas masterpiece was formed. This is one of my favorite Christmas songs. I find it ironic that it is back to back with Mandisa's other Christmas song with both having 97 points. It did crossover to AC for a bit. Here is Mandisa reacting to the mean comments Simon had made to her.

We say goodbye to our final Mandisa song, this one being her solo. She had a great first year with having three songs make top 7 on radio. Congrats to dee12 for a perfect ranking!

This is another solid entry from Mark. He's a very good storyteller. He takes the listeners on a journey through the eyes of a couple in love.

Ahhhhhh. By His Wounds moves me as the Worship song for this rankdown. It was most cool that these guys took a note one after the other. And then harmonized together in the last line.....Nothing but the blood of Jesus.... Oh well...let's continue

In these last few entries from Newsboys, this is definitely on the higher end for me. It's very catchy and was definitely a good single choice for the radio.

I seem to be the outlier in my ranking of this song. Still, this is a fine worship song and should fit well during Sunday service. With radio stalling out at #15, radio programmers were probably thinking the same thing.

I enjoyed this one a lot. Of his two songs this year, I'm glad that this one was able to crack the top 20! Radio seized on this but it still fell short of a #1.

The lead singer has such strong vocals that he can always elevate a song. I already liked this song, but it really fits with his voice in a way that might not work well with someone else. Radio needed to play this one a bit more.

Total Points: 87 Hot Christian Songs: #1 Bubbling Under Hot 100: #25 PLATINUM
dgarcia3377 - #5 dee12 - #11 fireflies - #18 chanman - #53
This song was a huge hit. It was certified Platinum, went #1 and even cracked the all-genre Bubbling Under charts! This band is great at knowing what works well for them and what their fans want to hear! 'From one scarred hand to the other' is a great line that describes just how much love and mercy Jesus has bestowed upon us.

MercyMe gets to celebrate another #1 victory! I did prefer "God with Us" a little more than this. Their list of singles is so big that some will just be able to soar above others.

This is the first single that really propelled Brandon. He earned a #1 and was able to find more success in the future. He is still giving off those laid-back charms with his sound.
