I love how he took the verse of Psalm 118:24 and turned it into a fun and joyous tune. I'm sure the book of Psalm is full of verses waiting to get transitioned into Christian hits!

Brooke didn't last too long with her radio career. This is a good song with a nice melody. It just didn't seem as memorable to me compared to many of the others on this list.

This is one of their better singles and ended up getting a top 10 in radio! Our ranks were all over the place, resulting in 33Miles getting a 33Placement! Congrats to fireflies for a perfect ranking!

#32 - O Come All Ye Faithful - Rush of Fools
Total Points: 94 Hot Christian Songs: #4
dgarcia3377 - #15 fireflies - #30 dee12 - #49
Before listening to this song, I predicted this would be an easy one near the last of my list. So, I was surprised when I heard the poppier style that still didn't take anything away from its core meaning. I especially liked the "Come, come adore, Come bow before" segments. This also won the tie over 33Miles.

Chris was on the 6th season of American Idol and came in 10th place. While not having a huge career like some of his counterparts, he was able to string along a couple of hits. Here is his Idol audition!

I do like Carrie Underwood's version better, but I did like Rush Of Fools version as well. I've honestly been playing Carrie's version at least once a week even though were are in the middle of summer

dee12 - #23 fireflies - #32 dgarcia3377 - #34
This is one of their earlier signature hits. It is our first #1 radio single to leave us this rankdown. It's also our first certified song heading out. All in all, this song had a lot of success and helped pave the way for future hit songs!

This was my favorite discovery from this song list. I'm very disappointed radio stalled this one too soon. Our ranks were all over the place - a very high, a middle and a very low! This won the tie over Needtobreathe. Congrats to dee12 for a perfect ranking!

They sound really good here. I'm glad radio supported this song. Their popular Christmas song, "How Many Kings", missed out on making the 2007 list, so I'll just add it as a bonus right here!

This is another classic Chris Tomlin song. Radio continued its support. Chris also landed a Gold record with this single. It just barely missed making our top half.

This is our second Christmas song to leave us. I'm glad to see this do fairly well here. I love hearing this one every year. It was nice seeing this cross over to the AC charts!

While this band is mainly known for their few big crossover hits, they have done well accumulating many Christian radio hits. This was included in Disney's Prince Caspian movie. Here is the trailer!

This is a fairly straightforward version of a classic hymn. For being one, it did decent on radio even though it didn't crack the top 15.

Third Day continues with radio dominance. I loved how they included information about Salvation Mountain. It was recently used in the music video for Kesha's "Praying." Here is a clip about the mountain and its founder!

I would consider this a more modern worship song. The tune is catchy. I could hear this one being played in church services. This was a big radio contender as well.

This is such a good song to listen to. I'm glad Michael had invited this children's choir to join with him. You can tell they were having a blast. They had energy and were a nice addition to the song! This won the tie over Matt's song.

This was a very good single choice for the band. This one was just shy of another #1 hit for the group. I'm glad to see that this at least made the top 20 here.

The chorus resonates really well here. I'm enjoying their single choices more and more. The accompanying music video was well done. We all ranked this near each other and that's where it landed!

Third Day scores a #1 radio hit with this single. They'll have many hits to come in future years. The band recently disbanded, but Mac Powell has a new single on the radio. We'll see how he fares solo!

Her debut in Christian radio was a huge one. Her career has been going strong now for over a decade. Also, coming this Fall, she is starring in the new "God's not Dead" movie - the series' fourth film.

This is an effective worship song from Laura! She's a very good vocalist who can pull you in with a certain kind of gentleness. The lyrics are showcased front and center.

Looks like I have these left: 1-4, 6-11, 14, 16, 18, 23, 25
I'm surprised I still have most of my top 10. I hoping I can get 23 and 25 gone on these next set of reveals

Oops! This one didn't grab me initially. I'm sure with more listens, this is one that I could have ranked a bit higher. It stalled outside the top 10 in radio but broke our tie over Laura's song thanks to a #6 ranking!
