Even though this did worse on radio than their other single on this list, we all much preferred this one instead. I really like the chorus.

#13 - Lose My Soul - tobyMac ft. Kirk Franklin & Mandisa
Total Points: 46 Hot Christian Songs: #2 GOLD
dee12 - #3 dgarcia3377 - #16 fireflies - #27
This is a great collaboration between all artists involved. They all get back together again in Mandisa's single, "Bleed the Same." This had great radio support and managed a Gold certification!

#12 - Savior, Please - Josh Wilson

I like Josh's voice a lot. He is really good at emoting through his songs. I'm glad he garnered a lot of interest early on in his career. Congrats to dee12 for a perfect ranking!

While decent on radio, I'm surprised this didn't peak in the top 10. With so many hits to her name, this one isn't the most recognizable. She delivers it great, and I'm excited it did well here. (even though it just missed top 10 here as well)

#10 - You're Not Alone - Meredith Andrews
Total Points: 41 Hot Christian Songs: #5 Christian Airplay: #18
dee12 - #7 dgarcia3377 - #14 fireflies - #20
Meredith delivers a great vocal here. Sometime in 2013, Billboard gave Christian Airplay its own chart. The Hot Christian Songs chart went from straight radio to something that would include streams, etc. So, radio stalled on this big time. Weird enough, on a random date in 2014, this re-entered for its #5 position.

This is a wonderful Christmas song. It's earnest and simple in its performance here. She lets the audience focus in on the lyrics in a gentle, quiet manner.

dgarcia3377 - #2 dee12 - #15 fireflies - #16
This single was a big success for Mr. Camp! It earned him a #1 and was certified Gold! It's also one of two songs he managed to get in the top 8 of this rankdown! He's still going strong to this day!

Jeremy does miss out on top 5 with these back-to-back losses. This is another big hit for him that earned him yet another radio #1. The music video is also enjoyable to watch.

This band is starting their career off swinging. Radio got on board early with this group. They made a very catchy single and will have many more to come. They still have one more song left in this rankdown!

#5 - Slow Fade - Casting Crowns
Total Points: 25 Hot Christian Songs: #5
fireflies - #1 dee12 - #1 dgarcia3377 - #23
This is one of my favorites from this group. The little girl at the end singing "O, Be Careful" was a great finishing touch to the song! This is a great reminder to us that bad decisions won't necessarily have immediate consequences. This won the tie over "Love is Here" thanks to two #1 rankings!

#4 - I Will Not Be Moved - Natalie Grant
Total Points: 23 Hot Christian Songs: #4
dee12 - #5 fireflies - #8 dgarcia3377 - #10
Natalie had a great showing here after winning in 2007 with "In Better Hands." Radio jumped on board with this. She brings an energy to this that never seems over done. "On Christ the Solid Rock I stand" - always a safe place to be!

Interestingly, our top three songs were the only ones on this list that achieved PLATINUM status!

#3 - Give Me Your Eyes - Brandon Heath
Total Points: 19 Hot Christian Songs: #1 Bubbling Under Hot 100: #22 PLATINUM
dgarcia3377 - #1 fireflies - #9 dee12 - #9
This might be one of Brandon's most well-known singles. It did very well for him. It earned him a #1 in radio, went Platinum and managed a Bubbling Under position for a decent amount of weeks.

#2 - By Your Side - Tenth Avenue North
Total Points: 17 Hot Christian Songs: #2 PLATINUM
fireflies - #3 dgarcia3377 - #6 dee12 - #8
This was a massive hit for this newly created band. It was just shy of a #1 in radio. We are not promised a pain-free life. But, in Jesus, we know that we are never alone. I love watching their music videos!
Which means that...
#1 - Cinderella - Steven Curtis Chapman
Total Points: 10 Hot Christian Songs: #4 Adult Contemporary: #23 PLATINUM
fireflies - #2 dgarcia3377 - #4 dee12 - #4
This is such an emotional song that carries more than one meaning for Steven and his family. In one way, it's about children growing up and making sure you take the time (as a parent) to not miss out on special moments before it's too late. Steven and his wife had adopted a couple of girls. While this was a single, Maria Sue was accidentally killed in their driveway. This turned the meaning into a different direction about the frailty of life. In the music video, the part where she disappears always gets to me. This was a very fitting winner!
