CCLI releases the top 100 songs every 6 months from the reports churches submit. In this list, I have linked Spotify audio of each song and included songs that have dropped off the list over the last several years (denoted by 777 in the rank column).
Take a look at the list and become familiar with some of the songs you do not know. Any surprises?

Where’s all of the Black worship? Black authors?
These are songs from CCLI responses from churches. I would guess there is not a good representation of churches engaged with music from black authors. In that rich and wonderful heritage, there is much learning from rote rather than purchasing downloadable music from the sources represented in these databases. I would love to find a way to list the best music from worship of African-American churches. Do you know of any sources to help with this? Thanks for your questions!
I love this list! I am going to try and play them all by 2022!!!
Awesome list you’ve got sir
Nice list you have here… Thanks for making the work of the gospel easy.
Great Gospel Song over there and great Spotify playlist
God bless all the artiste
