    Don’t get me wrong there are some great songs in the top 25, but it seems the list has become stagnant. I’ll bet those of us that lead worship could probably write that list with little or no deviation. Takes me back to your “I Hate That Song” post

    That reminds me. It’s CCLI usage report time. :-/

    Yeah you are totally right…in the top 100 there are def more than a hand full that I absolutlyt cant stand and some that I wont even do. lol.

    The top 25 does include a bunch I do , but I think my top 25 that we do would probablly be different…hmmm I may have another post there.

    I thought for sure that Lord I Lift Your Name On High would be there but now that I think about it, it’s probably still in the top 100. I once heard someone say that music in the Christian world is usually about 10 years behind that in the secular world. Looking at this list there are churches that are about 10 years behind that. That isn’t to say that I don’t do those songs it’s more to point out that there has been so much more fresh music that hasn’t broken through that threshhold yet. I wonder how long it’ll take for the new music of today to be the Shout to the Lord of tomorrow. Interesting huh?

    Anyway, hey, thanks for dropping a comment on my blog. I love making new blog friends. You’re on my RSS reader and my link list so I look forward to reading what you have to say and getting to know who you are better.

    Vic…thanks for stopping by buddy. looking forward to more from you.

    If there is one thing ive learned its that a song 15 years old can still be modern.

    There are a few today that are the shout to the lord type anthem like Tomlins biggies….heart of worship…and blessed be your name. and honestly those are pretty modern sounding if done right.

    It’s also cool to see say at walmart that they have christian CD’s on end caps and last week hughes new CD was in top 50 itunes.

    I think these last 5 years have made a dramatic shift in modern Christian music and worship that have actually made it relevant to whats out there. The key to doing worship in your church is knowing your congregation…If your church of 100 is 90% people over 65 then your probablly not going to be doing the newest croder song with Dj mixing. lol

    I see that you’re in the Episcopal Church. In staid olde New England. So am I, and my wife and I have been trying to drag the church’s music into the 21st century at our 5PM Sunday Contemporary service in Bethany, CT. 95% of the mainstream churches have no idea of any of this music, or they think that Contemporary is old Cursillo songs written in the 60’s and 70’s.
    The seminarian who started this service 7 1/2 years ago based on support from our rector, is now a priest and was assigned to a new parish in May. We hired a new music director, a music student from New York, but as he has brought in new stuff that he knows and we keep pushing new songs, we get complaints of too many new songs. We’re running up against people who are easily comfortable with what they know and uncomfortable with learning new music, as if their brains are full. But they had to learn what they know at some point. “Too many notes, herr Mozart. You tax the royal ear.” If people want to sing out of the Hymnal, we have a 10 o’clock service, but I keep running afoul of people who want to stop the clock at some point.
    By the way, the poster who asked about “Lord I Lift Your Name on High”, it’s there at #6, the number is just missing.

    FYI – the top “ccli” songs are based upon the songs that churches report, so it’s not like “CCLI” choose them. As time goes on, if more current songs are reported as being copied, then you’ll soon see those songs as well…
