There’s a new #1 this week! Join William Ryan III as we count down the 20 biggest songs in Christian music for October 3, 2026, including a new entry from Peter Burton!
Matthew West takes us behind the scenes of his new album, and Chris Tomlin gives some familiar worship favorites a more relaxed sound. Plus, we head back to 2015 with Big Daddy Weave’s “Overwhelmed” and visit our Station of the Week, KFSI in Rochester, Minnesota.
We’ll also hear last week’s Future Fan Favorite winner from Joseph O’Brien and introduce this week’s contenders from Matthew West and Elevation Worship. Who’s taking the top spot? Listen to find out! 20 The Countdown Magazine is listener-supported. Visit
