This list is based on reporting data from small to large United Kingdom churches, across all denominations licensed with CCLI. Without a doubt, having a song land in the CCLI Top 100® is a significant benchmark for any Christian songwriter. While PraiseCharts tracks music purchasing in real-time, CCLI tracks the week-to-week usage of worship songs and reports on the results twice a year. The list may be static, and the songs might be dated, but it still represents a snapshot in time of significant trends in worship from churches all across the nation.
