Bands and worship collectives have always been a big part of Christian radio. But which ones do listeners love the most?
Nationwide song research provides the answer. Listeners score individual songs, and the groups with the most highly rated songs overall rise to the top.
Coming in at no. 1 is Casting Crowns, a group known for powerful storytelling songs that continue to resonate with listeners.
Right behind them is MercyMe, whose long list of radio favorites still scores strongly in listener testing.
Third place goes to Elevation Worship and Elevation Rhythm, followed by legendary band Third Day.
Rounding out the Top Five is global worship favorite Hillsong Worship.
