Every year, Finney Media Research tests library songs from CCM artists with listeners across the United States.
We thought it would be fun for you to see the Top Five Female Artists from our recent research. If you’re playing them, terrific! If you’re not, perhaps it’s time for a discussion about playing them.
Top Five Female CCM Artists
- Lauren Daigle
- CeCe Winans
- Katy Nichole
- Tasha Layton
- Francesca Battistelli
On the strength of high scores for Believe For It and her version of Goodness of God, CeCe Winans soars into our Top Five List this year. The real story in the Top Five is the dominance of Lauren Daigle. The way we do our Artist Scoring rewards artists with lots of high testing songs. Lauren’s scores are so much higher than the others that her score total – driven by lots of hit songs with high scores – is double our no. 2.
Coming in April: The Top Five Male Artists in nationwide CCM Music Research during 2025. There are changes this year in the Top Five! Be sure you’re playing these artists and grow your listenership.
