Every year, Finney Media Research tests library songs from CCM artists with listeners across the USA. Listeners decide this ranking through the research we’ve gathered.
In March, we showed you the Top Five Female Artists (READ). In April, the Top Five Male Artists (READ). Now, we reveal the Top Five CCM Groups 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 CCM Groups
| 1. Casting Crowns |
| 2. MercyMe |
| 3. Big Daddy Weave |
| 4. Elevation Worship |
| 5. For King & Country |
Casting Crowns and MercyMe are almost tied for our top spot. They have over 20 years of chart success and they continue to connect even whilesongs from more than 10 years ago test well. Big Daddy Weave, with their long history, and lots of great testing songs, pulls in at no. 3. Worship songs and artists continue to test strongly, and you see that with our no. 4 group Elevation Worship. For King & Country cracks our Top Five for the first time!
Coming in June: We bring it all together. The Top Five Artists – Male, Female and Groups – all in one full list.
