How we curate this
Every Monday morning, we scan public Spotify worship setlist playlists from churches and worship teams across the country to see which songs were added for Sunday.
From there, we normalize song titles, merge duplicate versions, and count how many tracked churches included each song in their weekend worship set.
Our hope is that this list helps you discover songs the Church is actually singing right now, not just nationally, but across different cities, denominations, and worship cultures.
You can see which churches are singing each song, learn more about their worship culture, and maybe even reach out to a worship leader to ask how a song has been received, how their congregation is responding, and what the Holy Spirit is doing in their church.
This is not a global chart. It is a curated snapshot from the churches and worship teams we currently track. Our list of churches is always growing. Want your church or worship team to be included? Contact us.
How Is This Different From the CCLI Top 100?
The CCLI Top 100 is helpful, but it is primarily a ranked list. It shows what songs are being reported broadly, but it does not give much context around where those songs are being sung.
Our list adds another layer.
Instead of only showing that a song is popular, we show you which churches included it in their Sunday setlist. That means you can start to see patterns across church size, region, denomination, and worship culture.
For example, a song near the top of a national chart might seem like it is mainly being sung in large, modern, non-denominational churches. But in our data, you might discover that same song is also being sung in a Roman Catholic parish, a small rural church, or a multicultural congregation in another part of the country.
That context matters.
This list is not meant to replace the CCLI Top 100. It is meant to give worship leaders, musicians, and church teams a more relational and practical view of what churches are actually singing each Sunday.
FAQs
+How do you decide which churches are included?
We track public Spotify worship setlist playlists from churches and worship teams. The list is curated, which means we review sources before adding them. Our goal is to include a growing mix of churches across different regions, sizes, and worship traditions.
+Is this a global worship chart?
No. This is not a global chart. It is a curated snapshot based on the churches and worship teams we currently track. As the list of tracked churches grows, the data will become broader and more representative.
+When is the list updated?
The list is updated every Monday evening EST. We look at songs that were freshly added to tracked Sunday setlist playlists for that weekend.
+How do you count a song?
A song is ranked by how many tracked churches included it in their Sunday setlist. If five churches included the same song, that song receives a count of five.
+What happens if churches use different versions of the same song?
We normalize song titles and merge duplicate versions where appropriate. For example, a live version, acoustic version, or radio version of the same song may be grouped under one main song title.
+Do you count the same song twice if one church adds multiple versions?
No. A song is counted by church, not by duplicate playlist entries. If one church includes the same song more than once, it still only counts as one church for that week.
+Can I see which churches sang each song?
Yes. That is one of the main reasons this list exists. Instead of only showing that a song is popular, we show which tracked churches included it so worship leaders can explore the context behind the song.
+Is this different from the CCLI Top 100?
Yes. The CCLI Top 100 is a broad ranking, but it does not usually show which specific churches are singing each song. This list adds context by showing where songs are appearing in real Sunday setlists.
+Can my church be added?
Yes. If your church or worship team publishes a public Spotify worship setlist playlist, you can request to be added. Contact us.
+Do churches have to use Spotify?
For now, Spotify playlists are the easiest source for us to track consistently. In the future, we may support other public sources like Apple Music playlists, YouTube playlists, Planning Center exports, or website-published setlists.
+Why is a song missing?
A song may be missing if it was not included by the churches we currently track, or if the playlist was not updated during the Sunday window. We're constantly adding new churches.
+Can churches update their playlist after Sunday?
Yes. Some churches update playlists before Sunday, while others update them after services. We scan on Monday morning to give churches time to publish or update their setlists.
+Is this meant to tell churches what they should sing?
No. This list is not meant to pressure churches into singing what is popular. It is meant to help worship leaders discover songs, observe trends, and learn from what other churches are singing.
