Redman / Jesus Culture's "10,000 Reasons" reclaims the #1 spot in the yearly download chart, after sliding to #2 last year from the 2014 #1 placing. The biggest increase came from Tomlin / Housefire's "Good Good Father", which wasn't on last year's top 20, but hit #4 this year! Bethel / Aaron Shust's "Ever Be" has quickly become one of the more popular songs here as well. Also, All Sons & Dauther's "Great Are You Lord" made a notable climb from the bottom of last year's list up to #6.

No other big surprises overall though. This year did bring a lot of great new music and we are sure to see more of those newer songs sliding into top spots in the years to come!
