This week on 20 The Countdown Magazine, there’s plenty of movement across the Top 20 as some longtime favorites continue battling for the top spot and a few newer songs keep gaining momentum.

You’ll also hear the latest Christian music news, including Phil Wickham announcing a brand new book called Everyday Hallelujah, an update on Natalie Grant after a recent medical emergency, and an unforgettable moment as Terrian performs “Testimony” alongside a young fan whose personal story makes the song hit even deeper. Plus, we spotlight WWWA Maine in Portland, Maine as our Station of the Week, celebrate Holly Brand winning this week’s Future Fan Favorite with “I Know Somebody,” and preview two brand new songs battling for your votes this week.
