This week on 20 The Countdown Magazine, we’re counting down the biggest songs in Christian music and celebrating some really cool moments happening across the industry. We recap a standout weekend at the GRAMMY Awards, where Christian artists were recognized on one of the world’s biggest stages, including wins from familiar names you hear every week on the countdown. It’s encouraging to see faith-filled music reaching far beyond Christian radio. We also talk about a new book announcement from MercyMe’s Bart Millard, sharing the story behind one of the band’s most powerful songs and its connection to the upcoming I Can Only Imagine 2 movie. Plus, CCM Magazine just released a new cover story featuring Colton Dixon, and we hear him open up about life, faith, and the heart behind a song that’s been climbing the chart. Along the way, we spotlight our Station of the Week, Shine 104.9, look back with a 20 Throwback from MercyMe, and reveal this week’s Future Fan Favorite winner, along with two new songs you can vote on right now. And of course, the countdown delivers plenty of movement, big moments, and music you don’t want to miss. Press play and count it down with us.

Each week, William Ryan, III hosts 20 The Countdown Magazine, a curated audio journey through the most compelling currents in Christian music. This isn't just a list; it's a contextual exploration. You'll hear the week's definitive top twenty songs, but the experience is built around the stories behind them. William blends the countdown with thoughtful commentary on the artists and trends shaping the genre, alongside relevant music news that informs what's playing. The heart of the podcast often lies in its conversations, featuring interviews with the musicians themselves who provide insight into their craft and inspiration.
