This week on 20 The Countdown Magazine, there’s a shakeup near the top of the chart as several artists continue making big moves heading into summer! CeCe Winans climbs higher into the Top 10, Phil Wickham debuts a brand new song on the chart, and we throw it back to Matthew West’s 2016 hit “Grace Wins.” You’ll also hear the latest Christian music news, including Forrest Frank turning a fan challenge into a brand new music project, CeCe Winans announcing her first-ever devotional book, and thousands gathering in Washington, D.C. for Rededicate 250 with worship led by Chris Tomlin. Plus, we crown a new Future Fan Favorite winner and introduce two brand new songs for you to vote on for next week’s show!

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. Tune in for a cohesive, weekly snapshot that goes beyond the chart numbers to celebrate the community and creativity within contemporary Christian music. Whether you're a longtime fan or just curious about the landscape, this show offers a consistent and engaging way to discover new favorites and understand the voices behind them.
