About this episode

This episode features highlights from MercyMe's performance at the Grand Ole Opry, Lauren Daigle's concert at Carnegie Hall, and a countdown of the top Christian songs.

This week on 20 The Countdown Magazine, MercyMe has a big night at the Grand Ole Opry celebrating the upcoming I Can Only Imagine 2, and Bart Millard gets to watch his son make his Opry debut. Lauren Daigle checks another iconic venue off the list with a stunning performance at Carnegie Hall alongside Jamie MacDonald, and we tag along with CAIN for a Disney birthday celebration. There’s a lot of movement inside the Top 10, a powerful Future Fan Favorite from Brian and Katie Torwalt, and your votes are now open between new music from Tasha Layton and Cochren & Co. Plus, the 20 Throwback takes us back to 2016 for the song that introduced many of us to Zach Williams. All that, along with the 20 biggest songs in Christian music this week, counted down from coast to coast. 20 The Countdown Magazine is listener-supported.
