Hope everyone had a safe & thoughtful Memorial Day – We had a few surprises & a bit of a shakeup this charting cycle – Another big Congratulations goes out to Mercy’s Won/”Remember, God Forgets” for moving holding onto the #1 position here on Simply Southern Gospel’s Top 40 making them 4 Weeks @ #1! (bravo to you) Mercy’s Won also swept the “Top Takes” this cycle including: “Top Votes Total”, Top Domestic Votes”, “Top International Votes” & “Top Commented”! This is the third #1 song for Mercy’s Won here on Simply Southern Gospel’s Top 40: “His Love Can Reach That Far” & “New Day Has Dawned In Me” both songs spent 4 Weeks @ #1 as well! Mercy’s Won fans answered the call and delivered, what a supportive bunch they are!  More about Mercy’s Won/”Remember, God Forgets” by scrolling down the page to “#1 Insight” or visit our website for more details at SimplySouthernGospel! - Blake & Jenna Bolerjack/”The Battle Belongs To The King” took a +4-point gain into the #2 position, this song has swiftly moved up the chart, keep an eye on this one! – Fields Of Grace/”You Saved My Life” had a big gain of their own jumping +6-points into the #3 spot this cycle, another song that took the fast train into the Top Five, use your other eye to watch this one too! – This next one was a surprise to us as The Justified Quartet/”Beyond The Storm” dropped to the #4 slot this cycle. This is such a great song & the drop was totally unexpected! Cyndi Reynolds/”At War With Myself” moved into the Top Five at #5. It seems that Cyndi’s fans had finally caught up with each other, got the memo & mostly all responded within a 6 day span… God sure knows how to move hearts! …So many awesome songs to watch, not enough eyes! Lol! Congratulations to an amazing Top Five & all of the great Top 40 charting artists & groups!​
