“#1 Insight”– Novemberber 15, 2025 -

#1 - Down East Boys/”When Believers Will Be Leaving”


Congratulations to the Down East Boys/”When Believers Will Be Leaving” for jumping +4 points into the #1 position this cycle on Simply Southern Gospel’s Top 40! Down East Boys/”When Believers Will Be Leaving” also garnered 2 “Top Takes” this round including “Top Vote Total” & “Top Domestic Vote” (Bravo guys)! When a song reaches the #1 position, we like to go back and map out the journey it took to get there. Down East Boys/”When Believers Will Be Leaving” entered the Top 40 chart back on August 15th at #33 – September 1st chart saw the song become the “Top Mover” as it took a +14-point jolt to #19 – come September 15th chart, Down East Boys had another surge up to #11 – October 1st saw a modest move to #7 – the logjam at the top slowed movement down, so much so that October 15th, When Believers Will Be Leaving” came to a standstill, holding position at #7 – sometimes this is a bad sign, but a lot of great songs were stuck during this time – Come November 1st chart, the song continued its upward move to #5 – Today November 15th, the Down East Boys/”When Believers Will Be Leaving claimed the #1 position on Simply Southern Gospel’s Top 40! This is proof that God knows what he’s doing! Comments, yup, we have plenty of them: Bill Compton of Smyrna TN USA wrote: “an uplifting and encouraging song for these bleak times” – Chloe Eldridge of North Charleston SC USA said: “I look forward to leaving this world, what a happy song, love listening to your station” – SSG: Hi Bill, I think we all feel the same way! Lol Thanks for voting, writing in & listening!  -  Retta Darling of Augusta ME USA shared: “makes my spirit soar and my heart sing, it has my vote” – E. Portman of London GB added: “toe tapping, hand clapping classic Southern Gospel at it’s best, love it” - Learn more about the Down East Boys, their schedule, music, ministry & news by visiting: www.DownEastBoys.com!

OVERVIEW: “TOP 40 - Chart Overview”/ “Chart Insider & “#1 Insight” for November 15, 2025!

 

A lot of build-up happened behind the now dissolved logjam, & the chart literally exploded from the back pressure that it totally rearranged the Top Five & gave us a new #1 song as well as causing the lower chart movements to slow to a crawl!  Congratulations to the Down East Boys/”When Believers Will Be Leaving” for jumping +4 points into the #1 position this cycle on Simply Southern Gospel’s Top 40! Down East Boys/”When Believers Will Be Leaving” also garnered 2 “Top Takes” this round including “Top Vote Total” & “Top Domestic Vote” (Bravo guys)! More about the Down East Boys/”When Believers Will be Leaving” by scrolling down the page to “#1 Insights” – A total rearrangement of the “Top Five” occurred with KT&T/This Side Of The Grave” surging +2-points into the #2 position, noting KT&T nearly overtook the #1 spot (it was very close), but they did manage to take the “Top Commented” this cycle – The Taylors/”The Well” made a huge +6-point leap into the #3 spot & also took  the “Top International Votes” this cycle, this song has strong momentum! – The Erwins/”Joy Is Gonna Come” took an impressive +4-point jump of their own to #4 & Phillips & Banks/”I Know What It Can Do” got bumped down to #5!  The voting was so strong this cycle that even after 6 Weeks @ #1, Peach Goldman/”For My Good” was bumped to #6 from #1 -  for all those making small gains or prematurely losing some ground, there’s still time to recover!  Congrats to all of the Top Five & all the charting artists!   Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!
