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

With so many great songs currently in the Top 40, it takes a special song to maintain 6 Weeks @ #1! So, a huge Congratulations to Peach Goldman/”For My Good” for doing just that this cycle on Simply Southern Gospel’s Top 40! Peach Goldman/”For My Good” also swept the “Top Takes” this round including: “Top Total Votes”, “Top Domestic Votes (USA), “Top International Votes” & “Top Commented” – Bravo to you for 6 Weeks @ #1 - More about Peach Goldman /”For My Good” by scrolling down the page to #1 Insights! With a new logjam at the top spot now for 6 weeks, it causes everything below it to get tighter, move much slower, and unfortunately causes some songs to prematurely drop points in the squeeze – with that said, the Top Five went through a bit of reorganization – Liberty Quartet/”The Beauty Of His Grace” stepped up into the #2 position – Phillips & Banks/”I Know What It Can Do” jumped into the #3 spot – KT&T/”This Side Of The Grave” took a +2-point leap to #4 & The Down East Boys/”When Believers Will Be Leaving” also gained 2-points to take #5! Congrats to all of the Top Five!    

​

“Top Mover” – Our “Top Mover” this cycle goes to The Allens/”Kingdom Come” who managed an impressive +13-point leap from  #28 to #15! in this slow moving logjam – Only two other artists garnered “Top Mover” status (+10-point gain); Brian Free & Assurance/“Behind My Praise” gained +12-points entering the chart @ #28 & The Collingsworth Family/”We’ll Understand It Better Bye & Bye” had a +11-point surge from #37 to #26! (Bravo to you all!)

“Top New Entry” –Brian Free & Assurance/”Behind My Praise” not only made their grand debut as a “Hot Mover” entering at #28 they were also the “Top New Entry”! You voted three other new releases into the “Top 40” this cycle; The Freemans/”I’m Gonna Make It” got your attention @ #37 – The Lefevre Quartet/”When My Feet Touch The Streets Of Gold” Debuted @  #39 – & The Lawsons/”Way Too Long” grabbed that #40 spot. Congrats & welcome to all!
