CCLI's Top 100 is a benchmark for many Christian songwriters who are specifically writing songs for churches to sing. CCLI puts out a list of their Top 100 two times per year: once in the Fall and once in the Spring.

This is a list of a few songs that made the biggest climb based on the latest report. See also Top 100 Worship Songs from CCLI.

Without a doubt, having a song land in the CCLI Top 100 is a significant benchmark for any Christian songwriter.

The list may be static, and the songs might be dated, but it still represents a snapshot in time of significant trends in worship from churches all across the nation. This list is based on results from the USA and gets updated twice a year. See also Songs on the Rise from CCLI.
