Top 100 Songs of 2020 and 25 Most Played Artists of the Year

Legacy Five takes the #1 Song of the Year this year. Even though the song only spent four weeks in the #1 spot over the course of the year, “I Believe the Book”‘s impressive 37 week run on the chart was enough to take the crown this year as well. The chart saw a total of 18 songs reach the #1 spot by 14 different artists. Four artists shot multiple songs to the top spot – Karen Peck & New River (“The God I Serve” and “Made Right”), Bowling Family (“The People That God Gives You” and “Behold the Lamb”), Tribute Quartet (“The Healer Hasn’t Lost His Touch” and “Fear Not”), and The Perrys (“It Never Gets Old” and “Never a Time”).
