@jontylangley@Christianitymag Thanks @jontylangley for covering our research at @worshipresearch. We’re thrilled it’s reached readers at Premier Christianity. Some of our team members will be in Oxford in early Aug presenting our research at Ripon College. Interested in chatting more about this?
Since 2017, every Top 25 worship song has been a single. Believe it or not, this represented a sudden and unprecedented change.
Why did it happen? And how might this have changed what we find ourselves singing today?

@KDMusic3@marcjolicoeur@TheWorshipRev Thanks, Dave. I’ll have this song ringing in my mind throughout the day. Some great purposeful theology throughout the song—soteriology, early, and sanctification in v.3. The benediction at the end was great, too. Very inspiring. Much appreciated.
This article launched our study and, with the help of many others, has kept us on our toes the past month. Thanks for the constructive critique and helpful comments. We’ll continue to seek methodological integrity in this process. @adam_a_perez @marcjolicoeur@eliasdummer
