OVERVIEW: “TOP 40 - Chart Overview”/ “Chart Insider & “#1 Insight” for August 1, 2026! -

​

Can’t believe it’s already August, what a whirlwind year!  - Speaking of a “whirlwind”, we’ve had something like that hit the top of our charts this cycle! A big Congratulations to Nicole Norton/”Wounds for moving into the #1 position here on God’s Music Today’s Top 40! This is Nicole Norton’s third #1 song (“Don’t You Dare Give Up” & ”You Never Fail”) here on God’s Music Today! – Nicole Norton/”Wounds” also swept the “Top Takes” this cycle including: “Top Total Votes”, “Top Domestic Vote”, “Top International Vote” & “Top Commented” – The votes were very close again this charting period, we had a surge in international votes which helped to pushed Nicole‘s “Wounds” over the top. Again, congrats Nicole for moving hearts through Christ! Learn more about Nicole Norton/”Wounds” by scrolling down to “#1 Insight” or visit our website at: www.GodsMusicToday.com -  Haley Jones/”All We Can Do Is Pray” made un upward jolt into the #2 spot, as we mentioned the tight voting, Haley just barely missed #1, but there’s another shot coming! – Michael Sarver/”Limitless” unfortunately fell from #1 into the #3 spot. This is due to four songs (Limitless”, “More Like You”, “Count It All Joy” & “Wonderful God”) being released close together and causing the votes to be divided up, so much so that “More Like You” which entered at #40 last cycle fell off the chart. It’s all about numbers so please refrain from unpleasant emails (lol) Also a good time to remind everyone you can vote for more than one song on one vote, but you can only vote once in the two weeks cycle… read the instructions so your vote(s) will count. – Caleb & John feat: Steven Curtis Chapman / “Proud” jumped +3-points to the #4 position landing in a great spot to leap forward – Speaking of forward momentum, Aaron Justice/”Strength Of A Survivor” certainly has momentum as he takes the #5 position also putting him in the perfect position for an upward jump! The rest of our Top 10 is also occupied by very strong songs just having moved there!  Congratulations to the Top Five songs & all the charting artists in the Top 40 on God’s Music Today!
