For King and Country’s “For God Is With Us” fell to No. 3, Andrew Ripp’s “Fill Your Cup” edged up to No. 4 and Phil Wickham’s “Hymn of Heaven” slipped one spot to No. 5.

Jon Reddick’s “God Turn It Around” fell from the Top 40 after 38 weeks. The song entered the chart on November 21, spent 27 weeks in the Top 20 and 11 weeks in the Top 10, and peaked at No. 4.
