2007 was a great year in Christian music. Excellent new music came from new faces and old favorites. The Top 40 Christian Hits of 2007 comes from charts like R&R, Billboard, and of course, About.com and is based on how many weeks any given song stayed in the Top 10.

Word RecordsWith a bit of a country flair, "How You Live (Turn Up The Music)," the title track off of the quartet's latest release, is a delightful tune with some strong meaning and a message that we all need to remember.

Courtesy of: EMIChris Tomlin puts a new spin on a classic hymn by adding the very powerful praise chorus "My Chains Are Gone." As always, Chris does a fine job of bringing a classic to the fore-front of the 21st Century.

EMI Gospel"Encourage Yourself" is off of
The Grand Finale: Encourage Yourself. Very "old school" church, this tune touches your heart.

Brash MusicOff of his sophomore album,
Whispered And Shouted, Aaron Shust sums up a problem that many of us have with "Give Me Words To Speak."
Cause I can’t think of anything worth saying
But I know that I owe You my life
So give me Words to speak

EMI"Only the World" is off of Mandisa's debut CD,
True Beauty, which hit stores on July 31, 2007.

Courtesy of: Provident"Break Me Down" is the third radio release off of
End Of Silence. Another great, rockin' song off of a great album, "Break Me Down" rocks a little harder than "Already Over."

Six Steps RecordsYes, you've heard this song before (think Passion), but the Remedy version is inspired and impressive.

BEC Recordings"Believe" is off of
Become Who You Are. Modern rock with tons of inspiration and hope throughout, this is a great showing from this new band.
