Ultimate 100 Christian Rock Songs of 2014
I know, I know. Countdowns like this usually appear at the end of the year, or at least sometime in January. However, we here at Metronome Musicbox believe that the placement of some songs can only come once they have completely fallen off the charts. Some songs just kept hanging on for dear life during the first quarter of 2015. Anyway, this chart is based heavily on Billboard's weekly Christian Rock chart, using a special formula to calculate how well each song did throughout the year. Here's the full list. Let us know what you think in the comments!
