WINNER Stars - Switchfoot |
Second: Take You Back - Jeremy Camp Third: This Is Your Life - Switchfoot Analysis Switchfoot's "Stars" toppled AC Single champ "Take You Back" to earn the title of CHR Single Of The Year. Switchfoot also had enough support to claim third place with "This Is Your Life". And if you're a fan of the Southern California band, you'll probably want to keep reading.... |
WINNER Pray - CeCe Winans |
Second: Heaven - Mary Mary Third: Gonna Lift Your Name - Anointed Analysis This quickly emerged as a two-artist race between Gospel giants CeCe Winans and Mary Mary. "Heaven" had a big lead early on and appeared to be coasting to an easy win until "Pray" came storming back to take home an extremely narrow win. |
Second: Homesick - MercyMe Third: Held - Natalie Grant Analysis Voting centered around four mega-hits: "Held" by Natalie Grant, "Holy Is The Lord" by Chris Tomlin, "Homesick" by MercyMe, and "Lifesong" by Casting Crowns. At the end of this day, voters signed their name to "Lifesong", as Casting Crowns pulled out the win by a mere two votes. |
Second: Are You Real? - KJ-52 (with Jon Micah) Third: We Don't Play - GRITS Analysis The combination of John Reuben and Matt Thiessen from Relient K was a winning one for voters, beating out another pairing, KJ-52 and Jon Micah from Kutless, to earn the Rhythmic Single Of The Year award for "Nuisance". GRITS also received strong voter support to finish third with "We Don't Play". |
Second: Caroline - Seventh Day Slumber Third: The Wait Is Over - Disciple Analysis Not many artists have the kind of versatile popularity that stretches from adult contemporary fans to rock enthusiasts. Jeremy Camp proved he does, however, picking up his second CCMSingles.Net Award, this time for Rock Single Of The Year. Camp barely edged out two bands that both had huge years, Seventh Day Slumber and Disciple. |
WINNER Held - Natalie Grant |
Second: Casting Crowns Third: Seventh Day Slumber Analysis Based on the results of the previous categories, it should come as no surprise that Switchfoot earned the CCMSingles.Net Awards' top honor, Radio Artist Of The Year. Casting Crowns and Seventh Day Slumber finished a very respectable second and third, but this was clearly Switchfoot's day with five total awards. Congratulations to Switchfoot and their fans! |
