I recently came across this site, http://www.praisecharts.com/ccli-top-100.
What I discovered was a marvelous list of the top 100 praise charts from awhile ago.

but I kind of get the feeling I am a bit behind and could keep posting more.

"Contemporary worship music (CWM) is a loosely defined genre of Christian music used in contemporary worship. It has developed over the past sixty years and is stylistically similar to pop music. The songs are frequently referred to as "praise songs" or "worship songs" and are typically led by a "worship band" or "praise team", with either a guitarist or pianist leading"...
