Well, we have a new #1 song this week in Rachael Belman, "Never the Same" Congratulations Rachael. Also there were a couple of songs that have been on the charts a very long time, "Held by Love" by Ed Petersen , Got a New life by "T" Roy Taylor, and Desires of my Heart" by Pat Skinner.  All three were great songs that were on the charts from 6 weeks to 12 weeks. Nice run of all three songs.. Its songs like these that sets the standard, raises the bar, here at IGA. and its good to see that.

With three that came off the chart 3 new one came on ... so the chart is always fresh each week. We also have a Real Bullet Song offer from Gary Weldon Sr. Gary is well known in the IndieGospelArtists picture. He has many songs to his credit that are listed in his page. Please check them out.. But this one song that he entered into the mix. was so different that I had to listen to it twice back to back, so stunning, so different.. Outrageous!  Nice Job Gary! "Tell The Devil".. you do that Gary... and we will too... "Tell That Devil" where to get off! Amen!!

So let's get on with the Countdown  I think I will go from #13 on up to #1....

#13 is of course The Past Number 1 from previous chart listings This week its #1 song from the week of 2-20-11

        "Growing" by Barry Winslow

#12  The Honorable Mention:  "Eternal Weight" by Leoni Gardner.. it is a nice easy song to listen to. nice lyrics and a great voice.

#11  This Weeks Bullet Song ... Gary Weldon Sr. and "TELL The Devil"  Definitely a challenging hard hitting song!

#10  Song of the week is "God's Been Good" by Kelly Manu I like the way she does this song.. kinda cool

#09  Song of the Week is "He Walked Alone" by Ed Petersen Good song .. done very tastefullly ... you will like it too.

#8   song of the Week is  "Noah's Ark" by Mike Abrams .. I love it ... great song .. short funny still with a message

#7   Song of the Week is "He's Coming Home" by Sound Doctrine from Eureka, Ca ... I will do a blurb on these guys later on, on the whole band.... Nice job guys (and lady)

#6  Song of the Week is "Without Jesus" by AFC Praise.. this group had a great Cleveland sound harmonies. Check them out at their page and just dig on their harmonies ..

#5  song of the Week is  "Why didn't You Tell Me" by Barry and Teena Winslow ... Barry is like Gary Weldon Sr. a regular here at IndieGospelArtists group.. He is knowledgable on Christian Music, knows his way around the music business and definitely knows how to produce a song to display its qualities right and get the message out. Congrats on "Why didnt you Tell Me" Barry and Teena.. Nice job....

#4  Song of the week is "You Botered With Me" by Angela Dittmar.. Last Week's Number 1 song ... as I said before this song is totally differetn. the way she brought out the fact that the Almighty God, the Lord  Jesus would take time out for one little person, as He does with all of us in just incredible when you think about it. The humnbleness comes out in her songs "You Bothered With Me".. so she wrote this song just to say thank you to HIM... I wish I had written this song... good job Ang...

#3  Song of the Week is "I'm in your Hands" by Jimmy Workman ... love the 6/8 tempo ... and the organ that sounds really close to a B3.. its a great touch... You love me Lord I'm in Your Hands ... yeah great lyrics Jimmy... I'm in a quandry.. there's so many songs on this list this week.. it was really hard to figure out which was where? oh I Just Love it...

#2  Song of the week has shot up the charts really quickly ... it is in its 5th week and already #2.  "I Depend On You" by Vince Brown smooth ... this song was put on Indie Gospel Artists last year but I have to admit there was so many songs out there to choose from It didnt really get a fair shot at the charts. So I brought out and put it on here It is a  great song ... check it out ... Vince you have any more songs to present to us? Good Talent...

#1  Song of the Week is by a young lady by the name of Rachel Belman and she's had another song on the list entitled "The Essence of My Soul" which made it to #1 also.. This Week's #1 song is "Never The Same"  Rachel you keep writing and singing girl.. that talent is coming out for the Lord and that's what He wants.. amen

And there you have it  This Week's Top Ten (+)Bullet Song, Honorable Mention Song, and the Past #1 Songs for the Week.

Blessings to you all and have a  Great Week!!

In Him,

James
