I like looking at stats.
I've had to report to our licensing agency (CCLI) every song we've done from April 1 to September 30 - so, yeah, only one more month-plus to go in my reporting period). I think it can safely be said that we sing a good number and variety of songs at CCJ.
Here's some stats regarding the music we sing together at CCJ.
120: Songs played since April 1 (A.M. Services & 1 Burner Coffeehouse)
71: Total DIFFERENT copyrighted and non-copyrighted songs we've sung since April 1.
57: Number of copyrighted songs we've sung.
31: Songs we have sung only once in the reporting period.
26: Songs we have sung more than once in the period (20 of the multiple-sung songs have been sung 2 times).
14: Public Domain hymns sung not reported to CCLI (some hymns we do are still under copyright so this isn't the total number of hymns, just the total number of non-copyrighted hymns).
13: Songs written, co-written or hymns arranged by Chris Tomlin that we have sung.
5: David Crowder's numbers (Tomlin & Crowder are numbers 1 & 2)
4: Times we've sung "Mighty To Save" and "O, For A Thousand Tongues To Sing" (the most sung songs in this period).
3: Times we've sung "Give Us Clean Hands," "Love the Lord," "Mission's Flame" and "Your Grace Is Enough"
2: Number of times we've played a song written by the guy who sung "Your Cheatin' Heart" (Hank Williams Sr.)
1: Songs written by CCJ'ers that are not reported to CCLI (soon to be 2. I hope we can get this number up in the coming years).
