To find out how to have your new or previously-released Gospel song (any style of Gospel) critiqued by us and possibly charted above, call us at 305-234-8689.  NOTE:   Our Top 30 Chart is not based on product sales or air play - but rather, it is based solely on whether or not the song or CD is commercially ready for the national market.  We award 1 - 10 points in each of 10 categories -- including sound quality, originality, vocal ability, musicianship, packaging, marketing and even the design of the CD cover.  The points are totaled and the highest-scoring songs are listed numerically on the chart.   There is a one-time service fee of only $125 ($75 with any size ad) to have a song critiqued by us, but paying the fee does not guarantee the song will make the chart.  Making the chart is achieved solely on the merits of the song itself.   We invite you to listen to each of these songs and judge for yourself (if the option is available).
