I have a dedicated post analyzing the Sunday after Thanksgiving. Spoiler: Joy to the World (#201) and Oh, Come, All Ye Faithful (#202) historically have had a huge spike on December 1st! hymnstats.joeystanley.com/posts/week-a...

Weekly check-in! What hymns did/will your ward sing today? (How popular do you think one of the new Christmas ones will be?)

Weekly check-in! What hymns will/did your ward sing in sacrament meeting today? It’s peak Thanksgiving season so I’m expecting fewer new hymns this week. hymnstats.joeystanley.com/posts/thanks...

More on the 2024 Church Music Festival from this past weekend:

Around 20% of wards (that I have data from) sang I Believe in Christ (#134) last Sunday, most likely because it's mentioned in this week's Come, Follow Me lesson. As it turns out, hymns mentioned in Come, Follow Me see a huge spike in popularity that week. hymnstats.joeystanley.com/posts/come_f...

Love these musical festivals!

"Come, come ye saints...."
