#1. Elevation Rhythm - Goodbye Yesterday
Track: Goodbye Yesterday
Artist: Elevation Rhythm
Album: Victory Lap
In a wild turn of events, a year in which hard rock and metal was absolutely king of the new music empire here at Jester One, it was a worship song that ended up taking the #1 slot. It wasn't as big of a landslide as it was from the last 3 years, where the #1 track was a runaway pick at the top in terms of both plays and impact. But there was no doubt at the mindway point of 2025 that it was going to take a strong new release to push Elevation Rhythm back.
We have to scroll back to 2019 to find the last worship song that splashed in, with James Truslow's "Overwhelmed" taking the #18 spot that year. Bethel Music's "Goodness of God" almost snuck in that year, and last year "Praise" by Elevation Worship just missed, but the absolute explosion that happened the first time I heard "Goodbye Yesterday" at church, and the tremendous dual chorus between singers Nate Diaz and Gracie Binion just knocks me backwards every time I listen to this song.
What a wild year.
Favorite line: "Again and again and again and again, you rescued me out of the mess I was in. You traded my sorrow for something to sing, now I'm dancin' on the grave that I once lived in"
