According to Christian Copyright Licensing International, "In Christ Alone" ranks as the No. 1 most-sung song in U.K. churches and the 8th most-sung song in North American churches. Written by Townend and Getty 15 years ago, the song was also sited as the 9th "best loved hymn" in the UK according to a survey conducted by the BBC's "Songs of Praise" program. Not surprisingly, "In Christ Alone" has been recorded by a variety of artists including Philips, Craig & Dean, Newsboys, Kristian Stanfill/Passion, Natalie Grant and Owl City's Adam Young. The song has also been used in global church conferences and celebrations including the enthronement ceremony for Justin Welby, the Archbishop of Canterbury.
