Podcasting Report

Podcasting at LifeChurch.tv has totally blown up over the past few months. In the last 5 months we have averaged over 14 TB of monthly transfer just in podcasts alone. That is Terabytes, not Gigabytes. I would guess that total monthly transfer with all we do would be in the neighborhood of 22-23 TB’s.

For our licensing requirements we have to report quarterly on the music that is downloaded. I thought I would share with you the top 20 worship songs that are downloaded and how many….so here ya go.

Song | Artist | # of times downloaded
All Because of Jesus | Steve Fee | 28340
Everlasting God | Lincoln Brewster | 22520
Beautiful the Blood | Steve Fee | 17524
Songs of the Redeemed | Charlie Hall | 14765
Now is the Time | Delirious? | 13781
Happy Day | Tim Hughes | 13383
Yours Alone | Phil Wickham | 12402
Solid Rock | Delirious? | 12383
Can’t Stop | Leeland | 12027
Majesty | Delirious? | 11612
Came to My Rescue | Hillsong United | 11201
Look to You | Hillsong United | 10976
Jesus’ Blood | Delirious? | 10405
One Way | Hillsong United | 9980
Prodigal | Sonic Flood | 9666
Salvation is Here | Hillsong United | 9600
Do Not Move | David Crowder Band | 9085
You are Good | Lincoln Brewster | 8852
Take My Life | Jeremy Camp | 8756
O Praise Him | David Crowder Band | 8079

So there ya go. Not sure if you care, but I thought is was really cool. Totally amazing that in 3 months we served up 506,022 audio mp3s. Watch out iTunes. (just kidding)

  • Isn’t it incredible the way we can spread the message! This is awesome. Keep up the GREAT work. You guys are sharpening all of us.

    One question for you, does lightcast catch all those stats for you or do you use another program? We have to find something to help us capture that same information. Any help is appreciated.

  • Is that via itunes or are those from the lifechurch site somehwere?

  • Wow! Those numbers are pretty amazing! Those servers are really working!

  • What license do you have that you can provide songs for download? How does that work? Is it on your site somewhere?

  • Would you be able to do a post on what license you guys use for podcasting the worship songs. This is something we would really like to do but don’t know how to do it legally.

    Thanks!

  • Have you ever considered using bittorrent to help with the bandwidth issues? I could definitely see using torrents for the Open content (especially the ISO DVD images)
