replies: text: I expanded it from a stub. Apparently, the song is notable for crossing over from Christian radio to mainstream radio. Noelle De Guzman 14:47, 15 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text:  I don't understand why everyone wants to destroy Wikipedia's pages, this is a well made page about a good song which can be used as reference for this band's fans. Do not delete articles unless all the information on it is false or it is extreamly small. 132.203.54.89 16:38, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

message: I found this source through a google search: http://www.mikecurb.com/about/pdf/1_records.pdf
It seems to be a comprehensive history of all of Curb Record's number 1 singles. Among other things, it lists Imagine as spending ten weeks atop the Billboard Singles Sales chart and two weeks atop a 'Christian Adult Contemporary' chart. I was wondering if the rest of you would consider this a legitimate source for that type of information. Just as a note, the single catalog number (73150) matches the number the Barnes and Noble site uses. Toa Nidhiki05 16:18, 20 August 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: It looks like a self-published website, so I would say no per WP:USERG. Surely that information can be found elsewhere. I look directly at the official website for Billboard since it's the real source. While researching I found this which says that this song was the #9 most digital download of the year - IN 2010! Does the article mention that the song was re-released on a retrospective album  ? Royalbroil 12:54, 10 September 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I know - the song rarely ever leaves the top ten on iTunes. Perhaps someone that has a .biz account can check the information, because those charts (and histories) are on the .biz site? We know the date the source claims, so at least that is something. I don't have one (I think the prices are absurd), but maybe someone else does? Toa Nidhiki05 13:42, 10 September 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Apparently Billboard.biz has a search thing so that you can see the charted songs an artist has had, but unless you are a member, you can't view the peak position. Perhaps we could get someone to look for us. Toa Nidhiki05 19:06, 10 September 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Just an update, Mike Curb.com is linked to at the top right corner of Curb.com. Accordingly, I'm quoting that 'Curb Records asserts the song peaked at' those spots until we find someone to look through the Billboard archives. Toa Nidhiki05 19:55, 11 September 2011 (UTC)

replies: text: I Can Only Imagine (MercyMe song) →  – The article for this song receives many multiples of the number of views that I Can Only Imagine (David Guetta song) receives. I Can Only Imagine (MercyMe song) is the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. This article should be moved to "I Can Only Imagine", with a disambiguation page link at the top.

text: Those last two (widely covered and made into a movie) are the reasons I'm supporting a move, especially the movie. That's pretty unique. That being said I'm not entirely convinced here and I'm a fan of the band, so take that with a grain of salt. Toa Nidhiki05 01:32, 9 November 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: Aren't the pageview statistics worldwide? And I don't see how the most-played CCM song of all time is not the primary topic compared to a fairly minor pop song that was briefly popular in parts of Europe and the US. Instaurare (talk) 07:13, 10 November 2017 (UTC)

I Can Only Imagine is known for the best song ever written on the face the earth. It is considered the "in" song of the 2000s. EVERYBODY loves it, so if a person doesn't like the hit, they are stupid!  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.169.104.179 (talk) 23:49, 25 September 2018 (UTC)
