Exactly 150 hits created 157 weeks of Top 10 Christian hit music charts based on personal preference and influenced by radio airplay. Here it is – my Top 20 hits of the past 3 years:

“Nobody (But Jesus)” – Casting Crowns Ft. Matthew West [peaked at # 1 for 7 weeks]
“Do It Again” – Elevation Worship [# 1 for 4 weeks]
“Even Then” – Micah Tyler [# 1 for 3 weeks]
“Grace Got You” – MercyMe [# 1 for 2 weeks]
“Church (Take Me Back)” – Cochren & Co. [# 1 for 4 weeks]
“Known” – Tauren Wells [# 2 for 2 weeks]
“Broken Things” – Matthew West [# 1 for 6 weeks]
“Even If” – MercyMe [# 1 for 2 weeks]
“Fear No More” – Building 429 [# 1 for 6 weeks]
“Dead Man Walking” – Jeremy Camp [# 1 for 4 weeks]
“Nobody Loves Me Like You” – Chris Tomlin [# 1 for 4 weeks]
“Different” – Micah Tyler [# 1 for 4 weeks]
“Home” – Chris Tomlin [# 1 for 2 weeks]

“Who You Say I Am” – Hillsong Worship [# 1 for 4 weeks]
“Maybe It’s OK” – We Are Messengers [# 1 for 3 weeks]
“Born Again” – Austin French [# 1 for 3 weeks]
“Oh My Soul” – Casting Crowns [# 1 for 1 week]

My # 1 smash of 2019 and my # 1 smash of 2018 are my Top 2 hits of the past 3 years respectively. My # 1 smash of 2017 is at # 7 overall.

All but 1 of my Top 20 hits was a # 1 smash. Tauren Wells’ “Known” placed way up at # 6 overall. It spent 30 weeks in a row on my chart including 17 weeks in my Top 5. The other 19 out of 20 hits represent 77 weeks (almost half of the total number of weeks) at # 1.

Casting Crowns scores a hat trick with 3 of my Top 20 hits. I consider them as well as MercyMe as my 2 favorite bands right now. I’ll be seeing both of them LIVE in concert in March and April. Matthew West opens for Casting Crowns, and Jeremy Camp opens for MercyMe. I’ll be singing along loudly from the floor.

What a fun chart to compile, and what a wonderful 3 years it has been listening to K-LOVE on the radio. This chart was compiled by awarding 10 points for each week at # 1, 9 points for # 2, and so forth and so on down to 1 point for # 10. The points are then added, and the hits are ranked.

This concludes another weekend of blog posts. I’ll do it again next weekend – with 4 new entries on Thursday, Friday, Sunday, and Monday. I don’t blog on Saturdays. That’s my day of rest.

Your likes, follows, and comments are always appreciated. Thank You for being part of my online ministry to share God’s Good News and win souls for Christ through His music. I’m also on Twitter @ChrisMDay, and I’m the man behind the tweets for my church @LivingWatersHFL.

Enjoy this new week my friends ! May the God of hope fill you completely with joy and peace as you trust in Him.
