July 11, 2022 – CountUp

Every Monday I post my all-new Top 10 Christian hit music chart based on personal preference and influenced by radio airplay from the previous week. It’s the continuation of a weekly hobby that goes back nearly 45 years. Here’s this week’s chart – for the week ending Sunday July 10TH 2022 – the 282ND week of this current era that began on Presidents’ Day Weekend of 2017:

TW	LW	WKS	SONG TITLE	ARTIST / SITE
1	4	4	Getting Started [1ST week @ # 1]	Jeremy Camp
2	1	10	Me On Your Mind	Matthew West
3	3	7	Love Is Everything We Need	Unspoken
4	2	22	Sunday Sermons	Anne Wilson
5	5	4	Hold You Tight	Dan Bremnes
6	8	24	See Me Through It	Brandon Heath
7	9	24	Brighter Days	Blessing Offor
8	6	16	Fill My Cup	Andrew Ripp
9	–	1	The Goodness	TobyMac Ft. Blessing Offor
10	10	3	Thank God For Sunday Morning	Cochren & Co.

# 1 This Week In:
2021 – “Be Alright” – Evan Craft X Danny Gokey X Redimi2
2020 – “Keep Me In The Moment” – Jeremy Camp
2019 – “Church (Take Me Back)” – Cochren & Co.
2018 – “Do It Again” – Elevation Worship
2017 – “The Comeback” – Danny Gokey

NEW # 1 – This one surprised even me, and this is my own chart. After just 2 weeks at # 1 (as my 500TH # 1) Matthew West slips unexpectedly to # 2 with “Me On Your Mind”. Replacing Matthew is another one of my favorite singers – Jeremy Camp. His 7TH single since 2017 (8TH overall) is now his 4TH # 1 smash, as “Getting Started” ascends to the top. Released as a radio single in late-February it took a little while to become a hit. It’s his 2ND single from his 2021 album “When You Speak” which he wrote in 2020 during the onset and peak of the pandemic.

UNSPOKEN – Their 5TH single is a Top 3 hit, and I love its feel on the radio. I also love its lyrics – particularly these:

♫ The devil is crafty and we fall right into his trap
We might not be swinging our fists
But we’ll talk behind somebody’s back
How we gonna look like Jesus
When we’re only looking out for ourselves
Real love is giving our lives for somebody else ♫

That’ll preach, for “Love Is Everything We Need”.

This concludes another weekend of blog posts. I’ll do it again with the new weekend – and 4 new entries – known as #TravelThursday, #RetroFriday, #SundayScripture, and #Top10Monday.
