October 3, 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 October 02ND 2022 – the 294TH week of this current era that began on Presidents’ Day Weekend of 2017:

TW	LW	WKS	SONG TITLE	ARTIST / SITE
1	1	8	Good Morning Mercy [3RD week @ # 1]	Jason Crabb
2	2	7	New Creation	Mac Powell
3	3	15	Thank God For Sunday Morning	Cochren & Co.
4	5	6	Build A Boat	Colton Dixon
5	4	16	Hold You Tight	Dan Bremnes
6	6	4	Miracle Power	We The Kingdom
7	7	4	God Is In This Story	Katy Nichole Ft. Big Daddy Weave
8	8	4	Perfectly Loved	Rachael Lampa Ft. TobyMac
9	–	1	Love Me Like I Am	for King & Country Ft. Jordin Sparks
10	–	1	Ain’t Nobody	Cody Carnes

2021 – “What If” – Matthew West
2020 – “God So Loved” – We The Kingdom

2017 – “Broken Things” – Matthew West

NEW MONTH / NEW CHARTS / NEW MUSIC – Welcome to October and the start of the final 3-month / 13-week stretch of 2022. On Monday December 26TH 2022 I’ll present my final Top 10 chart of the year, and the very next day – Tuesday December 27TH 2022 – I’ll present “My Top 22 Hits Of 2022”. My Top 5 hits this week are guaranteed a spot on my end-of-year chart, and maybe a few of the newer hits below it could surge between now and Christmas and earn a spot on the #22.

CODY CARNES – I’m really liking the new and catchy Cody Carnes song “Ain’t Nobody”. This is actually his 2ND appearance on my chart. He collaborated with Kari Jobe (his wife) and Elevation Worship exactly 2 years ago with “The Blessing”. It peaked at # 2 for 3 weeks.

This concludes another weekend of blog posts. I’ll do it again with the new weekend – and 5 new entries – starting with a #SpecialWednesday post, and then continuing with #TravelThursday, #RetroFriday, #SundayScripture, and #Top10Monday.
