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 16TH 2022 – the 296TH week of this current era that began on Presidents’ Day Weekend of 2017:

TW	LW	WKS	SONG TITLE	ARTIST / SITE
1	1	10	Good Morning Mercy [5TH week @ # 1]	Jason Crabb
2	3	17	Thank God For Sunday Morning	Cochren & Co.
3	2	9	New Creation	Mac Powell
4	5	6	Miracle Power	We The Kingdom
5	6	3	Ain’t Nobody	Cody Carnes
6	4	8	Build A Boat	Colton Dixon
7	8	3	Love Me Like I Am	for King & Country Ft. Jordin Sparks
8	7	18	Hold You Tight	Dan Bremnes
9	9	6	God Is In This Story	Katy Nichole Ft. Big Daddy Weave
10	10	6	Perfectly Loved	Rachael Lampa Ft. TobyMac

# 1 This Week In:
2021 – “What If” – Matthew West
2020 – “Rise Up (Lazarus)” – Cain
2019 – “Fear No More” – Building 429
2018 – “Only Jesus” – Casting Crowns
2017 – “The Gospel” – Ryan Stevenson

COCHREN & CO. – I featured “Thank God For Sunday Morning” as the 3RD and final song of “Praise & Worship” with my church family yesterday morning. It’s a great song to read the lyrics to on the big screens, and take those words in. It’s back up a notch this week to # 2 on my chart, and it could rise to the top next week. I took a look back at the debut smash from Cochren & Co. “Church (Take Me Back)” enjoyed a long chart run in 2019. It actually spent 8 non-consecutive weeks at # 2 before it spent 4 weeks at # 1. This is the 5TH non-consecutive week at # 2 for “Thank God For Sunday Morning”. We’ll see if it can end that streak for the better next week.

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.
