May 1, 2023 – 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 April 30TH 2023 – the 324TH week of this current era that began on Presidents’ Day Weekend of 2017:

TW	LW	WKS	SONG TITLE	ARTIST / SITE
1	1	15	The Lord’s Prayer (It’s Yours) [10TH week @ # 1]	Matt Maher
2	3	20	My Story Your Glory	Matthew West
3	5	9	This Is Our God	Phil Wickham
4	2	13	I Believe It (The Life Of Jesus)	Jon Reddick
5	4	22	I See Grace	Micah Tyler
6	8	3	Desert Road	Casting Crowns
7	7	5	Fingerprints	Dan Bremnes
8	6	5	Easy To Praise	Patrick Mayberry

PHIL WICKHAM – My #PickHitOfTheWeek is the current radio hit from Mr. Phil Wickham. The uplifting “This Is Our God” is his 8TH hit over the past 6 years. He’s 1 of 3 artists with 8 or more hits on my chart but no # 1 hits yet. (The other 2 artists are Tauren Wells and for King & Country.)

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.
