August 14, 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 over 45 years. Here’s this week’s chart – for the week ending Sunday August 13TH 2023 – the 339TH week of this current era that began on Presidents’ Day Weekend of 2017:

TW	LW	WKS	SONG TITLE	ARTIST / SITE
1	1	12	Big God [4TH week @ # 1]	Terrian
2	2	6	To Not Worship You	MercyMe
3	3	4	Praise You Anywhere	Brandon Lake
4	4	5	The King Is Alive	Jordan Feliz
5	5	9	Every Hour	David Leonard Ft. Josh Baldwin
6	6	20	Fingerprints	Dan Bremnes
7	7	24	This Is Our God	Phil Wickham
8	9	2	Heaven Changes Everything	Big Daddy Weave
9	–	1	Praise The Lord	Micah Tyler
10	–	1	Jesus Does	We The Kingdom

# 1 This Week In:
2022 – “Love Is Everything We Need” – Unspoken
2021 – “When We Fall Apart” – Ryan Stevenson Ft. Vince Gill & Amy Grant
2020 – “There Was Jesus” – Zach Williams Ft. Dolly Parton
2019 – “Raise A Hallelujah” – Bethel Music
2018 – “Dream Small” – Josh Wilson
2017 – “Wonder” – Hillsong United

# 1 IN 2021 – What a great and unique song that was at # 1 on my chart exactly 2 years ago. It spent 2 weeks at the top – and 14 of its 15 weeks in my Top 5. That was quite the remarkable achievement considering it received lackluster airplay on the radio (K-LOVE), and then suddenly no airplay at all. I don’t think I’ve heard it on the radio once over the past 2 years. The touching song that may bring tears to your eyes are the words that Ryan’s own mother said to her son right before she passed on to her Creator in 2009.

This concludes another weekend of blog posts. I’ll do it again with the new weekend – and 3 new entries – known as #TravelThursday, #SundayScripture, and #MusicMonday.
