June 3, 2024 – 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 June 02ND 2024 – the 381ST week of this current era that began on Presidents’ Day Weekend of 2017:

TW	LW	WKS	SONG TITLE	ARTIST / SITE
1	1	11	Counting My Blessings [5TH week @ # 1]	Seph Schlueter
2	6	4	Beautiful Life	Pat Barrett
3	5	6	Somebody Like Me	Caleb & John Ft. Cain
4	3	15	You’ve Already Won	Shane & Shane
5	2	26	Lead On Good Shepherd	Patrick Mayberry
6	4	6	Unsung Hero	for King + Country

8	8	3	Always Only Jesus	MercyMe

# 1 This Week In:
2023 – “This Is Our God” – Phil Wickham
2022 – “Sunday Sermons” – Anne Wilson
2021 – “Help Is On The Way (Maybe Midnight)” – TobyMac
2020 – “I Will Fear No More” – The Afters
2019 – “Born Again” – Austin French
2018 – “The Way (New Horizon)” – Pat Barrett
2017 – “Live Like You’re Loved” – Hawk Nelson

PAT BARRETT – His 4TH hit on my chart is on the verge of becoming my 100TH # 1 smash of the current 7-year era, as “Beautiful Life” surges 4 notches to # 2. His debut hit – “The Way (New Horizon)” – was my 21ST # 1 smash exactly 6 years ago. Both songs remind me of each other. It’s good to have Pat back on my chart with another summertime smash !

CHRIS TOMLIN – He’s got his 10TH hit on my chart over the past 7 years, and it’s his follow-up to his # 1 smash last summer – “Holy Forever”. It’s his 3RD radio single from his 2022 album “Always”.

TOP 40 OF 400 – This October I’ll present my Top 40 songs of the first 400 weeks of this chart. Right now at # 40 on the chart – it’s “Come What May” from We Are Messengers. But there’s a reasonable chance that it won’t be at # 40 on the final chart, as there’s a particular song on my chart right now that could push it off. But #WAM – you’ve already won with that wonderful song.

SPOTIFY – You can hear “My Top 10 Hits” anytime simply by heading over to my CountUp playlist on Spotify. All 10 hits are there from top to bottom. You can hear them in order from # 1 to # 10, or you can shuffle them. My playlist will be updated every weekend (usually before the actual chart is presented here on Mondays). You can link to it here.

Your likes, follows, and comments are always appreciated. Thank You for being part of my online ministry to share God’s Good News and win souls for Christ through His music. God used loud music on the radio to reach me in August of 2006. I’ve been testifying about Him ever since.

Be blessed my friends ! May our God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in Him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.
