June 10, 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 09TH 2024 – the 382ND week of this current era that began on Presidents’ Day Weekend of 2017:

TW	LW	WKS	SONG TITLE	ARTIST / SITE
1	2	5	Beautiful Life [1ST week @ # 1]	Pat Barrett
2	3	7	Somebody Like Me	Caleb & John Ft. Cain
3	1	12	Counting My Blessings	Seph Schlueter
4	4	16	You’ve Already Won	Shane & Shane
5	5	27	Lead On Good Shepherd	Patrick Mayberry
6	7	2	Strongholds	Chris Tomlin
7	8	4	Always Only Jesus	MercyMe
8	9	3	God Is With Us	The Afters
9	10	2	Made For More	Josh Baldwin
10	–	1	Take You At Your Word	Cody Carnes

# 1 This Week In:
2023 – “Cornerstone” – TobyMac Ft. Zach Williams
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

THE AFTERS – They quietly entered my chart a couple of weeks ago with their 3RD hit of the current 7-year era. Their previous 2 hits went all the way to # 1 – “Well Done” at the end of 2018 – and “I Will Fear No More” exactly 4 years ago. They were also on my chart during the previous era – spending 26 weeks (mostly at the start of 2008) with their Top 5 hit “Never Going Back To OK”.

TOP 40 OF 400 – This October I’ll present my Top 40 songs of the first 400 weeks of this chart. Right now Chris Tomlin has 2 songs on the chart – “Home” and “Nobody Loves Me Like You”. He’s charted with 10 songs overall, and he’s my # 4 artist of the current 7-year era.

SPOTIFY – You can hear “My Top 10 Hits” anytime simply by accessing 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.
