July 8, 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 July 07TH 2024 – the 386TH week of this current era that began on Presidents’ Day Weekend of 2017:

TW	LW	WKS	SONG TITLE	ARTIST / SITE
1	2	11	Somebody Like Me [1ST week @ # 1]	Caleb & John Ft. Cain
2	1	9	Beautiful Life	Pat Barrett
3	6	5	Take You At Your Word	Cody Carnes
4	5	11	The Prodigal	Josiah Queen
5	10	2	Good Day	Forrest Frank
6	7	31	Lead On Good Shepherd	Patrick Mayberry
7	3	7	God Is With Us	The Afters
8	4	6	Strongholds	Chris Tomlin
9	9	3	Miracle Child	Brandon Lake
10	–	1	Nothin’ Sweeter	TobyMac

# 1 This Week In:
2023 – “Holy Forever” – Chris Tomlin
2022 – “Getting Started” – Jeremy Camp
2021 – “Yes He Can” – Cain
2020 – “Keep Me In The Moment” – Jeremy Camp
2019 – “Church (Take Me Back)” – Cochren & Co.
2018 – “Do It Again” – Elevation Worship
2017 – “The Comeback” – Danny Gokey

CALEB & JOHN & MADISON & TAYLOR & LOGAN – Their collaboration of “Somebody Like Me” ascends to the mountaintop of my chart this week – becoming my 101ST # 1 smash of the current era. Just as Cain did with their first 2 radio songs – Caleb & John have now hit # 1 with their first 2 radio songs as well. (Cain is credited with their 3RD # 1.)

SUMMER OF 2024 – This is Week 7 of our 15-week Summer (starting with Memorial Day Weekend and ending with Labor Day Weekend here in the U.S.A.). As is tradition here on #CountUp – I’ll present “My Top 10 Hits” of the Summer after it’s over. It’ll publish on Wednesday September 04TH 2024. So far – Pat Barrett’s “Beautiful Life” is # 1 for the Summer, but that could change soon.

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.
