October 7, 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 October 06TH 2024 – the 399TH week of this current era that began on Presidents’ Day Weekend of 2017:

TASHA LAYTON – Congratulations to Tasha as she scores a # 1 smash nationwide with the most-listened-to (audience) Christian song of the week. She’s also Top 5 in the number of radio spins this past week, and she’s up 2 notches to # 6 on my chart. Every time I hear it on the radio – I like it even more. She and Chris Brown (of Elevation Worship) sound great together, as they “Worship Through It”.

TOP 40 OF 400 – Next Monday I present my 400TH weekly chart of this current era (since February 2017). My Top 40 hits cumulatively of the first 400 weeks will be presented here next Tuesday October 15TH 2024 at 3 AM U.S. East Coast time. #Top40Of400.

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