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 almost 50 years.

IN THE BEGINNING – As I continue my 40TH year of charting music online (and on paper before that) – I begin my 9TH year of this current era of Christian adult contemporary music on the radio – courtesy of these great radio networks – K-LOVE, The JOY FM, and The Message on SiriusXM. In the beginning – a TobyMac concert in Tallahassee 8 years ago inspired the unexpected resurrection of my weekly hit music chart online after a 7-year-hiatus from 2010 to 2017. “Love Broke Thru” 8 years ago, and my fantastic journey began accelerating again.

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 in South Florida 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.
