August 11, 2025 – 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 almost 50 years. Here’s this week’s chart – for the week ending Sunday August 10TH 2025 – the 443RD week of this current era that began on Presidents’ Day Weekend of 2017:

TW	LW	WKS	SONG TITLE	ARTIST / SITE
1	2	8	What An Awesome God [1ST week @ # 1]	Phil Wickham
2	1	12	God Did It	Micah Tyler
3	4	9	Breakdown	Andrew Ripp
4	3	19	Jesus Loves	Zach Williams
5	5	14	The King Is In The Room	Phil Wickham
6	7	17	No Fear	Jon Reddick
7	8	20	Oh Death	MercyMe
8	10	2	Can’t Steal My Joy	Josiah Queen X Brandon Lake
9	6	5	What If	Consumed By Fire
10	–	1	Preach	Ryan Stevenson Ft. Matt Hammitt

# 1 This Week In:
2024 – “Somebody Like Me” – Caleb & John Ft. Cain
2023 – “Big God” – Terrian
2022 – “Love Is Everything We Need” – Unspoken
2021 – “Gospel Song” – Rhett Walker
2020 – “There Was Jesus” – Zach Williams Ft. Dolly Parton
2019 – “Raise A Hallelujah” – Bethel Music
2018 – “Dream Small” – Josh Wilson
2017 – “Wonder” – Hillsong United

PHIL WICKHAM – He’s back atop my chart with his 4TH # 1 smash out of his last 5 songs. “What An Awesome God” replaces “God Did It” (Micah Tyler) which replaced “The King Is In The Room” at # 1. This is turning out to be the “Summer Of Phil Wickham”.

ONE-HIT WONDER – Hillary Scott spent 3 weeks in a row at # 10 on my chart in May 2017 with “Still”. It was from her 2016 album “Love Remains” which also included the 2016 radio smash “Thy Will”. I’m speculating that “Thy Will” would have been huge here on my chart if it was active in 2016. Country music fans know Hillary as one of the lead singers of Lady Antebellum (now known as Lady A).

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.
