August 25, 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 24TH 2025 – the 445TH week of this current era that began on Presidents’ Day Weekend of 2017:

SUMMER OF 2025 – It’s almost done – with just one more week to go. The 15 weeks of summer from Memorial Day Weekend to Labor Day Weekend here in the U.S.A. comes to a close, and as is years of tradition – I’ll be counting up the Top 10 hits of the summer based on chart performance. Those 10 hits are already set with 7 of them on this week’s chart. The other 3 fell off in June and July. Spoiler Alert – One of those hits is “Unashamed” from Matthew West. I’ll do my special #CountUp on Wednesday September 03RD 2025.

ONE-HIT WONDER – Britt Nicole spent 3 weeks on my chart 8 summers ago with “Be The Change”. In the song Britt proclaims that there’s too much light to be livin’ in the dark. We can “Be The Change”. Let’s let our heart burn bright. Let’s make this world bright. Turn on all the lights !

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.
