November 17, 2025

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 November 16TH 2025 – the 457TH week of this current era that began on Presidents’ Day Weekend of 2017:

TW	LW	WKS	SONG TITLE	ARTIST / SITE
1	1	16	Can’t Steal My Joy [7TH week @ # 1]	Josiah Queen X Brandon Lake
2	2	6	Dusty Bibles	Josiah Queen
3	6	5	How Good It Is	Chris Tomlin
4	4	22	What An Awesome God	Phil Wickham
5	5	23	Breakdown	Andrew Ripp
6	7	3	Lift Me Up	Blessing Offor
7	3	11	Still	Crowder
8	8	4	Won’t Start Now	Seph Schlueter
9	10	2	World On Fire	for King + Country Ft. Taylor Hill
10	9	5	God Story	Anne Wilson

# 1 This Week In:
2024 – “Place In This World” – for King + Country Ft. Michael W. Smith
2023 – “I Thank God” – Housefires Ft. JWLKRS Worship
2022 – “Ain’t Nobody” – Cody Carnes
2021 – “On Our Way” – MercyMe Ft. Sam Wesley
2020 – “No Hold On Me” – Matty Mullins
2019 – “Fear No More” – Building 429
2018 – “Only Jesus” – Casting Crowns
2017 – “Different” – Micah Tyler

JOSIAH X BRANDON – Josiah Queen and Brandon Lake remain at the pinnacle of my chart for a 7TH week in a row. It’s now my longest-running # 1 smash since last December and January when Steven Curtis Chapman spent 7 weeks at # 1 with “Do It Again”. If it can hold on at the top for another 2 weeks then it’ll tie the 9 weeks at # 1 that Housefires Ft. JWLKRS Worship spent with “I Thank God”.

ONE-HIT WONDER – You may not remember the band Switch – but you probably remember their big hit “Symphony”. It was all over U.S. Christian Radio during the Summer Of 2019, and it still receives recurrent airplay 6 years later. It spent 15 weeks on my chart – peaking at # 2. The band that sang “Symphony” came out of the high school ministry of the multi-campus LIFE.CHURCH.

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.
