December 29, 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 December 28TH 2025 – the 463RD week of this current era that began on Presidents’ Day Weekend of 2017:

TW	LW	WKS	SONG TITLE	ARTIST / SITE

TOP 25 OF 2025 – It’s my final chart of 2025, and it looks just like last week’s chart with no change at all. That should change with next week’s chart, as my favorite radio stations return to regular Christian hit music programming. I heard the brand-new Phil Wickam song for the first time on Christmas Morning, and “Homesick For Heaven” sounds like the first big hit of 2026. But before then – tomorrow – Tuesday December 30TH 2025 – I’ll present my special year-end chart – My Top 25 Of 2025. Speaking of Phil Wickham … #ToBeContinued

ONE-HIT WONDER – Stephen Stanley from Mansfield Georgia is a guitarist, pianist, drummer, songwriter, and singer. He leads worship at Crossroads Baptist Church (40 miles ESE of Atlanta) where his dad Brandon is the Lead Pastor. In April and May 2021 he scored a hit on my chart that peaked for 2 weeks at # 9 – “No Hopeless Soul”.

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.
