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 April 05TH 2026 – the 477TH week of this current era that began on Presidents’ Day Weekend of 2017:

# 1 This Week In:
2025 – “Money Can’t Buy” – Cochren & Co.
2024 – “He Does” – Brandon Heath
2023 – “The Lord’s Prayer (It’s Yours)” – Matt Maher
2022 – “Brighter Days” – Blessing Offor
2021 – “Say I Won’t” – MercyMe
2020 – “Almost Home” – MercyMe
2019 – “Confidence” – Sanctus Real

WHERE WOULD I BE – … if I didn’t have Jesus pulling me out of that grave ? Where would I be if I didn’t have mercy pulling me away from my ways ? I’d probably crash and burn – stay stuck down in that dirt like a prodigal running from home. Where would I be if I didn’t have Jesus ? Thank God. Thank God. Thank God I’ll never know …
ONE-HIT WONDER – Elevation Rhythm spent 2 weeks at # 1 last March (2025) with their breakthrough hit “Goodbye Yesterday”. Their follow-up hit – “Washed” – is currently approaching the Top 10 nationally. If it can make it onto my Top 10 then Elevation Rhythm will no longer be a one-hit wonder.
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.
