May 11, 2026 – 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 May 10TH 2026 – the 482ND week of this current era that began on Presidents’ Day Weekend of 2017:

TW	LW	WKS	SONG TITLE	ARTIST / SITE
1	2	17	Finished [1ST week @ # 1]	Caleb & John
2	1	17	Where Would I Be	Peter Burton
3	3	7	Everything Is Better	Hopeful.
4	4	4	Worthy Of It All (Worthy)	CeCe Winans

2019 – “Alive” – Big Daddy Weave
2018 – “The Way (New Horizon)” – Pat Barrett
2017 – “Forgiven” – Crowder

SIDEWALK PROPHETS – Their first hit since December 2019 / January 2020 is my fastest climber this week – up 5 notches to # 5. “Father, Let It Be” is a song to God asking Him for help to believe. The singer acknowledges the Trinity. He wants Christ to tell him stories of times He felt like him. He’s asking for the Spirit to let him see the forest through the trees. He wants help to understand the plans He has for him. If it’s Your will – God – let it be.

ONE-HIT WONDER – Hopeful. spend their 2ND week in a row at # 3 with their California surf-pop track for Christ – “Everything Is Better”. I’m hopeful that this track will continue its momentum to the top of my chart.

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.
