June 1, 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 31ST 2026 – the 485TH week of this current era that began on Presidents’ Day Weekend of 2017:

MATT MAHER – He’s back with his 4TH hit since 2018. Following-up “What A Friend” (# 1 for 1 week), “Alive & Breathing” (# 2 for 5 weeks), and “The Lord’s Prayer (It’s Yours)” (# 1 for 12 weeks) – it’s “Gonna Be Alright”. Matt sings to the Lord:

♬ So why should I worry
Not a thing that I lack
You’re with me that’s a fact
I’m alive – it’s a ride
Where I go Lord I know it’s gonna be alright
Everything’s gonna be alright ♬

SALVATION ERA – Continuing what I started last week – My # 2 hit overall from August 2006 to January 2010 was “Staring At The Light” from The Wedding out of Northwest Arkansas. Their 2007 album – “Polarity” – spawned 3 hit singles on the radio – “Say Your Prayers”, “Staring At The Light”, and “I’ll Sleep When I’m Dead”. All 3 were Top 3 hits on my chart, and the middle one was the biggest of them all. “Staring At The Light” spent 20 weeks on my chart including 5 weeks at # 1 starting in its 5TH week in October 2007. I absolutely love the line in the song that goes – “I’ll show you all the things you’ve heard about.” God will do just that for you – once you believe, follow, trust, and love Him – more than anyone – more than anything.

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.
