My Top 5 Hits RETRO – 2009

Post author By Chris M. Day
Post date August 2, 2019

Every Friday night I post the Top 5 of one of my classic hit music charts based on personal preference and influenced by radio airplay from either 10, 15, 20, or 30 years ago this weekend (rotating each week).

It’s the 1ST Friday of the month, so I go back 10 years ago. Here it is – for the week ending Sunday August 02ND 2009:

“Code Name: Raven” – House Of Heroes
“Run From Yesterday” – High Flight Society
“Be Alive In Me” – Abandon
“Open Season” – Air Five
“Control” – Clemency

Good music there from exactly a decade ago this weekend. Two of those songs – “Code Name: Raven” and “Be Alive In Me” – are currently in heavy rotation at the workplace via my iPod Shuffles that I listen to at my desk. “Open Season” has been a constant favorite over the past 10 years. “Control” has generated over 1,050 plays since I added it to my iTunes library in March 2009. That’s music that was part of the soundtrack of my fantastic journey in 2009, and it’s aged gracefully.

10 years ago this month I was approaching the 3RD anniversary of the start of my salvation in Christ. God used rock music on the radio to rescue me and save me. He lifted me out of the pit of despair – out of the mud and the mire. He set my feet on solid ground, and He steadied me as I walked along. He gave me a new song to sing – a hymn of praise to our God.

He can do that for you too. Up until the age of 39 I was far from God with no intention of getting to know Him. I was fine with following the ways of the world. But the world left me behind. The world left me for dead. Then God came and gave me a lifeline, and I took it. I’ve been holding on tight ever since.

If you do not yet know Christ then I invite you to walk with me. I’d like to tell you all about the God I know. He’s got a fantastic journey for you too !

It’s halftime my friends. I’ll be back on Sunday afternoon and Monday night with two more blog posts for this weekend. Enjoy your Saturday. Thanks for going RETRO with me !

My Top 10 Hits – Week 128

Post date July 29, 2019

Every Monday night I post my all-new Top 10 Christian hit music chart based on personal preference and influenced by radio airplay. Here it is – for the week ending Sunday July 28TH 2019:

“Raise A Hallelujah” – Bethel Music [# 2 last week / 8TH week on chart]
“Prize Worth Fighting For” – Jamie Kimmett [1 / 16TH]
“Till I Found You” – Phil Wickham [3 / 8TH]
“Greater Things” – Mack Brock [4 / 11TH]
“Resurrecting” – Elevation Worship [5 / 16TH]
“Symphony” – Switch [6 / 8TH]
“(Love Is The) Reason” – Unspoken [9 / 2ND]
“Dead Man Walking” – Jeremy Camp [10 / 2ND]
“Let It Rain (Is There Anybody)” – Crowder Ft. Mandisa [8 / 3RD]
”God’s Not Done With You” – Tauren Wells [7 / 5TH]

# 1 One Year Ago This Week:
“Dream Small” – Josh Wilson

# 1 Two Years Ago This Week:
“Wonder” – Hillsong UNITED

It’s a new # 1 smash this week, as Bethel Music reach the pinnacle with “Raise A Hallelujah”. It made it to # 1 in its 8TH week. That’s the fastest climb to # 1 since Big Daddy Weave‘s “Alive” 3 months ago.

A couple of months ago I didn’t know who “Bethel Music” was. Now I do, but strangely this is actually their follow-up single to “Stand In Your Love” which reached # 5 last October on my chart. That was from Josh Baldwin of … that’s right – you guessed it – Bethel Music. “Raise A Hallelujah” is the 2ND single from the Bethel Music album, “Victory”.

I’m back from vacation. I was on a 4-day / 309-mile road-trip to and from Fort Myers and Fort Myers Beach in Southwest Florida. My blog continued as normal this past weekend, as I wrote Thursday’s, Friday’s, and Sunday’s blogs several days in advance (before I departed on my road-trip). Tonight’s blog was written and published immediately on this Monday night. This Thursday night I’ll share some “Mini-Thoughts” with you regarding my weekend vacation.

But for now here’s Jeremy Camp’s official music video for “Dead Man Walking”.

This concludes another weekend of blog posts. I’ll do it again next weekend – 4 new entries on Thursday, Friday, Sunday, and Monday. I don’t blog on Saturdays. That’s my day of rest.

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. Enjoy this week my friends. I’m on Twitter @ChrisMDay, and I’m also the man behind the tweets for my church @LivingWatersHFL. May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in Him. AMEN.

# 1 One Year Ago This Week:
“Grace Got You” – MercyMe

# 1 Two Years Ago This Week:
“Wonder” – Hillsong UNITED

Two new entries this week – First at # 10 it’s one of the few artists on this “K-LOVE Era” of my chart that was on the original “Salvation Era” of my chart from 2006 to 2010 – Jeremy Camp. He’s in his early-40s now, and he’s been lighting-up the radio airwaves since he was in his mid-20s. I saw him LIVE in concert this past February, and he put on an awesome set. I’m looking forward to the movie based on his life – “I Still Believe” – next March 20TH.

Coming in at # 9 this week is the latest from Unspoken. It’s their follow-up to “Miracle” which peaked at # 2 in January 2018. It’s a fast-paced pop song that sorta sounds like Micah Tyler’s “Even Then”. Check out the official music video for “Reason” – from the album of the same name:

This concludes another weekend of blog posts. I’ll do it again next weekend – 4 new entries on Thursday, Friday, Sunday, and Monday. I don’t blog on Saturdays. That’s my day of rest.
