Every Monday night I post my all-new Top 10 Christian hit music chart based on personal preference. Here it is – for the week ending Sunday November 04TH 2018:

“Only Jesus” – Casting Crowns [# 1 last week / 10TH week on chart]
“Even Then” – Micah Tyler [3 / 12TH]
“Known” – Tauren Wells [2 / 13TH]
“Well Done” – The Afters [6 / 3RD]
“Stand In Your Love” – Josh Baldwin [5 / 5TH]
“You Say” – Lauren Daigle [4 / 10TH]
“Not Today” – Hillsong United [9 / 7TH]
“Who You Say I Am” – Hillsong Worship [8 / 15TH]
“Survivor” – Zach Williams [7 / 7TH]
“Nobody Loves Me Like You” – Chris Tomlin [- / 1ST]

“Only Jesus” continues its reign at # 1 this week for the 8TH week in a row. It’s the 26TH # 1 smash of this current 90-week K-LOVE era of my personal hit music chart. That makes it the 450TH # 1 smash since I began this chart 33 years ago. It’s the longest running # 1 smash since Eleventyseven spent 10 weeks at # 1 with their Christian techno track “Trying”.

You can check out all of my # 1 smash hits from October 1995 to January 2010 by clicking on “THE MAJOR’S CHART-TOPPERS” hyperlink atop the web edition of this blog.

The Major’s Top 5 Hits RETRO – 2008

Post author By Chris M. Day
Post date November 2, 2018

Every Friday night I post the Top 5 of one of my classic hit music charts based on personal preference from either 10, 20, or 30 years ago (rotating each week). Here it is – for the week ending Sunday November 02ND 2008:

“Outrage” – Capital Lights
“I Give Up” – Stellar Kart
“Who I Was And Who I Am” – Ruth
“I Can’t Stand To Fall” – Philmont
“Sleeping In” – Nevertheless

Ruth was one of my favorite bands back then – 26½ months into my fantastic journey. They hit my chart with 4 straight Top 3 smash hits in less than 3 years: “Cross The Line” (6 weeks at # 2 in 2007), “Who I Was And Who I Am” (# 3 in 2008), “Back To The Five” (# 1 in 2009), and “Rolling With The Punches” (11 weeks at # 2 in 2009). All 4 tracks have been in heavy rotation on my iPod Shuffles since they were hits, and they have been played a combined 3,817 times since then.

I resurrected a page from my former hit music web site of the late-1990s / early-2000s. It’s every single # 1 song during the second (and longest) era of my personal hit music chart from 1995 to 2010. I’ve got it updated to June of 2008 so far, and I’ll be adding to it in the weeks to come. To access this new page simply click on “THE MAJOR’S CHART-TOPPERS” atop the web edition of this blog.

During those 14+ years of the second era – my chart evolved from Mainstream Top 40 to Pure Dance (European House, Techno, and Trance), back to Mainstream Top 40, and then ultimately to Christian Top 40 (post-salvation). They represent the soundtrack of my life from my late-20s, through my 30s, and into my early-40s.

It’s halftime. I’ll be back on Sunday and Monday with my remaining two blog posts for this weekend. Enjoy your Saturday. Thank You for your time.

Every Monday night I post my all-new Top 10 Christian hit music chart based on personal preference. Here it is – for the week ending Sunday October 28TH 2018:

“Only Jesus” – Casting Crowns [# 1 last week / 9TH week on chart]
“Known” – Tauren Wells [2 / 12TH]
“Even Then” – Micah Tyler [3 / 11TH]

“Who You Say I Am” – Hillsong Worship [6 / 14TH]

“Only Jesus” becomes the longest-running # 1 smash of this era of my personal hit music chart, as it spends its 7TH consecutive week at # 1.

Tonight at 8 PM EDT / 5 PM PDT TBN airs a one-hour telecast of the Michael W. Smith “Surrounded” concert from the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville Tennessee (taped on August 30TH 2018). I’m looking forward to watching it, and I’ll be live-tweeting during the show at my Twitter feed – @ChrisMDay – using the hashtag #SurroundedEvent.

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

The Major’s Top 5 Hits RETRO – 1988

Post author By Chris M. Day
Post date October 26, 2018

“The Loco-Motion” – Kylie Minogue
“Je Ne Sais Pais Pourquoi” – Kylie Minogue
“It’s No Secret” – Kylie Minogue
“Go To Be Certain” – Kylie Minogue
“Simply Irresistible” – Robert Palmer

Kylie had a huge week 30 years ago !

Further down my chart Bon Jovi debuted at # 6 with the hard-rockin’ “Bad Medicine”. The Escape Club moved up 18 notches to # 7 with “Wild Wild West”. U2’s “Desire” was the week’s fastest climber – up 21 to # 11.

Phil Collins topped the Billboard Hot 100 with “A Groovy Kind Of Love”. The Beach Boys were at # 2 with “Kokomo”. (It hit # 1 the following week.)

Whitney Houston topped the BBC-Gallup British Top 40 with “One Moment In Time”. Enya’s “Orinoco Flow” was the week’s fastest climber – up 24 to # 5. (It hit # 1 the following week.)

Aside from the British pop music scene while I was living and working in England from November 1985 to November 1987 I was not a big fan of Top 40 music during the 1980s. But in late-1988 the music scene began to shift. It began to change for the better. I’ve always considered 1989 as the first official year of 1990s music. For me the 1990s were the greatest decade of music of my life.

It’s halftime. I’ll be back on Sunday and Monday with two more blogs for this weekend. Enjoy your Saturday. Make memories of a lifetime that will have you looking back at them fondly some 30 years from now !
