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 March 10TH 2019:

“Red Letters” – Crowder [# 1 last week / 12TH week on chart]
“My Feet Are On The Rock” – I Am They [4 / 4TH]
“Confidence” – Sanctus Real [5 / 3RD]
“Church (Take Me Back)” – Cochren & Co. [6 / 3RD]
“Maybe It’s OK” – We Are Messengers [2 / 15TH]
“Best News Ever” – MercyMe [3 / 12TH]
“Greatness Of Our God” – Newsboys [7 / 3RD]
“Nobody Loves Me Like You” – Chris Tomlin [8 / 19TH]
“Born Again” – Austin French [10 / 2ND]
“Build My Life” – Pat Barrett [- / 1ST]

# 1 One Year Ago This Week:
“No One Like Our God” – Lincoln Brewster

MercyMe have kicked-off their 9-week “Imagine Nation” tour with shows this past weekend in Texas and Louisiana. They head over to the Carolinas and Georgia for 4 shows this weekend. I’m 55 days away from seeing them LIVE in Tampa (along with Micah Tyler and Crowder). It’s gonna be an awesome show, and I’ll be singing and dancing from start to finish. 3 nights later I’ll see Hillsong United LIVE in concert in Estero Florida. That’s gonna be a wonderful week on this fantastic journey on the road !

I used to sing and dance the night away with the world, but now I sing and dance for Christ alongside His believers, His followers, His joyful celebrators. God’s Kingdom is truly alive !

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.

My Top 5 Hits RETRO – 2009

Post author By Chris M. Day
Post date March 8, 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, 20, or 30 years ago (rotating each week). Here it is – for the week ending Sunday March 08TH 2009:

“Surrender Saved My Life” – This Beautiful Republic
“Dead Man” – We As Human
“Cross My Heart” – Nevertheless
“Let’s Dance” – Hawk Nelson
“The Last, The Lost, The Least” – Relient K

Nevertheless – what an awesome band that I grew up with as a baby Christian. They were very prominent on Christian radio, and as a result – the soundtrack of my life during those early years discovering and exploring who Jesus Christ was, is, and will be.

Nevertheless charted with 5 radio singles back then – “The Real” (peaked at # 24 in 2006), “Live Like We’re Alive” (# 2 for 4 weeks in 2007), “Time (To Let This Go)” (# 5 in 2007), “Sleeping In” (# 1 for 3 weeks in 2008), and “Cross My Heart” (# 3 in 2009). Hearing some of those early songs a dozen years later gives me goosebumps, and reminds me of just how far I’ve come since I first stumbled onto this fantastic journey.

Music has played an important role in my life of nearly 52 years. At the age of 39 God used music to lift me out of the slimy pit – out of the mud and mire. He set my feet on a rock – and gave me a firm place to stand. That’s why I share God’s Good News through His music.

It’s halftime. I’ll be back on Sunday and Monday with two more blog posts for this weekend. Enjoy your Saturday. Share the Good News with all who will listen.

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 March 03RD 2019:

“Red Letters” – Crowder [# 2 last week / 11TH week on chart]
“Maybe It’s OK” – We Are Messengers [1 / 14TH]
“Best News Ever” – MercyMe [3 / 11TH]
“My Feet Are On The Rock” – I Am They [4 / 3RD]
“Confidence” – Sanctus Real [5 / 2ND]

# 1 One Year Ago This Week:
“Gracefully Broken” – Matt Redman Ft. Tasha Cobbs Leonard

Crowder scores his 2ND # 1 smash on my chart. It’s his follow-up to “All My Hope” (# 5 in December 2017) and “Forgiven” (# 1 in May 2017). In just a couple of months I’ll be seeing Crowder LIVE in concert in Tampa. He’s supporting MercyMe.

Thank You God – for red letters
When the ground began to shake
The grace of God started falling
And I became a free man that day
The prison walls started falling
And I am a free man today

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

1980s Music Radio

My Top 5 Hits RETRO – 1989

Post author By Chris M. Day
Post date March 1, 2019

“I Beg Your Pardon” – Kon Kan
“You Got It (The Right Stuff)” – New Kids On The Block
“Straight Up” – Paula Abdul
“She Wants To Dance With Me” – Rick Astley
“The Lover In Me” – Sheena Easton

GREAT music there. A young 21½-year-old version of me was dancing day and night to the hottest hits in the land. You can’t get more “club in 1989” than Kon Kan’s “I Beg Your Pardon”. That song still sounds awesome today – 30 years later.

Back in the day my local Top 40 radio station -Y-100 (Miami Florida) – used to “daypart” where they would play “adult-friendly” mainstream pop music during the work day, and then at the top of the 3 o’clock hour right after station identification they would let loose with a song on the radical fringe. Think “Sweet Child O’ Mine” (Guns N’ Roses), “Bad Medicine” (Bon Jovi), “My Prerogative” (Bobby Brown), “It Takes Two” (Rob Base & D.J. E-Z Rock), and “I Beg Your Pardon” (Kon Kan). Once any of those “radical” songs came on – you knew that the work day was almost through, and it was time to party en Miami !

But that was then, and this is now. I’ll return to the “now” – which is so much more greater than the “then” – this Sunday with Scripture, and this Monday with the soundtrack of my life during this first weekend of March of 2019. I think I’ll have a new # 1 smash on the new chart. Enjoy your weekend my friends !
