The Major’s Top 5 Hits RETRO – 1999

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 January 24TH 1999:

  1. “One Week” – Barenaked Ladies
  2. “Baby One More Time” – Britney Spears
  3. “Nobody’s Supposed To Be Here” – Deborah Cox
  4. “Believe” – Cher
  5. “Thank U” – Alanis Morissette

One of those hits I heard today at work, and I hear it almost every day at work because it’s on my iPod Shuffles that play all day every day at my desk at work. It’s the # 3 smash – the Hex Hector Dance Radio Mix of Deborah Cox’s “Nobody’s Supposed To Be Here”. It still sounds as fresh today as it did exactly 20 years ago. Spoiler Alert: It would go on to spend 5 consecutive weeks at # 1 in February and March of 1999, so you’ll see that the next time I feature 1999 on a Friday night.

This blog is now going on hiatus for the next 8 days. The same goes for my Twitter and Flickr feeds. It’s #WinterBreak2019. I’ll be back on social media on Super Bowl Sunday February 03RD 2019. I’ll post a new “Sunday Scripture” on that day, and then the next day it’s my brand new Top 10 Christian hit music chart.

Thank You all for checking me out online. Enjoy your next 8 days. Be blessed.

The Major’s Top 5 Hits RETRO – 2009

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 January 18TH 2009:

  1. “Homemade Valentine” – Children 18:3
  2. “Lose Control” – House Of Heroes
  3. “Return” – The Wedding
  4. “Guilty” – Since October
  5. “Dead Man” – We As Human

I love to go #Retro back to the early years of my salvation by Jesus Christ. On this particular January weekend in 2009 I celebrated my 2ND anniversary with my original church family, and I observed 29 months on this fantastic journey.

In the words of me from my blog post of exactly 10 years ago today:

– This year is going to be even better than the first two.
– That’s because I have higher expectations this year for my journey.
– I refuse to be content and satisfied on this journey.
– I will never be there where I need to be.
– I will always strive for higher and better.
– I will never be as righteous or as effective as Jesus.

Good words back then. Still the Truth today.

As for my # 5 hit back then well let me just say that “Dead Man” rocked my face off. This hard rockin’ track was definitely the anthem of the soundtrack of my life back during the Winter of 2009. Check it out online.

It’s in the lyrics:

Sitting here at my graveside. I’ve never been so alive.
You pulled the dead man out of me.
I am not what I was – never again what I was.
You pulled the dead man out of me.

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.

The Major’s Top 10 Hits – Week 100

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 January 13TH 2019:

  1. “Nobody Loves Me Like You” – Chris Tomlin [# 2 last week / 11TH week on chart]
  2. “Maybe It’s OK” – We Are Messengers [4 / 7TH]
  3. “Well Done” – The Afters [1 / 13TH]

# 1 One Year Ago This Week – “Lions” – Skillet

The 100TH week of the 3RD era of my personal hit music chart brings a brand new # 1 smash from a familiar artist. Chris Tomlin scores his 2ND # 1 smash. It’s the follow-up to His “Resurrection Power” which peaked at # 3 last summer which was the follow-up to his # 1 debut smash “Home” during the previous summer (2017).

We Are Messengers inch closer to the top with a track that has really grown on me over the past month-and-a-half. I’m really looking forward to seeing them LIVE in concert here in South Florida next month at the TobyMac show. I have a floor seat just 8 rows from the end stage near the middle. I’ll be required to sing and dance all night long !

Hillsong United’s latest “Not Today” reaches my Top 5 for the first time – in its 17TH week. Fun Fact:  It spent 10 non-consecutive weeks at # 7. I love when it comes on the radio. I always sing along to it.

Today marks the end of a full year in my return to WordPress. I left this platform behind during the early-2010s to tweet and put up a wall (on Facebook). This blog actually started on MySpace back in 2007, and then I modernized it to WordPress towards the end of that same year. This past year of blogging was my most satisfying (and most read – worldwide) since the peak of my original WordPress run a full decade ago. It was more active than every year of blogging during my ill-fated run on Facebook. I have all of you – who read this blog – who like it – who follow it – who tell their friends about it – to thank – for supporting this rejuvenation of my ministry. Let’s keep this forward momentum going. Let’s continue to glorify our everlasting God !

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.
