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 over 45 years. Here’s this week’s chart – for the week ending Sunday December 10TH 2023 – the 356TH week of this current era that began on Presidents’ Day Weekend of 2017:

TW	LW	WKS	SONG TITLE	ARTIST / SITE
1	1	8	I Thank God [6TH week @ # 1]	Housefires Ft. JWLKRS Worship
2	2	17	Hallelujah Feeling	Caleb & John
3	3	15	Parking Lot	Cochren & Co.
4	4	18	Praise The Lord	Micah Tyler
5	5	21	Praise You Anywhere	Brandon Lake
6	8	2	Grave Robber	Crowder
7	7	5	I Believe	Phil Wickham
8	–	1	Strong	Anne Wilson
9	–	1	Lead On Good Shepherd	Patrick Mayberry
10	–	1	Trust In God	Elevation Worship

# 1 This Week In:
2022 – “Who I Am” – Ben Fuller
2021 – “On Our Way” – MercyMe Ft. Sam Wesley
2020 – “Every Step Of The Way” – Cade Thompson
2019 – “Dead Man Walking” – Jeremy Camp
2018 – “Even Then” – Micah Tyler
2017 – “Control (Somehow You Want Me)” – Tenth Avenue North

CROWDER – His 9TH hit since 2017 and follow-up to “God Really Loves Us” is up to # 6 this week, as “Grave Robber” continues to gain adds at U.S. Christian Radio. Crowder – always known to put out some weird videos with his radio songs – doesn’t have one for this track (yet). We’ll see if he puts one together soon. With the harder edge to this song I bet that an accompanying video could be extra weird. I like Crowder. I’ve seen him LIVE in concert a couple of times. After I saw him the first time in May 2019 – I became an instant fan.

This concludes another weekend of blog posts. I’ll do it again with the new weekend – and 3 new entries – known as #TravelThursday, #SundayScripture, and #MusicMonday.

COCHREN & CO. – Ascending into my Top 3 this week is the current hit from Michael Cochren and his band. Their 7TH hit since 2019 continues to gain momentum. It tells the story of the start of his salvation – on a Tuesday night – in a “Parking Lot”. On a personal note – it comes real close to telling the story of the start of my own salvation 17 years ago – on a 2-lane road – at dawn.

This concludes another weekend of blog posts. I’ll do it again with the new weekend – and 3 new entries – known as #TravelThursday, #SundayScripture, and #MusicMonday.

2021 – “On Our Way” – MercyMe Ft. Sam Wesley

NO CHANGE (REPEAT) – For the 2ND week in a row all of the songs hold steady at their respective chart positions. I listened to none of these songs – and very little Christian music overall – while I was away on vacation in North Texas. I mostly listened to secular music from the ’70s, ’80s, ’90s, ’00s, ’10s, and ’20s – and a whole lot of Taylor Swift (courtesy of my nieces – ages 13½ and 10½). And then of course since Thanksgiving Day many Christian stations (particularly K-LOVE) have been stunting with Christmas music. The hits return today, so next Monday I hope to present a Top 10 chart with much more activity – and hopefully a few new entries.

SPOTIFY – I learned a lot about this music streaming service from my brother last week, and now I have gift cards for it. I plan to create a public playlist for my Top 10 each week. I just need to figure out how it all works. (The first thing that I need to do is to create an account on the service. I’ll do that soon. I hear that Premium Individual is the way to go.)

This concludes another weekend of blog posts. I’ll do it again with the new weekend – and 3 new entries – known as #TravelThursday, #SundayScripture, and #MusicMonday.

NO CHANGE – It’s the weekend before Thanksgiving here in the U.S., and that generally means frozen playlists on the radio and little to no movement on the music charts. This chart is no exception, as every song remains at their respective chart position from last week. By next weekend – Christmas music will be introduced to radio playlists – starting with Christian and Adult Contemporary. Some stations will flip entirely to Christmas tracks – like The-JOY-FM in Central Florida.

This concludes another weekend of blog posts. I’ll do it again with the new weekend – and 3 new entries – with a special #ThanksgivingDay post on Thursday, #SundayScripture, and #MusicMonday.
