Post date April 11, 2022

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 40+ years. Here’s this week’s chart:

#TOP10MONDAY	WEEK ENDING – SUNDAY APRIL 10TH 2022	WEEK 269

TW	LW	WKS	SONG TITLE	ARTIST / SITE
1	1	11	Brighter Days [5TH week @ # 1]	Blessing Offor
2	2	11	See Me Through It	Brandon Heath
3	3	11	Holy Spirit Come	Patrick Mayberry
4	4	3	Wonder Working	All Creatures
5	5	3	Fill My Cup	Andrew Ripp
6	6	9	Sunday Sermons	Anne Wilson
7	7	22	Weary Traveler	Jordan St. Cyr
8	9	4	Fake It	Tauren Wells
9	–	1	Desesperado	Evan Craft
10	10	5	Egypt	Cory Asbury

# 1 This Week In:
2021 – “Good God Almighty” – Crowder
2020 – “Almost Home” – MercyMe
2019 – “Confidence” – Sanctus Real
2018 – “Freedom Hymn” – Austin French
2017 – “I Have This Hope” – Tenth Avenue North

LAST WEEK – So you missed last week’s edition ? No you didn’t. It wasn’t published. But it was updated, and there were big chart moves with 8 out of 10 hits moving up or down and just 2 non-movers. This week there are 8 non-movers, as my chart takes a breather after last week’s hyperactivity.

BRANDON HEATH – It was good to see Brandon perform “See Me Through It” LIVE on the Huckabee stage a couple of Saturday nights ago. The song sounded great with Tre’ Corley and The Music City Connection joining Brandon along with Mike Huckabee on bass. Not too many shows on TV will give Christian artists a chance to perform their latest or classic hits, but Huckabee is an exception to that rule. It’s also a solid weekly talk show that informs and entertains. You can catch it on TBN every Saturday night at 8 PM ET with an encore every Sunday night at 9 PM ET.

This blog is # 36 worldwide on the Top 80 Christian Music Blogs and Websites chart. Thank You for including us Feedspot !

This concludes another weekend of blog posts. I’ll do it again this upcoming weekend – with 5 new entries on Wednesday, 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. I’m also on Twitter and Flickr.

Be blessed my friends ! May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in Him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.

My Top 5 Hits RETRO – 1997

Post author By Chris M. Day
Post date April 8, 2022

Every Friday I post the Top 5 of one of my classic hit music charts based on personal preference and influenced by radio airplay from either 15, 25, 30, or 35 years ago this weekend (rotating each week).

It’s the 2ND Friday of the month, so I go back 25 years ago. Here it is – for the week ending Sunday April 13TH 1997:

“Every Day Is A Winding Road” – Sheryl Crow
“MMMBop” – Hanson
“I Like It Like That” – The Blackout Allstars
“Call Me” – Le Click
“One More Time” – Real McCoy

Isaac, Taylor, and Zac Hanson from Tulsa Oklahoma introduced themselves to the world with a radio smash that dominated the airwaves during the Spring and Summer of 1997 (or Autumn and Winter south of the Equator). The world soon knew them as simply “Hanson”, and they stormed pop charts worldwide with their catchy popper “MMMBop”. It spent 28 weeks on my chart including 4 non-consecutive weeks at # 1. It was my # 6 hit of 1997 (out of 161 that charted).

Next #RetroFriday I’ll go back 30 years ago to April 1992. It’s when a hard rock band from Southern California skyrocketed to the top of my pop chart with a track more reminiscent of the rockin’ late-1980s.

It’s halftime my friends. I’ll be back on Sunday and Monday with 2 more blog posts for this weekend. Enjoy your Saturday. Thanks for going retro with me !

My Top 5 Hits RETRO – 2007

Post author By Chris M. Day
Post date April 1, 2022

It’s the 1ST Friday of the month, so I go back 15 years ago. Here it is – for the week ending Sunday April 01ST 2007:

“Procrastinating” – Stellar Kart
“Wake Up ! Wake Up !” – Everyday Sunday
“Live Like We’re Alive” – Nevertheless
“Forgiven” – Relient K
“After The World” – Disciple

Those are all classics of the era right there. In my 8TH month of salvation I was completely immersed in the Christian pop and rock scene via my church, local radio, and online. Every single one of those songs (and many more of the time) bring me back to a part of my life that was unlike any before it. I was a baby Christian – on fire for Christ – a few months before my 40TH birthday.

Here’s the official music video for my # 2 hit that week 15 years ago:

Sometimes I wish I could recapture a sliver of that euphoria that I experienced during those early months as a baby Christian, but God does not intend to stay in place. He wants us to keep moving forward, and keep maturing with a soul on fire for Him. Don’t be sleepwalking through endless days. Don’t be procrastinating. Live like we’re alive !

Next #RetroFriday I’ll go back 25 years ago to April 1997. It’s when German Eurodance was dominant on the pop charts.

This is the end of an abbreviated blog weekend, as #SundayScripture and #Top10Monday are on hiatus this weekend. They will both return next weekend. In fact a full weekend of blogging returns next weekend – with 4 new entries on Thursday, Friday, Sunday, and Monday. I don’t blog on Saturdays. That’s my day of rest.

2019 – “Confidence” – Sanctus Real
2018 – “No One Like Our God” – Lincoln Brewster

WONDER WORKING – I love a debut artist on my chart. This week it’s the duo known as All Creatures with their poppy uplifting track that proclaims that our God is the God of wonders. He’s the God of miracles. He’s the Exodus 15:11 God – glorious in holiness – awesome in splendor – performing great wonders. “Wonder Working” (stylized as “[wonder working]”) is a potential # 1 smash on my chart if it can garner enough momentum and airplay on the radio. It’s good to hear it on K-LOVE !

HOLY SPIRIT COME – Another debut artist on my chart is close to scoring a # 1 smash with his anthem “Holy Spirit Come”. I love Patrick Mayberry’s voice in it. You can hear his passion. You can tell that he truly loves Jesus. What a great and powerful song. And what a cool music video to boot:

This concludes another weekend of blog posts. I’ll do it again this upcoming weekend – with 2 new entries on Thursday and Friday.
