My Top 5 Hits RETRO – 2004

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 10, 15, 20, or 30 years ago this weekend (rotating each week).

It’s the 2ND Friday of the month, so I go back 15 years ago. Here it is – for the week ending Sunday December 12TH 2004:

  1. “Welcome To My Life” – Simple Plan
  2. “I Don’t Want To Be” – Gavin DeGraw
  3. “Lady” – Lenny Kravitz
  4. “Dare You To Move” – Switchfoot
  5. “On The Way Down” – Ryan Cabrera

15 years ago this weekend my favorite French-Canadian pop-punk band at the time – Simple Plan – scored their 2ND # 1 smash in a row. “Welcome To My Life” was the follow-up to “Perfect” – their debut smash on my chart. They would score with one more hit after that – “Untitled (How Could This Happen To Me ?”).  Simple Plan have been recording, performing, and touring for the past 20 years.

The mid-2000s were not a particularly happy period of time for me personally or professionally. It was my midlife crisis. I was miserable at the workplace, and I pretty much had no friends at the time. I came home each day to my lovable feline. He was my best friend. #Boots

Everything began to change a little more than 20 months later. You’ll see how this story develops over the next 20 months every 2ND Friday of the month. #Salvation

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 – 2009

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 10, 15, 20, or 30 years ago this weekend (rotating each week).

It’s the 1ST Friday of the month, so I go back 10 years ago. Here it is – for the week ending Sunday December 06TH 2009:

  1. “Trying” – Eleventyseven
  2. “Rolling With The Punches” – Ruth
  3. “City On Our Knees” – TobyMac
  4. “Breathing For Me” – Everyday Sunday
  5. “Broken Man” – Horizons Fall

Check that out – an early TobyMac song on my chart – and a really good one too. That was actually Toby’s 3RD hit on my chart – following the # 1 smash “Made To Love” and “Boomin'”. I had my research department (me) go even further back in time to November of 1996. That’s when TobyMac really charted for the first time – along with Michael Tait and Kevin Max. Together they were dc Talk, and they scored with a Christian # 1 smash that crossed-over onto Secular Top 40 and Adult Contemporary radio stations – “(Just) Between You And Me”. It spent a single week on my chart at # 28.

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

My Top 10 Hits – Week 146

Every Monday 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 December 01ST 2019:

  1. “Dead Man Walking” – Jeremy Camp [# 1 last week / 20TH week on chart]
  2. “Nobody (But Jesus)” – Casting Crowns Ft. Matthew West [2 / 18TH]
  3. “Faith” – Jordan Feliz [5 / 8TH]
  4. “Burn The Ships” – for King & Country [4 / 11TH]
  5. “Up Again” – Dan Bremnes [6 / 10TH]
  6. “Unstoppable God” – Sanctus Real [10 / 4TH]

  8. “Believer” – Rhett Walker [8 / 3RD]

# 1 One Year Ago This Week:
“Even Then” – Micah Tyler

# 1 Two Years Ago This Week:
“Control (Somehow You Want Me)” – Tenth Avenue North

Jeremy Camp’s 4TH hit on my chart (since 2006) is his 2ND # 1 smash, as “Dead Man Walking” ascended to the top in its 19TH week on my chart last week. (He previously spent 2 weeks at # 1 in 2017 with “Word Of Life”.)

“Nobody (But Jesus)” is still at # 2 for a 7TH non-consecutive week. That’s after 7 weeks in a row at # 1. It should come as no surprise that it will be my # 1 smash of the entire year. This New Year’s Eve on a special Tuesday blog post I’ll present my Top 19 hits of 2019.

This was a short weekend here at #CountUp, but it’s great to be blogging again. Next weekend I’ll serve up a full weekend of blog posts – starting at 3 AM U.S. East Coast Time on Thursday. In fact – looking at the calendar – it looks like I’ll be posting 19 times in December. I hope that you’ll stay tuned this month to see what I’ve got to share with you.
