The Major’s Top 5 Hits RETRO – 2008

Every Friday night I post the Top 5 of one of my classic hit music charts based on personal preference from either 10, 20, or 30 years ago (rotating each week). Here it is – for the week ending Sunday October 12TH 2008:

  1. “The Sky” – Showbread
  2. “Put Your Lips To The TV” – Project 86
  3. “Stop It” – The Almost
  4. “I Can’t Stand To Fall” – Philmont
  5. “Sleeping In” – Nevertheless

Hurricane Michael made landfall earlier this week as a borderline Category 4 / Category 5 along the Florida Panhandle east of Panama City and Tyndall AFB at the small town of Mexico Beach. There’s catastrophic destruction all across the region. It’ll never look the same again. I’ve been praying for the safety and security of my fellow Floridians up there since the storm was a mere unnamed Tropical Wave off the Yucatan Peninsula headed northward towards the Gulf Coast. May God provide peace and comfort to those living through the aftermath of this storm.

Florida is a very wide state from northwest to southeast. I live in the far southeast corner of the state – between Miami and Key Largo (closer to the latter). Landfall was nearly 600 miles away from me. There was no effect here. We’ve been lucky all season here, and we hope that luck continues.

It’s halftime. I’ll be back on Sunday and Monday with my remaining two blogs for this weekend. Enjoy your Saturday. Thank You for your time.

The Major’s Top 10 Hits – Week 86

Every Monday night I post my all-new Top 10 Christian hit music chart based on personal preference. Here it is – for the week ending Sunday October 07TH 2018:

  1. “Only Jesus” – Casting Crowns [# 1 last week / 6TH week on chart]
  2. “You Say” – Lauren Daigle [3 / 6TH]
  3. “Who You Say I Am” – Hillsong Worship [2 / 11TH]
  4. “Even Then” – Micah Tyler [4 / 8TH]
  5. “Known” – Tauren Wells [7 / 9TH]
  6. “Survivor” – Zach Williams [9 / 3RD]
  7. “Not Today” – Hillsong United [10 / 3RD]
  8. “Wherever I Go” – Dan Bremnes [6 / 14TH]
  9. “Stand In Your Love” – Josh Baldwin [- / 1ST]
  10. “Everything” – TobyMac [8 / 9TH]

Happy Columbus Day (U.S.A.) and Happy Thanksgiving Day (Canada) !

Casting Crowns are holding tough at # 1, but Lauren Daigle is coming up strong at # 2. My Lead Pastor Bob played the entire lyric video for “You Say” during a powerful segment of his sermon “I Believe” yesterday, and I sang along to it. Right after that he played the entire music video for Chris Tomlin’s “God’s Great Dance Floor” – and a dance party unexpectedly broke out in the sanctuary. I felt like I was back at my old twentysomething church again !

I’m still waiting for my copy of the brand new for King & Country album “Burn The Ships” to arrive in my (old-fashioned) mailbox. (I got a free copy for buying a concert ticket to their upcoming show in Southwest Florida in December.)

This concludes my weekend of 4 blog posts. Next weekend I’ll do it again 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 God bless you – always and forever.

The Major’s Top 5 Hits RETRO – 1988

Every Friday night I post the Top 5 of one of my classic hit music charts based on personal preference from either 10, 20, or 30 years ago (rotating each week). Here it is – for the week ending Sunday October 09TH 1988:

  1. “Somewhere In My Heart” – Aztec Camera
  2. “Kokomo” – The Beach Boys
  3. “With A Little Help From My Friends” – Wet Wet Wet
  4. “Sign Your Name” – Terence Trent D’arby
  5. “Don’t Be Cruel” – Cheap Trick

I’m coming up on the 31ST anniversary of when I left the United Kingdom behind and returned stateside. I lived over there for exactly 2 years and 1 week, and it was the ultimate experience of a lifetime living as a young American in a foreign country. My favorite part of living there was the British pop music scene. I attended the first 17 music concerts of my life during my time in England. I often state that my best 2 years as a teenager – was when I was 19 and 20 over there.

The British pop music scene followed me across the sea and invaded America in 1988 (see any Billboard chart from that year). This song didn’t quite make it over here, but it was my # 1 smash 30 years ago this weekend:

 

It’s halftime. I’ll be back on Sunday and Monday with my remaining two blogs for this weekend. Enjoy your Saturday. Make memories of a lifetime that will have you looking back at them fondly some 30 years from now !

The Major’s Top 10 Hits – Week 85

Every Monday night I post my all-new Top 10 Christian hit music chart based on personal preference. Here it is – for the week ending Sunday September 30TH 2018:

  1. “Only Jesus” – Casting Crowns [# 1 last week / 5TH week on chart]
  2. “Who You Say I Am” – Hillsong Worship [2 / 10TH]
  3. “You Say” – Lauren Daigle [8 / 5TH]
  4. “Even Then” – Micah Tyler [4 / 7TH]
  5. “Do It Again” – Elevation Worship [3 / 22ND]
  6. “Wherever I Go” – Dan Bremnes [5 / 13TH]
  7. “Known” – Tauren Wells [6 / 8TH]
  8. “Everything” – TobyMac [7 / 8TH]
  9. “Survivor” – Zach Williams [9 / 2ND]
  10. “Not Today” – Hillsong United [10 / 2ND]

Looks like we’re getting ready to lose Elevation Worship from my chart. Its impressive chart run includes 4 weeks at # 1, 10 weeks at # 2, and 5 weeks at # 3. It’s the # 1 smash of 2018, and (spoiler alert) – it’ll likely still be the # 1 smash of the entire year when I count-up my Top 18 hits of 2018 on a special Tuesday January 01ST 2019 blog post. (That’s exactly 3 months from today.)

I’ll be seeing TobyMac again – LIVE in concert – right here in South Florida this upcoming February. TobyMac was # 1 on my chart on the night that I saw him in concert in Tallahassee in February of 2017. In fact “Love Broke Thru” resurrected and christened this chart as the only song on that very first chart. (The following week my chart expanded to a Top 3 – and then a Top 5 the week after that – and then a Top 10 in its 4TH week.)

This concludes my shortened weekend of 2 blog posts. Next weekend it’s back to 4 blog posts on Thursday, Friday, Sunday, and Monday. I don’t blog on Saturdays. That’s my day of rest.
