The Major’s Top 10 Hits – Week 98

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 December 30TH 2018:

  1. “Well Done” – The Afters [# 1 last week / 11TH week on chart]
  2. “Nobody Loves Me Like You” – Chris Tomlin [3 / 9TH]
  3. “Even Then” – Micah Tyler [2 / 20TH]
  4. “joy” – for King & Country [5 / 6TH]
  5. “Known” – Tauren Wells [4 / 21ST]
  6. “Maybe It’s OK” – We Are Messengers [6 / 5TH]
  7. “Not Today” – Hillsong United [7 / 15TH]
  8. “Red Letters” – Crowder [9 / 2ND]
  9. “Best News Ever” – MercyMe [10 / 2ND]
  10. “Forever On Your Side” – NeedToBreathe [- / 1ST]

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

It’s my 52ND and final weekly chart of 2018, as The Afters spend a 3RD week at the top with their latest “Well Done”. The Afters are the only act on my current chart who also charted during the previous “salvation” era of my chart from 2006 to 2010. In fact their long-running debut smash “Never Going Back To OK” was at # 9 on the final weekly chart of 2007. Interestingly Skillet (# 1 a year ago) also charted during that “salvation” era – with 6 hits !

NeedToBreathe’s “Forever On Your Side” becomes the 57TH hit on my weekly chart in 2018. Tomorrow – New Year’s Day – in a special bonus blog post – I’ll #CountUp my Top 18 hits of 2018 from # 1 to # 18. 3 hits on my current weekly chart will be on the Top 18 chart.

For those of you who check out my blog mostly on Mondays to track the hits I thank you so much for supporting Christian artists and their music. God used His music to rescue me and save me back in August of 2006. He used His music on the radio to pull me out of the darkness and bring me closer to Him.

2018 was a fun year of compiling my weekly charts, and I’ll keep it going every Monday night in 2019. It’s compiled all throughout the week, and it’s published after 6 PM U.S. East Coast time on Monday nights.

This is my 167TH and final blog post of 2018. I pray for a safe and secure New Year’s Eve for you, and we’ll hang out again all throughout 2019 here on “Saturday Night Retro” – one of my CountUp Ministries.

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 December 28TH 2008:

  1. “Maps” – Falling Up
  2. “Say What You Will” – Ever Stays Red
  3. “Sure Shot” – Run Kid Run
  4. “Outrage” – Capital Lights
  5. “I Give Up” – Stellar Kart

These are the same Top 5 songs as 3 weeks ago when I last went #Retro in 2008, but the songs are in a slightly different order – aside from “Maps” still at # 1.

As 2018 comes to a close and we jump in to 2019 I’ll be exploring the history of my chart (and life) from 1989, 1999, and 2009 on Friday nights. Those were 3 fun years in my life. I’m looking forward to going #Retro in the new year.

It’s halftime. I’ll be back on Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday with my remaining three blog posts for this weekend. Enjoy your Saturday. Be safe as the sun goes down on 2018.

To all of my readers – whether you are an occasional visitor, or a regular, or even a follower – I wish you a very Merry Christmas. May it be filled with abundant blessings from God, and good times with family and friends. Enjoy the fellowship and food. Always remember the reason for this season.

For a Child is born to us. A Son is given to us. The Government will rest on His shoulders. And He will be called:  Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince Of Peace. (Isaiah 9:6 NLT)

This concludes another weekend of blog posts. I’ll do it again next weekend – 5 blog posts on Thursday, Friday, Sunday, Monday, and a special bonus post on Tuesday (New Year’s Day). 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.

30 years ago this weekend I was in Northern Virginia (Fairfax County – just outside of Washington D.C.) spending time with my family – my Dad, Mom, 13-year-old brother, and Fluffy and Barney (the young cats).

Back then we celebrated Fluffy’s 5TH Anniversary with our family. She joined us two days before Christmas of 1983.

11 years ago here on this blog I wrote about Fluffy’s arrival. Check it out here.

It’s halftime. I’ll be back on Monday with my brand new Top 10 chart for this week.
