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 almost 50 years. Here’s this week’s chart – for the week ending Sunday December 28TH 2025 – the 463RD week of this current era that began on Presidents’ Day Weekend of 2017:

# 1 This Week In:
2024 – “Do It Again” – Steven Curtis Chapman
2023 – “I Thank God” – Housefires Ft. JWLKRS Worship
2022 – “Who I Am” – Ben Fuller
2021 – “Weary Traveler” – Jordan St. Cyr
2020 – “Every Step Of The Way” – Cade Thompson
2019 – “Unstoppable God” – Sanctus Real
2018 – “Well Done” – The Afters
2017 – “Lions” – Skillet

TOP 25 OF 2025 – It’s my final chart of 2025, and it looks just like last week’s chart with no change at all. That should change with next week’s chart, as my favorite radio stations return to regular Christian hit music programming. I heard the brand-new Phil Wickam song for the first time on Christmas Morning, and “Homesick For Heaven” sounds like the first big hit of 2026. But before then – tomorrow – Tuesday December 30TH 2025 – I’ll present my special year-end chart – My Top 25 Of 2025. Speaking of Phil Wickham … #ToBeContinued

ONE-HIT WONDER – Stephen Stanley from Mansfield Georgia is a guitarist, pianist, drummer, songwriter, and singer. He leads worship at Crossroads Baptist Church (40 miles ESE of Atlanta) where his dad Brandon is the Lead Pastor. In April and May 2021 he scored a hit on my chart that peaked for 2 weeks at # 9 – “No Hopeless Soul”.

SPOTIFY – You can hear “My Top 10 Hits” anytime by accessing my CountUp playlist on Spotify. All 10 hits are there from top to bottom. You can hear them in order from # 1 to # 10, or you can shuffle them. My playlist will be updated every weekend (usually before the actual chart is presented here on Mondays). You can link to it here.

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. God used loud music on the radio in South Florida to reach me in August of 2006. I’ve been testifying about Him ever since.

Be blessed my friends !  May our 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.

It’s the continuation of a weekly hobby that goes back almost 50 years. Here’s this week’s chart – for the week ending Sunday December 21ST 2025 – the 462ND week of this current era that began on Presidents’ Day Weekend of 2017:

# 1 This Week In:
2024 – “Do It Again” – Steven Curtis Chapman

2018 – “Well Done” – The Afters
2017 – “Control (Somehow You Want Me)” – Tenth Avenue North

TOP 25 OF 2025 – This week’s chart is the penultimate chart of 2025. Next Monday I’ll present my 52ND and final chart of the year. And then the very next day – Tuesday December 30TH 2025 – I’ll present my special year-end chart – My Top 25 Of 2025. Spoiler Alert: 4 of my Top 10 songs above will appear on the year-end-chart – and perhaps a 5TH song as well.

ONE-HIT WONDER – Matty Mullins scored a # 1 smash on my chart in November 2020 with “No Hold On Me”. You may know him as the longtime lead singer of Memphis May Fire. He’s also the new lead singer of Anberlin. If you have a really good memory, and you’ve been following my chart since the mid-to-late-2000s then you may remember 3 hits that Anberlin placed on my chart back then – long before Matty joined the band.

SPOTIFY – You can hear “My Top 10 Hits” anytime by accessing my CountUp playlist on Spotify. All 10 hits are there from top to bottom. You can hear them in order from # 1 to # 10, or you can shuffle them. My playlist will be updated every weekend (usually before the actual chart is presented here on Mondays).

2017 – “Control (Somehow You Want Me)” – Tenth Avenue North

CHRIS TOMLIN – 3 weeks ago I hinted that his 11TH hit on my chart was on the verge of becoming his 4TH # 1 smash, and so it is. “How Good It Is” ascends to the pinnacle. It’s the first single off his 18TH studio album – “The King Is Still The King”. It’s a ready-made Sunday Morning Praise + Worship song for church bands – with lyrics taken straight from Psalms 92, 98, 100, and 113.

ONE-HIT WONDER – Building 429 – named after Ephesians 4:29 – scored a HUGE # 1 smash in October and November 2019 with “Fear No More”. In addition to its 6 consecutive weeks at # 1 – it also spent 7 consecutive weeks at # 2. To this day it is still one of my Top 40 songs of the past 461 weeks (based on chart performance). It was actually the band’s last big hit after 15 years of hits on the radio. Nowadays lead singer Jason Roy is the only remaining member. He continues touring with new musicians supporting him.
