The Major’s Top 5 Hits RETRO – 1998

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 September 20TH 1998:

  1. “Take Me Away” – Mix Factory
  2. “Tearin’ Up My Heart” – ‘N Sync
  3. “Studio 54 Megamix” – Studio 54 All-Stars
  4. “I Want You Back” – ‘N Sync
  5. “The Way” – Fastball

3 of the 5 hits above were 3 of the Top 4 hottest hits of the entire year that was 1998. The other 2 of the 5 hits above … were deep house tracks.

Mix Factory’s “Take Me Away” is still a favorite of mine 20 years later. It’s received nearly 700 plays on my various iPod Shuffles over the past 11 years.

20 years ago this weekend deadly Category-4 (almost Category-5) Hurricane Georges was rapidly barreling through the Caribbean towards South Florida, and we prepared for the worst. It made one of its many landfalls directly over Key West as a 105 MPH Category-2. Damage was extensive from Key West To Key Largo and northward into Miami-Dade County and the mainland.

It’s halftime. I’ll be back on Sunday with Scripture, and then on Monday it’s my brand new Top 10 music chart. Enjoy your Saturday. Be safe. Have fun. Love all. Live life.

Autumnal Equinox

It’s the start of a fresh new weekend here on my blog. Autumn arrives this weekend. The Equinox occurs at 9:54 PM EDT this Saturday September 22ND. That’s when the Sun crosses the Equator and continues its progression into the Southern Hemisphere (where Spring begins). Hello to my friends reading this in South Africa, Australia, and New Zealand !

Here in South Florida our 5-month rainy season continues for about another 3½ weeks. Rainy season generally ends with the arrival of our first significant cold front of the season within 5 days (before or after) October 15TH. Our hurricane season continues until the end of November.

Next week I’ll be in wild and wonderful Wichita Falls Texas, and it will feel like Autumn with 50s and 60s in the mornings and 70s by day with showers possible each day. I shall pack accordingly.

Tomorrow night here on my blog I’ll go RETRO to 20 years ago – back to 1998.

The Major’s Top 10 Hits – Week 83

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 16TH 2018:

  1. “Only Jesus” – Casting Crowns [# 8 last week / 3RD week on chart]
  2. “Do It Again” – Elevation Worship [2 / 20TH]
  3. “Who You Say I Am” – Hillsong Worship [1 / 8TH]
  4. “Known” – Tauren Wells [4 / 6TH]
  5. “Everything” – TobyMac [5 / 6TH]
  6. “Grace Got You” – MercyMe [3 / 24TH]
  7. “Even Then” – Micah Tyler [9 / 5TH]
  8. “Wherever I Go” – Dan Bremnes [10 / 11TH]
  9. “You Say” – Lauren Daigle [6 / 3RD]
  10. “Surrounded (Fight My Battles)” – Michael W. Smith [7 / 3RD]

The 83RD week of my chart brings my 26TH # 1 smash, as Casting Crowns skyrockets from # 8 to # 1 with their 2ND chart-topper. They were also my 5TH # 1 smash in May of 2017 with “Oh My Soul”. This past March “God Of All My Days” stalled at # 9.

Casting Crowns have been around for almost 20 years, but I’ve only known about them since the start of this current “Positive & Encouraging” era of my chart. I’ve gotten to know some of their great music over the past decade via K-LOVE. I’m a fan now !

Here’s the official lyric music video for “Only Jesus”. It is well done. Check it out:

 

This concludes my 4 blogs this weekend. I’ll be back next weekend with all-new blogs 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 win souls for Christ. Enjoy this week. And remember – Jesus is the only name to remember.

Sunday Scripture

Today at Living Waters our Lead Pastor Bob preached out of Exodus 3 on Moses and “The Burning Bush Mystery” (subtitled “The Making Of A Servant”). It was a sermon for the whole church body, but especially for his up-and-coming Associate Pastors. It was Good News and good advice for the future of my ministry.

Exodus 3-5
