My Top 10 Hits – Week 282

Post author By Chris M. Day
Post date July 11, 2022

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 nearly 45 years. Here’s this week’s chart – for the week ending Sunday July 10TH 2022 – the 282ND week of this current era that began on Presidents’ Day Weekend of 2017:

TW	LW	WKS	SONG TITLE	ARTIST / SITE
1	4	4	Getting Started [1ST week @ # 1]	Jeremy Camp
2	1	10	Me On Your Mind	Matthew West
3	3	7	Love Is Everything We Need	Unspoken
4	2	22	Sunday Sermons	Anne Wilson
5	5	4	Hold You Tight	Dan Bremnes
6	8	24	See Me Through It	Brandon Heath
7	9	24	Brighter Days	Blessing Offor
8	6	16	Fill My Cup	Andrew Ripp
9	–	1	The Goodness	TobyMac Ft. Blessing Offor
10	10	3	Thank God For Sunday Morning	Cochren & Co.

# 1 This Week In:
2021 – “Be Alright” – Evan Craft X Danny Gokey X Redimi2
2020 – “Keep Me In The Moment” – Jeremy Camp
2019 – “Church (Take Me Back)” – Cochren & Co.
2018 – “Do It Again” – Elevation Worship
2017 – “The Comeback” – Danny Gokey

NEW # 1 – This one surprised even me, and this is my own chart. After just 2 weeks at # 1 (as my 500TH # 1) Matthew West slips unexpectedly to # 2 with “Me On Your Mind”. Replacing Matthew is another one of my favorite singers – Jeremy Camp. His 7TH single since 2017 (8TH overall) is now his 4TH # 1 smash, as “Getting Started” ascends to the top. Released as a radio single in late-February it took a little while to become a hit. It’s his 2ND single from his 2021 album “When You Speak” which he wrote in 2020 during the onset and peak of the pandemic.

UNSPOKEN – Their 5TH single is a Top 3 hit, and I love its feel on the radio. I also love its lyrics – particularly these:

♫ The devil is crafty and we fall right into his trap
We might not be swinging our fists
But we’ll talk behind somebody’s back
How we gonna look like Jesus
When we’re only looking out for ourselves
Real love is giving our lives for somebody else ♫

That’ll preach, for “Love Is Everything We Need”.

This concludes another weekend of blog posts. I’ll do it again with the new weekend – and 4 new entries – known as #TravelThursday, #RetroFriday, #SundayScripture, and #Top10Monday.

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. I’m also on Twitter and Flickr.

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.

Greetings my friends. It is Sunday July 10TH 2022, and this is the day that our LORD has made. Let us rejoice. Let us be glad in it. Let us celebrate this great new day of believing, following, trusting, loving, and being more like our Lord & Savior Jesus Christ.

I love to meet new people. I also love to travel – whether it’s for a single day, or several days, or a week or more. I meet some great people on my travels – loving what they are doing. A couple of days ago I spent the day over in Naples Florida – about 110 miles away from home. I’ll share my day with you in Naples on my next #TravelThursday.

I saw this on social media a few days ago, and I thought to myself that I can use it in a future sermon. I think that most Christians have probably been in this situation many times:

Again I say – don’t get involved in foolish ignorant arguments that only start fights. A servant of the Lord must not quarrel, but must be kind to everyone, be able to teach, and be patient with difficult people. Gently instruct those who oppose the truth. Perhaps God will change those people’s hearts, and they will learn the truth. (2 Timothy 2:23-25)

If you wish to learn more about the God I know then stay tuned to #SundayScripture. The best is yet to come !

Thank you for reading my blog for this day, and may:

The LORD bless you, and keep you.
The LORD make His face shine upon you, and be gracious to you.
The LORD lift up His countenance upon you, and give you peace.

In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. AMEN.

Welcome To My Blog

Post author By Chris M. Day
Post date July 6, 2022

Greetings my friends. It’s Wednesday July 06TH 2022, and with this special edition I begin a new weekend of blog posts.

Normally I publish new blog posts 4 times per weekend – on Thursdays, Fridays, Sundays, and Mondays at 3 AM U.S. east coast time. (That’s 9 AM across much of Europe where many of you are reading this from.)

Each day has its own unique theme. My Thursday posts are travel-related. My Friday posts are retro music-related. My Sunday posts are Scripture-related. My Monday posts are current music-related. So my hashtags are #TravelThursday, #RetroFriday, #SundayScripture, and #Top10Monday.

A few times per year I publish occasional special posts on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. It all adds up to over 200 blog posts per year.

This blog has experienced steady growth over the first 6 months of 2022. If you’re new here then I welcome you. Thank You for checking it out. You may have clicked on my link on Facebook, Twitter, or Flickr. Perhaps Google or Feedspot sent you here awhile back, and you’ve been returning on a regular basis. Maybe you only read my posts on #TravelThursday, or you’re only interested in my Gospel messages on Sundays. Either way I’m glad you’re here. This is a no-judgement zone. This is also a politics-free space online. There’s plenty of judgement and politics elsewhere.

Feel free to comment with relevance on any post. You can also reach me on Twitter @ChrisMDay. Some of you have your own blogs that I check out on a regular basis. Keep doing what you do. Keep blogging alive !

I’ve been blogging since 2007, and really I was blogging for 14 years before that via my own dial-up bulletin board system (BBS) and its spinoffs on the early World Wide Web of the late-1990s into the early-2000s. It’s my favorite hobby online. But I can get too much of a good thing; hence, the typical 4-post-per-week schedule.

#TravelThursday is up next in less than 24 hours. I hope that you’ll check it out sometime during the day tomorrow.

My Top 10 Hits – Week 281

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 nearly 45 years. Here’s this week’s chart – for the week ending Sunday July 03RD 2022 – the 281ST week of this current era that began on Presidents’ Day Weekend of 2017:

TW	LW	WKS	SONG TITLE	ARTIST / SITE
1	1	9	Me On Your Mind [2ND week @ # 1]	Matthew West
2	2	21	Sunday Sermons	Anne Wilson
3	3	6	Love Is Everything We Need	Unspoken

10	10	2	Thank God For Sunday Morning	Cochren & Co.

# 1 This Week In:
2021 – “Yes He Can” – Cain
2020 – “Keep Me In The Moment” – Jeremy Camp
2019 – “Church (Take Me Back)” – Cochren & Co.
2018 – “Do It Again” – Elevation Worship
2017 – “The Comeback” – Danny Gokey

4TH OF JULY # 1 – I usually don’t mention it, but a couple of months prior (May) I try to figure out who and what will be my # 1 smash on the 4TH Of July. I had a feeling that Matthew West would be the who – with “Me On Your Mind” as the what. It’s the typical Matthew West song of the past 5+ years, and he has never failed to reach either # 1 or # 2 on my chart. That’s why he’s my favorite singer – and awards show host.

JEREMY CAMP – He’s statistically my 4TH favorite singer over the past 281 weeks. Like Matthew West he’s got his 7TH single on my chart over the same time-period. “Getting Started” just sounds good on the radio. Set to a peppy beat – it’s a song for all the broken-hearted. I believe you’re only getting started:

This concludes another weekend of blog posts. I’ll do it again this upcoming weekend – with 5 new entries – known as #TravelThursday, #RetroFriday, #SundayScripture, #Top10Monday, and a special blog post that starts the new weekend tomorrow !

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.
