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 April 26TH 2026 – the 480TH week of this current era that began on Presidents’ Day Weekend of 2017:

PETER BURTON – He spends his 13TH week at # 1 high atop my chart with “Where Would I Be”. That makes it my longest-running Christian # 1 song of all-time (since my fantastic journey began in 2006). It’s also my longest-running # 1 song of any genre in nearly 24 years – since DJ Sammy spent 13 non-consecutive weeks at # 1 with “Heaven”. Before that in 2000 – Creed spent 13 non-consecutive weeks at # 1 with “Higher”. As far as 13 weeks in a row at # 1 – that hasn’t happened in over 28 years when Chumbawamba spent 18 weeks in a row at # 1 with “Tubthumping”.
ONE-HIT WONDER – Earlier this year – Sons Of Sunday – wrapped-up a 7-week stay on my chart – peaking at # 5 with “God Did !”. Sons Of Sunday consisted of (in alphabetical order by last name) Pat Barrett, Chris Brown, Steven Furtick, Brandon Lake, Chandler Moore, and Leeland Dayton Mooring.
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.
