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:

# 1 This Week In:

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 !

My Top 10 Hits – Week 280

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 June 26TH 2022 – the 280TH week of this current era that began on Presidents’ Day Weekend of 2017:

2 1 20 Sunday Sermons Anne Wilson
3 5 5 Love Is Everything We Need Unspoken

# 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 – “Home” – Chris Tomlin

500TH # 1 – My # 1 artist (by far) over the past 280 weeks claims my 500TH # 1 smash over the past 37 years (minus hiatus years). It’s Matthew West, and it’s his 5TH # 1 smash – 4TH as a solo artist. When I saw his passionate performance of “Me On Your Mind” at the recent K-LOVE Fan Awards – I knew I was hearing a future chart-topper. Thank You Matthew for such an uplifting song.

♫ Who am I that the King of the world
Would give one single thought about my broken heart ?
Who am I that the God of all grace
Wipes the tears from my face, and says “Come as you are” ?
You paid the price. You took the cross.
You gave Your life. And You did it all.
With me on Your mind – me on Your mind ♫

400TH # 1 – I was just wondering myself – when and what was my 400TH # 1 smash ? It was 14 years ago this month back in 2008 towards the end of the 2ND year of my Salvation Era (2006-2010). Demon Hunter hit # 1 with “Fading Away”. It was a metallic hardcore song about waiting to being rescued by the Savior – straight out of the gates of hell. It was a powerful song for the era. The band from Seattle Washington are still around. They are celebrating “Twenty Years In Exile” with a tour and new music.

This concludes another weekend of blog posts. I’ll do it again this upcoming weekend – with 5 new entries – known as  #TravelThursday, #RetroFriday#SundayScripture, a special #IndependenceDay post on the 4TH Of July, and #Top10Monday on Tuesday.

My Top 10 Hits – Week 279

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 June 19TH 2022 – the 279TH week of this current era that began on Presidents’ Day Weekend of 2017:

TW LW WKS SONG TITLE ARTIST / SITE
1 1 19 Sunday Sermons
[4TH week @ # 1]
Anne Wilson
2 3 7 Me On Your Mind Matthew West
3 2 13 Fill My Cup Andrew Ripp
4 4 15 Egypt Cory Asbury
5 8 4 Love Is Everything We Need Unspoken
6 5 5 I Will Carry You Ellie Holcomb

# 1 This Week In:
2021 – “Yes He Can” – Cain

2019 – “Church (Take Me Back)” – Cochren & Co.
2018 – “Do It Again” – Elevation Worship
2017 – “Home” – Chris Tomlin

499TH # 1 – No new # 1 this week. Anne Wilson is still at the top with her “Sunday Sermons” that sounds so good on the radio. Am I the only one who uses both hands to mimic the pressing of the keys of the organ ?

DAN BREMNES – He’s back with his 3RD hit. It’s his follow-up to “Wherever I Go” (# 5 in 2018) and “Up Again” (# 4 in 2019). “Hold You Tight” was released as a single this past February. It’s on Dan’s new album – “Into The Wild” – which dropped at retail this past Friday. It’s an infectious pop track that was written during the peak of the pandemic. When the future was bleak. When we had no idea what to expect at the end of it all – our God was there to comfort us – to love us – in the middle of it. He was lighting up the dark. He was turning chaos into art.

The LORD is like a Father to His children – tender and compassionate to those who fear Him. (Psalm 103:13 NLT)

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

My Top 10 Hits – Week 278

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 June 12TH 2022 – the 278TH week of this current era that began on Presidents’ Day Weekend of 2017:

TW LW WKS SONG TITLE ARTIST / SITE
1 1 18 Sunday Sermons
[3RD week @ # 1]
Anne Wilson
2 2 12 Fill My Cup Andrew Ripp
3 4 6 Me On Your Mind Matthew West
4 3 14 Egypt Cory Asbury
5 6 4 I Will Carry You Ellie Holcomb
6 5 20 See Me Through It Brandon Heath
7 7 20 Brighter Days Blessing Offor
8 8 3 Love Is Everything We Need Unspoken
9 9 5 For God Is With Us for King + Country
10 10 2 Hymn Of Heaven Phil Wickham

# 1 This Week In:
2021 – “Help Is On The Way (Maybe Midnight)” – TobyMac
2020 – “I Will Fear No More” – The Afters
2019 – “Born Again” – Austin French
2018 – “The Way (New Horizon)” – Pat Barrett
2017 – “Live Like You’re Loved” – Hawk Nelson

499TH # 1 – Close observers of my blog and music chart may have noticed that “Sunday Sermons” is my 499TH # 1 smash ever (since my chart’s inception in 1985). So my 500TH # 1 smash is likely on my chart right now. It could be “Fill My Cup”, or “Me On Your Mind”, or maybe even “I Will Carry You”. We’ll find out next week, or the following week, or the week after that. #StayTuned

FORMER # 1s – Close observers of my blog and music chart may have also noticed that there have been some subtle updates recently to my # 1 HITS INDEX page. I’m currently updating the “Stateside Pop Era” which represents my 105 # 1 hits from the end of 1987 to nearly the end of 1992. I’m hoping to get that chart completed and uploaded in the weeks to come. #StayTuned

2 HITS TO BEAT – Both “See Me Through It” and “Brighter Days” spend their 20TH week each on my chart this week. They are back-to-back # 1 hits from March and April that entered my chart at # 9 and # 10 respectively at the end of January. Right now they are my Top 2 hits of 2022. They are two different styles of music, but they both point to our God Almighty as the Way – in the trial and the pain – fire and the rain – love will find you in your pain. #OurGodIsGreat

This would normally conclude another weekend of blog posts, but I’ve got another one tomorrow (Tuesday). Next weekend it’s back to normal – with 4 new entries – known as #TravelThursday#RetroFriday,  #SundayScripture, and #Top10Monday.
