My Top 10 Hits – Week 166

Post author By Chris M. Day
Post date April 20, 2020

Every Monday I post my all-new Top 10 Christian hit music chart based on personal preference and influenced by radio airplay. It’s the continuation of a weekly hobby that goes back 40+ years. Here it is – for the week ending Sunday April 19TH 2020:

“Almost Home” – MercyMe [# 1 last week / 18TH week on chart]
“Alive And Breathing” – Matt Maher [2 / 6TH]
“I Will Fear No More” – The Afters [3 / 13TH]
“(I’ll) Never Let You Down” – Hawk Nelson Ft. Hunter & Tara [4 / 4TH]
“See A Victory” – Elevation Worship [5 / 11TH]
“Your Name Is Power” – Rend Collective [7 / 15TH]
“The God Who Stays” – Matthew West [9 / 22ND]
“Waymaker” – Michael W. Smith Ft. Vanessa Campagna [10 / 13TH]
“Amen” – Micah Tyler [6 / 9TH]
“Keep Me In The Moment” – Jeremy Camp [- / 1ST]

# 1 This Week In:
2019 – “Greatness Of Our God” – Newsboys
2018 – “Freedom Hymn” – Austin French
2017 – “Even If” – MercyMe

No change at the top – or in the Top 5. All of the action is in the bottom-half of my Top 10 as several long-running songs actually ease back up a notch or two.

Jeremy Camp is back with his follow-up to my # 1 smash “Dead Man Walking”. It’s his 4TH hit since 2017, and he joins The Afters, Hawk Nelson, and Michael W. Smith as current artists who were on my chart during previous eras. Jeremy made his debut on my chart in November 2006 with “Tonight”.

I’ve seen Jeremy LIVE in concert 4 times now (since 2015) – including twice in 2020 alone ! He puts on a solid set of his hits past and present, and I love his story as told in the recent movie “I Still Believe”.

I also love his new hit. Check out his official music video:

This concludes another weekend of blog posts. I’ll do it again this upcoming weekend – with 4 new entries 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 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 the 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.

Coming up on Memorial Day Weekend here in the U.S. I’ll present a special Tuesday blog post featuring all of my # 1 hits since my chart was resurrected for this current era in February of 2017. It will be a 5TH blog post for that holiday weekend, and it will become a permanent page that will be maintained on this web site. By then maybe we’ll have my 50TH # 1 hit. (“Almost Home” is # 46.)

♫ Almost home
Brother it won’t be long
Soon all your burdens will be gone
With all your strength
Sister run wild – run free
Hold up your head
Keep pressing on
We are almost home ♫

Be blessed my friends ! May the 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.

Monday Night Countdown

Early in the morning during a typical 7-mile drive from home to work nearly two years ago towards the end of August 2006 I flipped the radio dial off of Y-100 (Mainstream / Secular TOP 40) and discovered CALL-FM (Christian TOP 40). Little did I know that such a mundane moment as changing the radio station in the car would signal the beginning of God’s fantastic journey for me. Little did I know that my previous life was about to come to a gradual end. Little did I know that I was about to be saved and reborn onto a new Life.

Peter 1:23-25 (NLT)
23 For you have been born again. Your new Life did not come from your earthly parents because the life they gave you will end in death. But this new Life will last forever because it comes from the eternal, living word of God.
24 As the prophet says, “People are like grass that dies away; their beauty fades as quickly as the beauty of wildflowers. The grass withers, and the flowers fall away.
25 But the word of the Lord will last forever.” And that word is the Good News that was preached to you.

This life-changing period in time was clearly documented at the time on my once popular hit music web site. This week’s ‘Monday Night Countdown’ signifies what was essentially my personal soundtrack at the time. It’s the TOP 5 songs that were on the radio at the time as God was rescuing me from the darkness and leading me into the daylight.

5. Love Addict – Family Force 5

4. High Of 75 – Relient K

3. Time After Time – Spoken

2. The Stand – Last Tuesday

1. Desensitized – Jonah33
