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.

PETER BURTON – For much of the latter portion of last year – I noticed an artist who I had never heard of with his song lingering down near the bottom of the national Christian pop music charts. It had a few hundred airplays each week, but its audience reach was fractional (well below a million). It was essentially being played at many local radio stations, but none of the big stations in big cities on regional or national networks. It took a while, but luckily Peter Burton’s debut song “Where Would I Be” got noticed, gained momentum, and is now one of the hottest new songs on the radio. His song was inspired by his struggles with mental illness and his victorious journey with Christ.
ONE-HIT WONDER – All Creatures are singer Chris Cron and producer Ben Thompson. Their debut song – stylized as “[wonder working]” – was a quick hit on the radio from March to May of 2022. It spent 2 weeks at # 1 as my 73RD chart-topper of this current era, and then the song inexplicably disappeared from the radio. Aside from my Spotify playlists – I don’t think I’ve heard it on the radio since then. It’s such a great overlooked song.
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.
