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 November 23RD 2025 – the 458TH week of this current era that began on Presidents’ Day Weekend of 2017:

CHRIS TOMLIN – His 11TH hit on my chart is on the verge of becoming his 4TH # 1 smash, as the anthemic “How Good It Is” rises another notch to # 2. It’s the first single off his 18TH studio album – “The King Is Still The King”. It’s a ready-made Praise + Worship song for church bands with lyrics taken straight from Psalms 92, 98, 100, and 113.

ONE-HIT WONDER – Bethel Music are based out of Redding California with Brian Johnson as its Cofounder and Jenn Johnson as its President. Both have appeared on my chart before. And they appeared together on “God Of Revival” – a # 2 hit in May 2021. But the Bethel Music collective of artists appeared just once on my chart – and it was for a # 1 smash during the Summer Of 2019. In fact – “Raise A Hallelujah” was my # 1 song of the entire summer.

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).

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.

JOSIAH X BRANDON – Josiah Queen and Brandon Lake remain at the pinnacle of my chart for a 7TH week in a row. It’s now my longest-running # 1 smash since last December and January when Steven Curtis Chapman spent 7 weeks at # 1 with “Do It Again”. If it can hold on at the top for another 2 weeks then it’ll tie the 9 weeks at # 1 that Housefires Ft. JWLKRS Worship spent with “I Thank God”.

ONE-HIT WONDER – You may not remember the band Switch – but you probably remember their big hit “Symphony”. It was all over U.S. Christian Radio during the Summer Of 2019, and it still receives recurrent airplay 6 years later. It spent 15 weeks on my chart – peaking at # 2. The band that sang “Symphony” came out of the high school ministry of the multi-campus LIFE.CHURCH.

FOR KING + COUNTRY – Brothers Joel and Luke are back with their 12TH hit on my chart since 2017. Check out the official music video for “World On Fire” – filmed in the Dominican Republic:

ONE-HIT WONDER – Mack Brock led Elevation Worship for 10 years from 2007 to 2017, and then he left and went solo. Before he left – he cowrote, coproduced, and sang lead on “Do It Again” which is my # 8 hit overall of the past 456 weeks. During the Summer of 2019 he did it again. He cowrote, coproduced, and sang lead on their follow-up hit – “Resurrecting”. At the same time – he spent 13 weeks on my chart with his debut solo hit – “Greater Things”. He’s still releasing new music these days, but none of it seems to be catching on via radio.

BLESSING OFFOR – He’s back with his 5TH hit – and 3RD by himself (not as a featured artist). “Lift Me Up” is gaining momentum at U.S. Christian Radio – including both K-LOVE and The Joy FM. I like the up-tempo feel of the song, and I like its lyrics. He’s asking God to remind him of what he’s made of. He wants God to lift him up. And God will.

ONE-HIT WONDER – Jamie Kimmett spent 16 weeks on my chart – including 2 weeks at # 1 in July 2019 – with “Prize Worth Fighting For”. What a great song that was that summer. That’s the last we heard him on the radio. On an August night in 2021 Jamie was involved in a serious multiple-rollover car accident in Arkansas and hit by an 18-wheeler truck. He was airlifted by helicopter to a local hospital in stable condition. He was banged up pretty badly, but luckily he had no broken bones or internal damage. God protected him on that night. Nowadays he’s on tour singing for God with Sanctus Real.
