Every Monday night I post my all-new Top 10 Christian hit music chart based on personal preference. Here it is – for the week ending Sunday August 26TH 2018:

1. “Who You Say I Am” – Hillsong Worship [# 1 last week / 5TH week on chart]
2. “Do It Again” – Elevation Worship [3 / 17TH]
3. “Grace Got You” – MercyMe [4 / 21ST]
4. “Everything” – TobyMac [5 / 3RD]
5. “Known” – Tauren Wells [7 / 3RD]
6. “The Breakup Song” – Francesca Battistelli [6 / 7TH]
7. “Dream Small” – Josh Wilson [2 / 13TH]
8. “Heaven On Earth” – Stars Go Dim [8 / 6TH]
9. “Wherever I Go” – Dan Bremnes [9 / 8TH]
10. “Even Then” – Micah Tyler [10 / 2ND]

We’ve made it to Week 80 of this current Christian pop era of my personal hit music chart – mostly inspired by Positive & Encouraging K-LOVE. (Occasionally I tune-in to The Message on SiriusXM.)

Top 3 Highlights:  Elevation Worship’s “Do It Again” spends its 15TH non-consecutive week in my Top 3. MercyMe’s “Grace Got You” is now the # 1 smash in the entire 80-week rebirthing of my chart.

Tauren Wells reaches my Top 5 for the first time ever. Tauren describes his hit in this way – “Known” was inspired by a quote from Timothy Keller that says “to be loved and not known is comforting but superficial. To be known but not loved is our greatest fear. But to be fully known and fully loved is a lot like being loved by God.” It is amazing to me that God could see me in my entirety and love me fully. That is ridiculous grace – as the song says – and yet He loves me so much that He confronts me with His truth so that I can become more like Him. That is very special.

This concludes my 4 blogs this weekend. I’ll be back next weekend with all-new blogs on Thursday, Friday, Sunday, Monday, and a special blog on Tuesday. 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 win souls for Christ. Enjoy this week. Love God’s children just as He loves you unconditionally.

Every Monday night I post my all-new Top 10 Christian hit music chart based on personal preference. Here it is – for the week ending Sunday August 12TH 2018:

1. “Dream Small” – Josh Wilson [# 1 last week / 11TH week on chart]
2. “Do It Again” – Elevation Worship [3 / 15TH]
3. “Grace Got You” – MercyMe [2 / 19TH]
4. “Who You Say I Am” – Hillsong Worship [7 / 3RD]
5. “The Breakup Song” – Francesca Battistelli [6 / 5TH]
6. “Everything” – TobyMac [- / 1ST]
7. “Known” – Tauren Wells [- / 1ST]
8. “Heaven On Earth” – Stars Go Dim [8 / 4TH]
9. “Wherever I Go” – Dan Bremnes [10 / 6TH]

We lost Pat Barrett and Chris Tomlin this week. “The Way (New Horizon)” and “Resurrection Power” both fall off my chart after a combined 40 weeks. Both artists were headliners at “Worship Night In America” which I attended in April here in South Florida, and they performed both songs. Tauren Wells was also a headliner on that Glorious night. His new song “Known” debuts this week at # 7.

TobyMac is back too. He debuts at # 6 with his latest hit “Everything”. I really like this song. It reminds me of an up-tempo 1980s-era Pop / R & B song. I wasn’t a big fan of his previous effort “I Just Need U.” (which also sounded like a 1980s-era Pop / R & B track), so I’m glad he’s back on-track with a song that I can hum, sing, and dance to. This one could go Top 3 next week !

1. “Dream Small” – Josh Wilson [# 1 last week / 10TH week on chart]
2. “Grace Got You” – MercyMe [2 / 18TH]
3. “Do It Again” – Elevation Worship [4 / 14TH]
4. “The Way (New Horizon)” – Pat Barrett [5 / 14TH]
5. “Resurrection Power” – Chris Tomlin [3 / 26TH]

8. “Heaven On Earth” – Stars Go Dim [10 / 3RD]
9. “Living Hope” – Phil Wickham [8 / 5TH]
10. “Wherever I Go” – Dan Bremnes [9 / 5TH]

It’s a fairly inactive chart this week with no new entries and very little movement. Chris Tomlin’s “Resurrection Power” spends its 26TH consecutive week on my chart. That ties the longevity record (during this current era of my chart) with Micah Tyler’s “Different” which also spent 26 weeks on my chart (including 4 weeks at # 1).

Back during previous eras of my chart (1985-1992 and 1995-2010) 26 weeks was remarkable but borderline mediocre. Songs regularly spent 30, 40, 50, and even 60 or more weeks on my chart. Of course back then my chart was a Top 40 and even a Top 50 for a short period of time. Nowadays it’s just a Top 10, so 26 weeks in a row in my Top 10 is quite the accomplishment !
