My Top 10 Hits – Week 425

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 April 06TH 2025 – the 425TH week of this current era that began on Presidents’ Day Weekend of 2017:

ZACH WILLIAMS – This #TravelThursday I’ll post my review of the MercyMe, Zach Williams, and Sam Wesley concert over in Estero Florida. Zach Williams was awesome. He performed 9 songs – including his new radio hit “Jesus Loves”. He stated that it was one of his favorite songs to date, and I agree with him. It is now his 10TH hit on my chart over the past 8 years. It’s his follow-up to “Cornerstone” – his 2023 duet with TobyMac – which was his 3RD # 1 smash.

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.

THE AFTERS – Josh Havens, Matt Fuqua, and Dan Ostebo are The Afters. Josh and Matt founded the band 26 years ago in 1999 after working together at a Starbucks in Mesquite Texas (near Dallas). The Afters are one of just a few acts that appeared on the previous Salvation Era of my chart (2006-2010). Their smash “Never Going Back To OK” spent 26 weeks on my chart at the end of 2007 and the first 5 months of 2008. It was my # 9 hit of the entire year. It was also the most-played song of the year at U.S. Christian Radio. They are still praising and worshiping their Lord + Savior Jesus Christ, as they proclaim that He never gave up on them.

FORREST FRANK – He follows-up his # 2 hit “Good Day” from last August with what is now a # 1 smash (AKA – my favorite song of the week). It’s quite the peculiar song on my chart – part pop, part hip hop, part gospel. It’s got a good beat, and I can dance to it !
