My Top 10 Hits – Summer Of 2021

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 40+ years. But this week it’s a special chart of my Top 10 hits of this past Summer. Here’s this Summer’s chart:

# 1 Summer Of:
2020 – “No Impossible With You” – I AM THEY
2019 – “Raise A Hallelujah” – Bethel Music
2018 – “Do It Again” – Elevation Worship
2017 – “Wonder” – Hillsong UNITED

WHAT A SUMMER ! – 15 weekly hit music charts and 22 positive and encouraging hits (4 less than last Summer) have created this cumulative hit music chart of my Top 10 hits of the Summer Of 2021 based on personal preference and influenced by radio airplay. This past Summer season is defined as U.S. Memorial Day Weekend (last Sunday of May) to U.S. Labor Day Weekend (first Sunday of September). This chart is an End-Of-Summer tradition for me.

CAIN IN THE SUMMERTIME – Cain reined this past Summer, as “Yes He Can” was my # 1 smash of the season by a wide margin. It was 1 of 3 hits that spent all 15 weeks of the Summer on my chart. That’s 3 weeks at # 1, 5 weeks at # 2, 3 weeks at # 3, and 4 weeks at # 4. “Yes He Can” is Cain’s follow-up to “Rise Up (Lazarus)” which was my # 4 hit of all of 2020. It actually debuted on my chart on the 2ND-to-last-week of the Summer Of 2020.

RYAN REPEATS – Ryan Stevenson repeats on my End-Of-Summer chart. “When We Fall Apart” is his biggest and longest-running hit thus far. He was # 6 last Summer with his hit “Amadeo (Still My God)”. Ryan also had a Summer Of 2018 hit (# 10) with “No Matter What”.

BACK TO NORMAL – My regular hit music chart returns next Monday September 27TH 2021.

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 40+ years. Here’s this week’s chart:

2019 – “Nobody (But Jesus)” – Casting Crowns Ft. Matthew West
2018 – “Who You Say I Am” – Hillsong Worship
2017 – “Broken Things” – Matthew West

NEWSBOYS IN – They were chart busting last week, and now they’re in. “Magnetic” is their 3RD hit on my chart – following-up “The Cross Has The Final Word” (# 6 in 2017) and “Greatness Of Our God” (# 1 in 2019). Newsboys have been around for as long as this chart has existed – 36 years. But I never really knew much about them or their music until this current era began in February of 2017. I’ve seen them headline in concert 3 times (2017, 2018, 2019). Their concert experience is at another level. Here’s the official music video for “Magnetic”:

CHART BUSTING just outside of my Top 10 this week is the new one from Crowder. “In The House” is his follow-up to his # 1 smash “God God Almighty”. Crowder is my # 7 artist of the past 4½ years, and this would be his 7TH hit on my chart.

Next Monday I’ll present my Top 10 hits of the Summer Of 2021 – from Memorial Day Weekend to Labor Day Weekend here in the U.S.A.

TOMLIN & FRIENDS @ 2 – My # 3 artist over the past 4½ years scores his 6TH Top 3 hit on my chart (out of 7). It got off to a slow start last month, but it’s really grown on me over the past week. It’s certainly not your typical Chris Tomlin song. It’s not even your typical Chris Tomlin song with country musician friends. This one is pure country; yet it’s all about our Lord. #ThankYouLord

CHART BUSTING just outside of my Top 10 this week is the latest track from Newsboys. Their “Magnetic” is the lead-off single off their next album – “Stand” – which will be released on Friday October 01ST. “Magnetic” would be Newsboys’ 3RD hit on my chart.

This week’s chart is the 15TH and final chart of the Summer Of 2021 – from Memorial Day Weekend to Labor Day Weekend here in the U.S.A. 22 songs were on my chart over these past 15 weeks, and I’ll #CountUp the Top 10 hits of the summer on a special chart – 2 weeks from today on Monday September 20TH 2021.

NEW # 1 – Josh Baldwin’s 4TH hit becomes his 1ST # 1 smash on my chart, as the catchy “Into The Wild” ascends to # 1 in its 7TH week. He previously charted with “Stand In Your Love” (# 5 in 2018), “Let The Redeemed” (# 10 in 2020), and “Evidence” (# 8 in 2020). When I first heard this song during the first-half of July I instantly liked it, and I began singing along to it after just a few listens.

BACK @ # 9 – Ryan Stevenson is back with his 7TH hit that re-enters my chart after falling-off 4 weeks ago. He’s a featured artist with a prominent role on Apollo LTD’s hit “Sunday Morning Feeling”. Here’s the official lyric video that should get you up and dancing:
