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:

2018 – “Who You Say I Am” – Hillsong Worship
2017 – “Hard Love” – NeedToBreathe

BIG CLIMBER – Coby James makes a big move up my chart this week from # 8 to # 5, as his smooth-sounding radio-friendly pop track continues to gain momentum with increased airplay. It really sounds like nothing else at Christian music radio. Take a listen to it for yourself, as you watch the official music video that’s “Brand New”:

CHART BUSTING just outside of my Top 10 this week is the latest track from Tasha Layton. It’s titled “Look What You’ve Done”. She was on my chart almost a year ago with her debut hit “Into The Sea (It’s Gonna Be OK)” – which peaked at # 6. “Look What You’ve Done” is about believing the lies of the world, and letting them take a hold of your life so that they were in control of your life. And then the Lord stepped in to dig all the roots up and heal all the wounds up. #Hallelujah

This blog is # 34 worldwide on the Top 80 Christian Music Blogs and Websites in 2021 chart. Thank You for including us Feedspot !

This concludes another weekend of blog posts. I’ll do it again this upcoming weekend – with 4 new entries on Thursday, Friday, Sunday, and Monday. 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 share God’s Good News and win souls for Christ through His music. I’m also on Twitter and Flickr.

Be blessed my friends !  May the 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.

My Top 10 Hits – Week 235

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 – “Raise A Hallelujah” – Bethel Music
2018 – “Dream Small” – Josh Wilson
2017 – “Wonder” – Hillsong United

NEW # 1 – Ryan Stevenson’s 6TH of 7 hits since 2017 is now his 2ND # 1 smash on my chart, as “When We Fall Apart” completes its slow 3-month climb from # 5 to # 1. He originally released this single solo in October 2019 on the 10TH anniversary of the passing of his mom from bone cancer. The words of the song are the last words his mom spoke to him. Over a year later in March 2021 the single was redone and reissued – this time with country music legend Vince Gill and mainstream and Christian pop music star Amy Grant (Vince’s wife of the past 21 years). Here’s the official music video:

TOMLIN @ # 7 – Chris Tomlin is back with his 7TH hit since 2017, and he brings back Thomas Rhett with him. He also introduces Florida Georgia Line to my chart for the first time ever. Tyler Hubbard and Brian Kelley are #FGL, and they’ve enjoyed a long string of hits at country music radio over the past 10 years. Some of them have even crossed-over onto the mainstream pop charts. This is their first appearance at Christian music radio.

My Top 10 Hits – Week 234

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:

COUNTUP MINISTRIES FOR THE WEEK ENDING SUNDAY AUGUST 08TH 2021 WEEK 234
TW LW WKS SONG TITLE ARTIST / SITE
1 1 18 Gospel Song
[2ND week @ # 1]
Rhett Walker
2 4 11 When We Fall Apart Ryan Stevenson Ft. Vince Gill & Amy Grant
3 3 14 Yes He Can Cain
4 10 2 House Of The Lord Phil Wickham
5 5 4 Into The Wild Josh Baldwin
6 6 4 What If Matthew West

8 7 10 Until Grace Tauren Wells Ft. Gary LeVox of Rascal Flatts
9 8 5 My Jesus Anne Wilson
10 9 2 Brand New Coby James

# 1 This Week In:
2020 – “There Was Jesus” – Zach Williams Ft. Dolly Parton
2019 – “Raise A Hallelujah” – Bethel Music
2018 – “Dream Small” – Josh Wilson
2017 – “Wonder” – Hillsong United

HUGE CLIMBER – With such a tight Top 10 chart very rarely do songs move up (or down) more than 2 or 3 notches in a single week, but Phil Wickham’s “House Of The Lord” does more than that – surging 6 notches from # 10 to # 4. It really feels like a future # 1 smash on my chart (and the national charts as well). It’s currently Top 15 nationwide where it’s rapidly increasing plays on the radio.

CHART BUSTING just outside of my Top 10 this week is the brand new radio single from one of my favorite bands – We Are Messengers. It’s poised to enter my chart as their 7TH hit since 2017. The song reminds us that in every high – in every low – on mountain tops – down broken roads – He is still our rock. Our hope remains. We can rest in the arms of Jesus. “Come What May”.

Here’s the official music video for “Come What May” – featuring Darren Mulligan praising and worshiping our Lord our Shepherd on scenic Glencolumbkille Beach on the northwest coast of Ireland:

My Top 10 Hits – Week 233

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:

COUNTUP MINISTRIES FOR THE WEEK ENDING SUNDAY AUGUST 01ST 2021 WEEK 233
TW LW WKS SONG TITLE ARTIST / SITE
1 3 17 Gospel Song
[1ST week @ # 1]
Rhett Walker
2 1 10 Be Alright Evan Craft X Danny Gokey X Redimi2
3 2 13 Yes He Can Cain
4 5 10 When We Fall Apart Ryan Stevenson Ft. Vince Gill & Amy Grant
5 6 3 Into The Wild Josh Baldwin
6 7 3 What If Matthew West
7 4 9 Until Grace Tauren Wells Ft. Gary LeVox of Rascal Flatts
8 9 4 My Jesus Anne Wilson
9 1 Brand New Coby James
10 1 House Of The Lord Phil Wickham

# 1 This Week In:
2020 – “No Impossible With You” – I AM THEY
2019 – “Raise A Hallelujah” – Bethel Music
2018 – “Dream Small” – Josh Wilson
2017 – “Wonder” – Hillsong United

NEW # 1 SMASH – Rhett Walker’s 2ND hit on my chart is his 1ST # 1 smash, as “Gospel Song” reaches the pinnacle in its 17TH week. It’s remarkable in that it kind of just lingered around at # 6 or below from April to July. Last week it suddenly made a big move to # 3, and this week it claims the top spot. It’s getting what I call “The 2:20 Treatment” on K-LOVE. That means it gets played (like clockwork) every 2 hours and 20 minutes day and night. That’s 10 times per day, or 70 times per week. Ain’t nothin’ like a “Gospel Song”. Makes me wanna sing it all day long !

NEW AT # 10 – Phil Wickham is back with his 5TH hit on my chart, and he’s praising and worshiping his Lord & Savior Jesus Christ – the God who was – the God who is – the God who evermore will be. He’s the God who heals – the God who saves – the God who always makes a way.

Here’s the official music video for “House Of The Lord”:

CHART BUSTING just outside of my Top 10 this week are 2 emerging hits from Chris Tomlin and Mike Donehey. Chris Tomlin is with his country music brothers Thomas Rhett and Florida Georgia Line in a vibrant track titled “Thank You Lord”. Mike Donehey – formerly of Tenth Avenue North – is solo with his post-band debut “All Together”. Look for both of these uplifting tracks to debut on a future chart.
