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

8 9 4 My Jesus Anne Wilson

# 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.

This blog is # 74 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 232

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 JULY 25TH 2021 WEEK 232

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

SLOW CLIMBER AT # 3 – Rhett Walker continues his amazing climb up my chart to enter the Top 3 this week in his 16TH week. “Gospel Song” is also a slow climber nationally at U.S. Christian radio. It just reached the Top 5 in its 19TH week at big market stations, and in its 18TH week at small market stations. It’s his biggest hit ever, and it’s his follow-up to his previous biggest hit ever – “Believer” – which hit # 4 on my chart in December 2019.

Here’s the official music video for “Gospel Song”:

CHART BUSTING just outside of my Top 10 this week is a cool-sounding tune from a 19-year-old by the name of Coby James. When I first heard “Brand New” on K-LOVE – I had to look it up to see who was singing the gem that brought back memories of mid-1980s British smooth pop that I danced to when I was 19-years-old. It’s a “Brand New” song, but it sounds RETRO. It reminds us that each morning is the start of a “Brand New” day to live for Christ. It’s like rising-up from the water. It’s living in the light You’ve called me into. #Hallelujah

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:

STILL AT # 1 – Evan Craft remains at the top of my chart this week, as “Be Alright” continues to gain momentum at U.S. Christian Radio. This past week it was the most added song, and it registered the most increased plays at big market stations. It’s approaching the Top 10 from coast to coast.

SURPRISE AT # 7 – This was unexpected. Bethel Music Pastor, Singer, & Songwriter Josh Baldwin is back with his 4TH hit on my chart – following-up “Stand In Your Love” (2018), “Let The Redeemed” (2020), and “Evidence” (2020). “Into The Wild” is his new song, and it’s from his “Evidence” album. “Into The Wild” is about letting go and leaving your past behind, following Christ’s heart, trusting Him for who He is, and dreaming like a child again – “Into The Wild”.

Check out the official music video for “Into The Wild”:

It may be Monday, but my weekend of blogging is not yet complete. I’ve got one more post for you tomorrow – Tuesday, and it will be posted late in the day – even early Wednesday for those of you reading in Europe, Africa, Asia, and Oceania. If you’re a longtime fan of my blog then tomorrow night’s blog will be extra special, as it will be a trip down memory lane. I hope that you’ll check back in again to read it.

2019 – “Prize Worth Fighting For” – Jamie Kimmett
2018 – “Do It Again” – Elevation Worship
2017 – “The Comeback” – Danny Gokey

SURPRISE at # 1, as debut artist Evan Craft rises to the top of my chart, and he returns Danny Gokey to the top spot for the first time since his debut hit “The Comeback” (which was # 1 on my chart exactly 4 years ago). “Be Alright” is my 486TH # 1 smash overall since 1985, 62ND # 1 smash of this current era since 2017, and 7TH # 1 smash of 2021. Thank You Evan for this catchy track that I can’t get out of my mind – because – ♫ He’s got the whole world in His hands – He’s got the whole world in His hands – He’s got the whole wide world in His hands. ♫

CHART BUSTING just outside of my Top 10 this week is the next big hit from my # 1 artist overall since 2017 – Matthew West. His first 5 hits have a spent a combined 109 weeks on my chart – more than any other artist. “What If” will be his 6TH big hit. It should still be on my chart 15 weeks from now when I’m singing it – with him – in front of him – LIVE in concert.

This blog is # 45 worldwide on the Top 60 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 5 new entries on Thursday, Friday, Sunday, Monday, and a special presentation on Tuesday July 20TH. I don’t blog on Saturdays. That’s my day of rest.
