My Top 10 Hits – Week 190

Every Monday I post my all-new Top 10 Christian hit music chart based on personal preference and influenced by radio airplay. It’s the continuation of a weekly hobby that goes back 40+ years. Here it is – for the week ending Sunday October 04TH 2020:

TW LW WKS SONG TITLE ARTIST / SITE
1 1 8 God So Loved We The Kingdom
2 3 6 Rise Up (Lazarus) Cain
3 4 5 No Hold On Me Matty Mullins
4 2 7 The Blessing Kari Jobe, Cody Carnes, Elevation Worship
5 5 5 This Is What We Live For Big Daddy Weave
6 8 5 Into The Sea (It’s Gonna Be OK) Tasha Layton
7 9 7 Peace Be Still Hope Darst
8 10 7 Who Am I NeedToBreathe
9 1 Jericho Andrew Ripp
10 1 Start Right Here Casting Crowns

# 1 This Week In:
2019 – “Nobody (But Jesus)” – Casting Crowns Ft. Matthew West
2018 – “Only Jesus” – Casting Crowns
2017 – “The Gospel” – Ryan Stevenson

We The Kingdom are still at # 1 on my chart with my favorite song on the radio. It’s their 4TH week at the top for “God So Loved” – 1 week more than “Holy Water” spent at # 1 to kickoff 2020.

There’s not too much movement up and down on my chart this week, and there was no movement at all during the previous week which was unpublished. I was in vacation mode, and then K-LOVE went into fundraising mode. The fundraising resumes today for another few more days, so I may listen to a bit more The Message on SiriusXM. They tend to have a wider playlist for current hits, so I’m sure I’ll hear some great new music on there that I’ve never heard before.

This concludes a short weekend of blog posts. I’ll do it again this upcoming weekend – a full slate 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 188

Every Monday I post my all-new Top 10 Christian hit music chart based on personal preference and influenced by radio airplay. It’s the continuation of a weekly hobby that goes back 40+ years. Here it is – for the week ending Sunday September 20TH 2020:

TW LW WKS SONG TITLE ARTIST / SITE
1 1 6 God So Loved We The Kingdom
2 2 5 The Blessing Kari Jobe, Cody Carnes, Elevation Worship
3 4 4 Rise Up (Lazarus) Cain
4 5 3 No Hold On Me Matty Mullins

# 1 This Week In:
2019 – “Nobody (But Jesus)” – Casting Crowns Ft. Matthew West
2018 – “Only Jesus” – Casting Crowns
2017 – “Broken Things” – Matthew West

No new entries this week, as We The Kingdom remain perched atop my chart with their awesome song proclaiming that “God So Loved”.

Here’s the bridge of the song. It actually echoes my Pastor’s powerful sermon yesterday morning on “The Power Of Praise & Worship”:

♫ Praise God !  Praise God !
From whom all blessings flow
Praise Him !  Praise Him !
For the wonders of His love
Praise God !  Praise God !
From whom all blessings flow
Praise Him !  Praise Him !
For the wonders of His love
His amazing love ♫

Next weekend’s chart will be unpublished. I’ll present my next Top 10 chart in 2 weeks on Monday October 05TH 2020.

This concludes another season here at #CountUp after 11½ weekends and 47 blog posts in a row every Thursday, Friday, Sunday, and Monday. I hope that you enjoyed reading along and tracking with me over these past 2½ months. I’ve tried to be enlightening, entertaining, and informing – all at the same time. Now it’s time to get refreshed and rejuvenated.

I’ll be back for an all-new season of blogging in a couple of weeks – starting with “Sunday Scripture” on Sunday October 04TH 2020. I hope that you’ll join me then. In the meantime feel free to look back at older blog posts that you may have missed, or go outside and get some fresh air !

Well for the first time during this current chart era neither Casting Crowns nor Matthew West are at # 1 on my chart during this middle week of September. We The Kingdom ascend to my top spot to score their 2ND # 1 smash in a row with “God So Loved”. Their debut smash “Holy Water” was my first # 1 smash of 2020.

So this is Week 187 of this current chart era. Week 200’s chart will be posted on Monday December 14TH 2020. The next day – on a special Tuesday blog post – I’ll present a special cumulative chart – My Top 20 Hits Of 200 Weeks. I see a few songs up above that will be on that chart !

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.

My Top 10 Hits – Summer Of 2020

16 weekly hit music charts and 26 positive and encouraging hits (2 more than last Summer) have created this cumulative hit music chart of my Top 10 hits of the Summer Of 2020 based on personal preference and influenced by radio airplay. Here it is – from U.S. Memorial Day Weekend (last Sunday of May) to U.S. Labor Day Weekend (first Sunday of September):

RK PK WKS SONG TITLE ARTIST / SITE
1 1 16 No Impossible With You I AM THEY
2 1 15 Keep Me In The Moment Jeremy Camp
3 2 15 Alive & Breathing Matt Maher
4 1 9 I Will Fear No More The Afters
5 2 13 The Father’s House Cory Asbury
6 2 10 Amadeo (Still My God) Ryan Stevenson
7 1 11 There Was Jesus Zach Williams Ft. Dolly Parton
8 3 10 You’ve Always Been Unspoken
9 1 6 Miracles Colton Dixon
10 2 4 God So Loved We The Kingdom

# 1 Summer Of:
2019 – “Raise A Hallelujah” – Bethel Music
2018 – “Do It Again” – Elevation Worship
2017 – “Wonder” – Hillsong UNITED

I mentioned it 8 days ago here on my blog. A sleeper smash has dominated my chart this summer. I never saw it coming. It’s a song that probably shouldn’t have charted all along. It’s from a 10-song album – “Trial & Triumph” – that was released over 2½ years ago in March of 2018. It’s been on YouTube since before then. It was released as a single in 2019, and it peaked at Christian radio nationwide this past May. It debuted on my chart the week before this summer began, as airplay was ramping-up on K-LOVE. It’s the only song that spent all 16 weeks of summer (from start to finish) on my chart. Congratulations to I AM THEY with their sleeper smash of the summer – “No Impossible With You”.

There were really no other surprises for my summertime chart. Every # 1 smash made it. Every song that spent at least 1 week at # 2 made it. No artist repeated from last summer. It was a solid summer of good music for the Lord based on Good News from the Lord.

Much like all of 2020 (since March) – I’ll remember this unique summer for years to come. It’s the summer that I spent more time at home than anywhere else, and I was doing something strange at home that I had never done before (this year) – work from home. And while I was working from home I was listening to continuous positive and encouraging hits on K-LOVE. I think I’ve listened to more radio this summer than in any previous summer in modern times.

If you’re not familiar with one or any of these songs then use Google, Bing, or YouTube to check them out. Enjoy the music, but especially listen to the words. The words of these songs represent God’s Word. Any one of these songs can change your life forever. God used music to rescue and save me from the darkness during the Summer Of 2006.

He has given me a new song to sing – a hymn of praise to our God. Many will see what He has done, and be amazed. They will put their trust in the LORD. (Psalm 40:3 NLT)

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.
