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 – this week’s chart:

# 1 This Week In:
2020 – “The God Who Stays” – Matthew West
2019 – “Maybe It’s OK” – We Are Messengers
2018 – “Gracefully Broken” – Matt Redman Ft. Tasha C. Leonard
2017 – “Love Broke Thru” – Toby Mac

It is the 4TH anniversary of the unexpected start of the 3RD era of my weekly hit music chart. At the start of 2010 the longest consecutive era of my chart came to a slow and bitter end after a little over 14 years. Fast forward to almost exactly 7 years later, and I attended my 2ND TobyMac concert up in Tallahassee Florida. If you’ve ever been to a TobyMac concert then you know that while Toby is the headliner – there are 4 or 5 other veteran and emerging artists on the bill that put on great sets. A typical TobyMac concert is about a 4-hour experience, and it’s hard to wind down and go to sleep after all of that energy in the arena. That 4-hour experience in 2017 was one part of the resurrection of my chart that weekend. The other part is that I discovered K-LOVE – the national Christian hit music radio station that weekend. I’ve been listening nonstop ever since.

TobyMac’s “Love Broke Thru” was my # 1 smash on that very first chart back after 7 years. Exactly 2 years later We Are Messengers were at # 1 with their smash “Maybe It’s OK”. That occurred at my 3RD TobyMac show.

Last night I was at my 4TH TobyMac show at the BB&T Center in Sunrise Florida, and We Are Messengers were 1 of the veteran artists on the bill. I’ll write all about it on a future Thursday post here on my blog.

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.

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.

2018 – “Gracefully Broken” – Matt Redman Ft. Tasha C. Leonard

It looks like Matthew West has been denied the top spot for just the 2ND time in his past 5 hits. His “Truth Be Told” slips a notch this week to # 3 after 5 weeks in a row at # 2. His “All In” was denied the top spot back in June 2018 by Elevation Worship’s “Do It Again” – which turned out to be the # 1 smash of the entire year of 2018. This year it’s Cade Thompson’s “Every Step Of The Way” – which spends its 10TH week in a row as my # 1 smash. It looks like it could be my # 1 smash of the entire year of 2021 !

Here’s the brand new official music video for “Every Step Of The Way”. You can view it below or via this YouTube link.

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 – this week’s chart:

# 1 This Week In:
2020 – “Rescue Story” – Zach Williams 
2019 – “Nobody Loves Me Like You” – Chris Tomlin
2018 – “Gracefully Broken” – Matt Redman Ft. Tasha C. Leonard

January ended the way it began. And it began the way December ended. And December ended the way it began.

YEP – Cade Thompson is still at # 1 – for the 9TH week in a row – with one of my favorite songs in a long time. It’s a simple and catchy radio-friendly pop song, but it’s got powerful lyrics sung by a powerful voice that praises and worships God. He’s the God that’s working everything for the best of us. He’s the God that’s fighting and writing His love in our story – “Every Step Of The Way”.

Debut artist Jordan St. Cyr climbs up a couple of notches with his track “Fires”. It’s a song all about those fires along this journey. It’s not a perfect straight line believing and following and trusting Christ. It’s a long and winding road with sharp curves and deep pits of despair along the way. If we should so happen to drift off the journey our God will reach for us to pull us out of the mud and the mire. He’ll walk us through fires. He’ll pull us from flames. We must not be afraid.

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.

2018 – “Gracefully Broken” – Matt Redman Ft. Tasha C. Leonard

Zach Williams is back with his 6TH hit on my chart with a radio-friendly track that just feels good. It’s got that trademark Zach Williams sound to it – with those powerful lyrics of salvation and moving closer to his Lord & Savior Jesus Christ: 

♫ Oh – I have days I lose the fight
Try my best, but just don’t get it right
Where I talk a talk that I don’t walk
And miss the moments right before my eyes

Somebody with a hurt that I could have helped
Somebody with a hand that I could have held
When I just can’t see past myself
Oh Lord – help me be

A little more like mercy – a little more like grace
A little more like kindness, goodness, love, and faith
A little more like patience – a little more like peace
A little more like Jesus – a little less like me ♫

“Less Like Me” is Zach’s 3RD hit single from his late-2019 album “Rescue Story”. (The title-track was my # 1 smash exactly a year ago.)

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.
