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 August 09TH 2020:

TW	LW	WKS	SONG TITLE	ARTIST / SITE
1	4	8	There Was Jesus	Zach Williams Ft. Dolly Parton
2	1	13	No Impossible With You	I AM THEY
3	3	9	You’ve Always Been	Unspoken
4	2	13	The Father’s House	Cory Asbury
5	7	2	Miracles	Colton Dixon
6	6	22	Alive & Breathing	Matt Maher
7	5	17	Keep Me In The Moment	Jeremy Camp
8	8	5	Revolutionary	Josh Wilson
9	9	4	Love God Love People	Danny Gokey
10	10	3	Who You Are To Me	Chris Tomlin Ft. Lady A

# 1 This Week In:
2019 – “Raise A Hallelujah” – Bethel Music
2018 – “Dream Small” – Josh Wilson
2017 – “Wonder” – Hillsong UNITED

It took 182 weeks to reach my 50TH # 1 smash during this current era of my chart, and it’s from one of my favorite singers – Mr. Zach Williams – with his 2ND chart-topper in a row this year. It’s also # 1 at small-market Christian radio, and # 3 at big-market Christian radio. The legendary Dolly Parton sounds great duetting with Zach. At age 74 she’s been singing professionally and releasing singles since she was a young teen in the late-1950s !

I had the audacity to sing that song (from start to finish – both parts of it) this past Sunday morning as I led my church family in Praise & Worship. I’m not a professional singer – far from it – but when you sing to God He listens to your heart and soul – not your voice. When we praise and worship our Lord & Savior we sing for Him and Him alone. He is our audience of One. I encouraged my brothers and sisters of my church family to sing for Him out there – meaning outside of the church building. Sing for Him in everything we do and everywhere we go.

I also sang Matt Maher’s “Alive & Breathing” for Praise & Worship. I love that song. Even after 5 months of hearing it on the radio multiple times per day I still love to sing along to it, and if I’m standing up then I’m dancing along to it. I sing and dance for Christ !

♫ Don’t stop dancing and dreaming
There’s still Good News worth repeating
So lift your head and keep singing
Praise the Lord ! ♫

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 181

# 1 This Week In:
2019 – “Raise A Hallelujah” – Bethel Music
2018 – “Dream Small” – Josh Wilson
2017 – “Wonder” – Hillsong UNITED

This week marks a milestone for my weekly chart. With this 181ST chart week it surpasses the complete 180-week run of the “Salvation Era” of my chart that began on August 27TH 2006 and ended on January 31ST 2010 (3 years and 5 months).

The “Salvation Era” began on the Sunday after my Lord + Savior Jesus Christ rescued and saved me almost 14 years ago. He used music to lift me out of the pit of despair – out of the mud and the mire. He gave me a new song to sing – a hymn of praise to our God. This chart – already in its 21ST year of existence at the time – immediately flipped from Mainstream Top 40 – to Christian Top 40. It lasted 180 weeks before waning. (This chart went on a 7-year hiatus after that.)

This current “Resurrection Era” (or “K-LOVE Era”) continues on into the future. I enjoy sharing the music each week that I’m currently singing along to and dancing to in praise and worship to my God. I sing and dance for Him.

Zach Williams scores his 5TH consecutive Top 5 smash over the past 3 years with his latest “There Was Jesus” – a duet with Dolly Parton that the two recorded together in the studio last Summer. It looks like it’s headed to # 1 nationally at U.S. Christian radio. It’s already # 1 at small-market stations.

Colton Dixon returns to my chart for the first time in nearly 3½ years, and it’s already his highest-charting hit ever, as “Miracles” makes its debut at # 7. Here’s the official music video of this catchy track:

# 1 This Week In:

2018 – “Dream Small” – Josh Wilson
2017 – “Wonder” – Hillsong UNITED

My # 3 artist of the past 180 weeks – Chris Tomlin – scores his 5TH hit with his latest – “Who You Are To Me” – a Nashville collaboration with country group Lady A. It’s a song that’s breaking-out on Christian radio from coast-to-coast, and it has an excellent opportunity to crossover onto country radio as well. I’ll be monitoring that. I love when a song plays at multiple formats on the radio.

♫ You’re amazing – faithful – love’s open door
When I’m empty You fill me with hunger for more
Of Your mercy – Your goodness
Lord – You’re the air that I breathe
That’s who You are to me
Who You are to me ♫

The Afters fall off my chart after 26 weeks with their # 1 smash (for 6 weeks) – “I Will Fear No More”. It’s currently my # 5 hit overall out of 168 over the past 180 weeks.

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.

2019 – “Prize Worth Fighting For” – Jamie Kimmett
2018 – “Grace Got You” – MercyMe
2017 – “Wonder” – Hillsong UNITED

It’s another active chart week, as I AM THEY out of Carson City Nevada score their first # 1 smash on my chart. It’s my 49TH # 1 smash overall since this chart was resurrected on Presidents’ Day Weekend of 2017.

I AM THEY get their name from Scripture in The Gospel According To John. In Jesus’ final prayer for His disciples here in the world before His suffering and death – He looked up to Heaven, and He prayed. He said that:

My prayer is not for the world, but for those You have given Me – because they belong to You. All who are Mine belong to You, and You have given them to Me, so they bring Me glory. Now I am departing from the world. They are staying in this world, but I am coming to You. Holy Father – You have given Me Your name. Now protect them by the power of Your name so that they will be united just as We are. (John 17:9-11 NLT)

I am they. We are they. We belong to our Holy Father. We belong to His Holy Son. We belong to the Holy Spirit. Let’s be united in our God – Creator, Christ, and Spirit as One !

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.
