My Top 10 Hits – Week 185

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 30TH 2020:

TW LW WKS SONG TITLE ARTIST / SITE
1 1 5 Miracles Colton Dixon
2 3 16 No Impossible With You I AM THEY
3 7 3 God So Loved We The Kingdom
4 8 2 The Blessing Kari Jobe, Cody Carnes, Elevation Worship
5 2 11 There Was Jesus Zach Williams Ft. Dolly Parton
6 4 25 Alive & Breathing Matt Maher
7 5 20 Keep Me In The Moment Jeremy Camp
8 – 1 Rise Up (Lazarus) Cain
9 9 2 Who Am I NeedToBreathe
10 10 2 Peace Be Still Hope Darst

# 1 This Week In:
2019 – “Nobody (But Jesus)” – Casting Crowns Ft. Matthew West
2018 – “Who You Say I Am” – Hillsong Worship
2017 – “Broken Things” – Matthew West

Colton Dixon remains at # 1 for a 2ND week with my favorite song on the radio. In addition to the lyrics of “Miracles” I love its feel. I love its beat. It almost gets funky at one point during the song where I wish I had bongo drums to play along to the beat.

I AM THEY ease back up a notch to # 2 after slipping to # 3 last week with their former # 1 smash “No Impossible With You”. You know each summer there’s a sleeper smash that I never saw coming. It’s the song that will likely remind me (personally) of this summer season years from now. I think this is it. It’ll be interesting to see where this song lands on my special chart next Tuesday September 08TH when I #CountUp my Top 10 hits of the Summer of 2020 (from Memorial Day Weekend to Labor Day Weekend).

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 Tuesday edition. 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 184

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 23RD 2020:

TW LW WKS SONG TITLE ARTIST / SITE
1 3 4 Miracles Colton Dixon
2 1 10 There Was Jesus Zach Williams Ft. Dolly Parton
3 2 15 No Impossible With You I AM THEY
4 6 24 Alive & Breathing Matt Maher
5 7 19 Keep Me In The Moment Jeremy Camp
6 8 7 Revolutionary Josh Wilson
7 10 2 God So Loved We The Kingdom
8 – 1 The Blessing Kari Jobe, Cody Carnes, Elevation Worship
9 – 1 Who Am I NeedToBreathe
10 – 1 Peace Be Still Hope Darst

# 1 This Week In:
2019 – “Nobody (But Jesus)” – Casting Crowns Ft. Matthew West
2018 – “Who You Say I Am” – Hillsong Worship
2017 – “Broken Things” – Matthew West

This week’s chart is quite the opposite of last week’s inactive chart. There are 3 new entries (most since 14 weeks ago), no non-movers, and a new # 1 smash.

Colton Dixon sings my new favorite song on the radio. I love the opening lyrics to “Miracles”. They remind me of my life 14 years ago:

♫ Ninety miles on the highway
Every day moving so fast
Taking all the wrong ways out
Never saw You coming
Stopping me in my tracks
Keeping me from the long way down ♫

YEP – That’s what Christ did for me. I never saw Him coming. He stopped me in my tracks. He performed a life-changing miracle on that day, and He hasn’t stopped since. They just happen like that.

Kari Jobe and Cody Carnes (married almost 6 years) team-up with Elevation Worship for “The Blessing” – a song that’s increasingly growing on me every time I hear it on the radio.

NeedToBreathe out of northwestern South Carolina are back with their 5TH hit on my chart – and their first in 18 months. They’ve been together for about 20 years, and they were actively releasing music to Christian radio during my “Salvation Era” (2006-2010), but none of it charted for me. When this chart was resurrected in February of 2017 they were one of the first bands that I got to know and enjoy. Their “Testify” debuted on my Week 3 chart of this current era.

And finally Hope Darst enters my chart for the first time with her debut hit “Peace Be Still”. It’s a song that I’ve been singing along to for several months now at home and in my car. It’s the title-track of Hope’s new album that was released this past Friday ! 

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 – Week 183

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 16TH 2020:

TW LW WKS SONG TITLE ARTIST / SITE

It’s a bit of an inactive chart this week with 6 non-movers. American Idol 2012 Finalist Colton Dixon takes the biggest leap up my chart with his now Top 3 smash all about God’s “Miracles”. The We The Kingdom Family sing my sole new entry this week with their latest “God So Loved”. It’s their follow-up to their debut # 1 smash “Holy Water”.

Check out the official lyric video for it, and sing along.

For God loved the world so much that He gave His one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life. God sent His Son into the world not to judge the world, but to save the world through Him. (John 3:16-17)

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 – Week 182

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:

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

8 8 5 Revolutionary Josh Wilson

# 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.
