My Top 10 Hits – Week 178

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 July 12TH 2020:

TW LW WKS SONG TITLE ARTIST / SITE
1 1 13 Keep Me In The Moment Jeremy Camp
2 3 9 No Impossible With You I AM THEY
3 2 9 Amadeo (Still My God) Ryan Stevenson
4 7 9 The Father’s House Cory Asbury
5 8 5 You’ve Always Been Unspoken
6 5 18 Alive & Breathing Matt Maher
7 4 25 I Will Fear No More The Afters
8 6 6 I’m Leaning On You Crowder Ft. Riley Clemmons
9 9 4 There Was Jesus Zach Williams Ft. Dolly Parton
10 1 Revolutionary Josh Wilson

# 1 This Week In:
2019 – “Prize Worth Fighting For” – Jamie Kimmett
2018 – “Grace Got You” – MercyMe
2017 – “Wonder” – Hillsong UNITED

Good movements up and down on my chart this week with just 2 non-movers – including Jeremy Camp – still at # 1 for a 3RD week with “Keep Me In The Moment”. Nationally it’s # 2 with a bullet at big-market Christian radio, and it’s # 1 for a 5TH week in a row at small-market Christian radio.

I AM THEY out of Carson City Nevada have their 2ND # 2 hit with “No Impossible With You”. It’s already run its course nationally, but it’s an active hit that’s currently in heavy rotation on K-LOVE. The same was true for their previous # 2 hit – “My Feet Are On The Rock”. It was released to radio in 2018, but it didn’t become a K-LOVE and #CountUp hit until February, March, and April of 2019.

Finally there’s Cory Asbury. I tweeted on Sunday morning that “I’m resting my voice and hydrating my throat. In addition to preaching today – I’m also singing “The Father’s House” by @CoryAsbury. Cory then replied “Hahaha. Gear up, bro.” I did just that, and I sang the song from start to finish solo and a cappella.

Cory’s got a new single out now called “Sparrows”. Check it out:

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 177

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 July 05TH 2020:

TW LW WKS SONG TITLE ARTIST / SITE
1 1 12 Keep Me In The Moment Jeremy Camp
2 2 8 Amadeo (Still My God) Ryan Stevenson
3 5 8 No Impossible With You I AM THEY

# 1 This Week In:
2019 – “Church (Take Me Back)” – Cochren & Co.
2018 – “Do It Again” – Elevation Worship
2017 – “The Comeback” – Danny Gokey

WELCOME BACK to my weekly #CountUp of my favorite hits on Christian radio. Last week’s chart was unpublished, and on it Jeremy Camp secured his 3RD # 1 smash in less than 3 years (out of 4 hits). His “Keep Me In The Moment” had me singing along and swaying back-and-forth to the rhythm on-the-road during my recent 9-day / 2-state / 1,690-mile road-trip.

I listened to a lot of great radio while on vacation. My home station K-LOVE dominated the South Florida airwaves – as well as all throughout North Florida and South Alabama. In-between The JOY-FM and Z-88.3 kept me moving to the music in Central Florida.

There’s a lot of great new positive music out there. I could have easily done a Top 15 chart this week with 5 new entries, but I’m hangin’ tough with the Top 10 format.

This concludes a short 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 175

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 June 21ST 2020:

# 1 This Week In:
2019 – “Church (Take Me Back)” – Cochren & Co.
2018 – “Do It Again” – Elevation Worship
2017 – “Home” – Chris Tomlin

It’s an unusually quiet chart week this week. Admittingly I didn’t listen to much of K-LOVE this past week since they were in fundraising mode. I started listening to them as my primary radio station on the Tuesday after Presidents’ Day in February of 2017. Before that day I didn’t even know they existed. It immediately inspired the resurrection of this weekly hit music chart after a 7-year hiatus. A couple of months later before the start of their Spring pledge drive that year I began financially supporting them every month. I’ve been doing so ever since then.

I have nothing against the seasonal pledge drive, but I just want to hear good continuous music on the radio. This past week I listened to a lot of SiriusXM – both The Message and ’70s On 7.

This upcoming next couple of weeks I’ll listen to a lot of K-LOVE on the road – as well as other great radio stations such as WAY-FM and The JOY-FM. Next weekend’s chart will be unpublished. I’ll present my next Top 10 chart in 2 weeks on Monday July 06TH 2020.

This concludes another season here at #CountUp after 15½ weekends and 63 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 3+ 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 July 05TH 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 sun !

# 1 This Week In:
2019 – “Church (Take Me Back)” – Cochren & Co.
2018 – “Do It Again” – Elevation Worship
2017 – “Home” – Chris Tomlin

The anthem of the times that we’re currently living in spends a 5TH week atop my chart:

♫ You’re my courage when I worry in the dead of night
You’re my strength ’cause I’m not strong enough to win this fight
You are greater than the battle raging in my mind
I will trust You Lord
I will fear no more ♫

Unspoken is back with their 4TH chart hit since 2017. “You’ve Always Been” is their 3RD hit in a row (nationally) from their current album “Reason”. The title-track was their biggest hit to date at Christian radio nationwide. It was a # 1 smash.

Here’s the official music video for “You’ve Always Been”:

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.
