My Top 10 Hits – Week 131

Post author By Chris M. Day
Post date August 19, 2019

Every Monday I post my all-new Top 10 Christian hit music chart based on personal preference and influenced by radio airplay. Here it is – for the week ending Sunday August 18TH 2019:

“Raise A Hallelujah” – Bethel Music [# 1 last week / 11TH week on chart]
“Symphony” – Switch [3 / 11TH]
“Nobody (But Jesus)” – Casting Crowns Ft. Matthew West [6 / 3RD]
“Fear No More” – Building 429 [9 / 3RD]
“I’m Gonna Let It Go” – Jason Gray [10 / 2ND]
“Till I Found You” – Phil Wickham [2 / 11TH]
“(Love Is The) Reason” – Unspoken [7 / 5TH]
“Dead Man Walking” – Jeremy Camp [8 / 5TH]
“Resurrecting” – Elevation Worship [4 / 19TH]
“Yes I Will” – Vertical Worship [- / 1ST]

# 1 One Year Ago This Week:
“Who You Say I Am” – Hillsong Worship

# 1 Two Years Ago This Week:
“Hard Love” – NeedToBreathe

Bethel Music holds on at # 1 for the 4TH week in a row, but this could be it for the instant worship song at our Sunday morning church services.

3 songs I’m loving have broken out of the pack, and they’ve climbed into my Top 5:

Casting Crowns have another bonafide smash on their hands with a track that’s from the point-of-view of John The Baptist. Everyone wanted to know all about him, but he declared himself to be a “Nobody”. He said, “I am a voice shouting in the wilderness. Clear the way, for the Lord’s coming !” You want to know about Somebody ? Let me tell you all about Jesus. “Cause I’m just a nobody – trying to tell everybody – all about Somebody – who saved my soul.”

Building 429 out of Fayetteville North Carolina have been together for 20 years, and they’ve scored some big hits on the radio during this decade of the 2010s, but “Fear No More” is actually their debut smash here on my chart. It’s got a Skillet sound to it, and that makes sense, as I enjoyed Building 429 LIVE in concert as one of the opening acts for Skillet back in January 2018.

And finally Jason Gray scores his debut smash here on my chart with his “pop-meets-reggae” track, “I’m Gonna Let It Go”. It’s also Top 15 nationwide on Christian radio. It’s got the perfect feel for a late-Summer day at the beach, but more importantly it’s got powerful lyrics:

I’m gonna take You at Your word
I’m gonna lay down all my burdens
Oh – I’m gonna let it – I’m gonna let it go

Check out his official music video:

This concludes another weekend of blog posts. I’ll do it again next weekend – 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. Enjoy this week my friends. I’m on Twitter @ChrisMDay, and I’m also the man behind the tweets for my church @LivingWatersHFL. May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in Him. AMEN.

My Top 10 Hits – Week 130

Every Monday night I post my all-new Top 10 Christian hit music chart based on personal preference and influenced by radio airplay. Here it is – for the week ending Sunday August 11TH 2019:

“Raise A Hallelujah” – Bethel Music [# 1 last week / 10TH week on chart]
“Till I Found You” – Phil Wickham [2 / 10TH]
“Symphony” – Switch [5 / 10TH]
“Resurrecting” – Elevation Worship [3 / 18TH]
“Greater Things” – Mack Brock [4 / 13TH]
“Nobody (But Jesus)” – Casting Crowns Ft. Matthew West [9 / 2ND]
“(Love Is The) Reason” – Unspoken [6 / 4TH]
“Dead Man Walking” – Jeremy Camp [7 / 4TH]
“Fear No More” – Building 429 [8 / 2ND]
“I’m Gonna Let It Go” – Jason Gray [- / 1ST]

# 1 One Year Ago This Week:
“Dream Small” – Josh Wilson

# 1 Two Years Ago This Week:
“Wonder” – Hillsong UNITED

My weekly tradition since 1985 continues with the 130TH week of the 3RD era of my personal hit music chart.

An interesting phenomenon occurs this week, as the 3 new entries on my chart from 9 weeks ago are now my Top 3 songs. When those 3 songs debuted at 7, 9, and 10 respectively I never imagined that any one of them would compete in my Top 3. I never even heard of Bethel Music or Switch before. Phil Wickham had a chance, but even his song took a few weeks to grow on me. I can’t imagine next week’s Top 3 being the same, but I’ve been wrong before.

Casting Crowns could very well score their 3RD # 1 smash in as many years, as “Nobody (But Jesus)” is a new favorite of mine, and it’s currently blowing up the airwaves on K-LOVE. It’s got a cool “pop-goes-country” sound to it.

Check out their awesome music video:

This concludes another weekend of blog posts. I’ll do it again next weekend – 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 129

Post date August 5, 2019

Every Monday night I post my all-new Top 10 Christian hit music chart based on personal preference and influenced by radio airplay. Here it is – for the week ending Sunday August 04TH 2019:

“Raise A Hallelujah” – Bethel Music [# 1 last week / 9TH week on chart]
“Till I Found You” – Phil Wickham [3 / 9TH]
“Resurrecting” – Elevation Worship [5 / 17TH]
“Greater Things” – Mack Brock [4 / 12TH]
“Symphony” – Switch [6 / 9TH]
“(Love Is The) Reason” – Unspoken [7 / 3RD]
“Dead Man Walking” – Jeremy Camp [8 / 3RD]
“Fear No More” – Building 429 [- / 1ST]
“Nobody (But Jesus)” – Casting Crowns Ft. Matthew West [- / 1ST]
“Let It Rain (Is There Anybody)” – Crowder Ft. Mandisa [9 / 4TH]

# 1 One Year Ago This Week:
“Dream Small” – Josh Wilson

# 1 Two Years Ago This Week:
“Wonder” – Hillsong UNITED

For the first time in perhaps ever we actually sang my current # 1 smash at the time during Praise & Worship. In fact we kicked-off our church service this past Sunday with Bethel Music’s “Raise A Hallelujah”. One of our Praise & Worship leaders introduced it by telling the story of how the song came to be. You can read that story here on Bethel’s web site, and you can also see the music video.

After we sang the song to Christ I went on stage to greet my church family, and I told everyone that a couple of months ago when I first started hearing that song on the radio (K-LOVE) I knew that we would eventually sing it during our Praise & Worship. I’ve been right before, and I was right again. It was a beautiful moment at Living Waters Full Gospel Church.

Praise & Worship is a special experience. It’s where we praise and worship and celebrate our Lord & Savior Jesus Christ – for everything that He has done for us, for everything that He is doing for us right this minute, and for everything that He will do for us. We sing to Christ – songs about Him. We raise our hands to Christ. We sway and dance for Christ. He is our audience of One.

This concludes another weekend of blog posts. I’ll do it again next weekend – 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 128

Post date July 29, 2019

Every Monday night I post my all-new Top 10 Christian hit music chart based on personal preference and influenced by radio airplay. Here it is – for the week ending Sunday July 28TH 2019:

“Raise A Hallelujah” – Bethel Music [# 2 last week / 8TH week on chart]
“Prize Worth Fighting For” – Jamie Kimmett [1 / 16TH]
“Till I Found You” – Phil Wickham [3 / 8TH]
“Greater Things” – Mack Brock [4 / 11TH]
“Resurrecting” – Elevation Worship [5 / 16TH]
“Symphony” – Switch [6 / 8TH]
“(Love Is The) Reason” – Unspoken [9 / 2ND]
“Dead Man Walking” – Jeremy Camp [10 / 2ND]
“Let It Rain (Is There Anybody)” – Crowder Ft. Mandisa [8 / 3RD]
”God’s Not Done With You” – Tauren Wells [7 / 5TH]

# 1 One Year Ago This Week:
“Dream Small” – Josh Wilson

# 1 Two Years Ago This Week:
“Wonder” – Hillsong UNITED

It’s a new # 1 smash this week, as Bethel Music reach the pinnacle with “Raise A Hallelujah”. It made it to # 1 in its 8TH week. That’s the fastest climb to # 1 since Big Daddy Weave‘s “Alive” 3 months ago.

A couple of months ago I didn’t know who “Bethel Music” was. Now I do, but strangely this is actually their follow-up single to “Stand In Your Love” which reached # 5 last October on my chart. That was from Josh Baldwin of … that’s right – you guessed it – Bethel Music. “Raise A Hallelujah” is the 2ND single from the Bethel Music album, “Victory”.

I’m back from vacation. I was on a 4-day / 309-mile road-trip to and from Fort Myers and Fort Myers Beach in Southwest Florida. My blog continued as normal this past weekend, as I wrote Thursday’s, Friday’s, and Sunday’s blogs several days in advance (before I departed on my road-trip). Tonight’s blog was written and published immediately on this Monday night. This Thursday night I’ll share some “Mini-Thoughts” with you regarding my weekend vacation.

But for now here’s Jeremy Camp’s official music video for “Dead Man Walking”.

This concludes another weekend of blog posts. I’ll do it again next weekend – 4 new entries on Thursday, Friday, Sunday, and Monday. I don’t blog on Saturdays. That’s my day of rest.
