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 07TH 2019:

1. “Church (Take Me Back)” – Cochren & Co. [# 1 last week / 20TH week]
2. “Prize Worth Fighting For” – Jamie Kimmett [3 / 13TH]
3. “Till I Found You” – Phil Wickham [4 / 5TH]
4. “Is He Worthy ?” – Chris Tomlin [2 / 14TH]
5. “Raise A Hallelujah” – Bethel Music [8 / 5TH]
6. “Greater Things” – Mack Brock [7 / 8TH]
7. “Resurrecting” – Elevation Worship [6 / 13TH]
8. “Born Again” – Austin French [5 / 19TH]
9. “Symphony” – Switch [9 / 5TH]
10. ”God’s Not Done With You” – Tauren Wells [10 / 2ND]

# 1 One Year Ago This Week:
“Do It Again” – Elevation Worship

# 1 Two Years Ago This Week:
“The Comeback” – Danny Gokey

This will likely be the final week at # 1 for “Church (Take Me Back)” by Cochren & Co. Either Jamie Kimmett or Phil Wickham will score my next # 1 smash. Both of their current radio singles were released last year, and they were slow to build momentum at Christian pop radio. Jamie’s “Prize Worth Fighting For” was released in December 2018, and it’s currently in its 23RD week on Billboard’s Top 50 chart. Phil’s “Till I Found You” was released in April 2018 (over 14 months ago), and it’s currently in its 35TH week on Billboard’s chart.

♫ When every day is just another struggle
And every choice is an act of war
Gotta pray / gotta press on
To the prize worth fighting for
When it feels like I’ll never make it
When my heart’s crying out for more
Gotta pray / gotta press on
To the prize worth fighting for ♫

♫ I never knew anything lasts forever
Till I found You / till I found You
I never dreamed anything could be better
Till I found You / till I found You
You’re rewriting my story
And I’m brand new like a morning
Oh I never knew anything lasts forever
Till I found You / till I found You ♫

It’ll be an exciting chart next week to see who finds the top prize.

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.

Cochren & Co. are still at # 1 on my chart for a 3RD week in a row. Even more impressive is the fact that out of 118 charted songs since the resurrection of this chart in February of 2017 – “Church (Take Me Back)” is now ranked at # 5 overall during this era !

The local South Florida radio station that God used to rescue and save me nearly 13 years ago (next month) is getting ready to leave the terrestrial airwaves after 25 years. I’ve actually been listening to this radio station just a little bit in my car over the past few days, as K-LOVE has actually been mostly off-the-air here in South Florida due to maintenance and repair work on its 1,000-foot transmitter a few miles away from my home. My old radio station that I listened to faithfully for about 3½ years actually sounds more like it did from 2006 to 2009 than it did in 2010 when I drifted away from it. They even played several hits from the day. It was eerie hearing some of these hits from 10 to 13 years ago since I really haven’t tuned-in for over 9 years now. The station lost its way during the early-2010s, and they made promises to listeners they couldn’t keep. I stayed away from Christian radio for about 7 years – until I discovered K-LOVE 123 weeks ago.

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.

We are now 123 weeks into this 3RD era (I call it the K-LOVE era) of my personal hit music chart, and it’s the continuation of a hobby that began over 40 years ago when I – as a kid – listened to “American Top 40 With Casey Kasem” – and wrote down the songs as Casey counted them down from coast to coast.

I never imagined that a childhood hobby that became an adult hobby would eventually become part of my online ministry, but here we are.

This is the music that I enjoy listening to on the radio. I mostly listen to K-LOVE (over the airwaves), but every so often I listen to The Message on SiriusXM (online or via satellite). The Message tends to play newer music, as K-LOVE plays about 75% recurrent hits (of the past few years) and 25% current hits. K-LOVE actually reminds me a lot of a late-1970s / early-1980s Top 40 radio station – the type of radio station that inspired this hobby in the beginning.

If you’re not familiar with this music then Google or YouTube any song, and listen to it. Listen to the words. Hear God’s Good News for you. Open your heart. May it encourage you. May it inspire you. May it change your life forever. That’s what it did for me almost 13 years ago.

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.
