My Top 10 Hits – Week 138

Post author By Chris M. Day
Post date October 7, 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 October 06TH 2019:

“Nobody (But Jesus)” – Casting Crowns Ft. Matthew West
[# 1 last week / 10TH week on chart]
“Fear No More” – Building 429 [2 / 10TH]
“I’m Gonna Let It Go” – Jason Gray [4 / 9TH]
“Burn The Ships” – for King & Country [5 / 3RD]
“Up Again” – Dan Bremnes [7 / 2ND]
“Echo” – Elevation Worship Ft. Tauren Wells [6 / 3RD]
“Yes I Will” – Vertical Worship [3 / 8TH]
“Dead Man Walking” – Jeremy Camp [8 / 12TH]
“Good Grace” – Hillsong UNITED [9 / 5TH]
“Fighting For Me” – Riley Clemmons [- / 1ST]

# 1 One Year Ago This Week:
“Only Jesus” – Casting Crowns

# 1 Two Years Ago This Week:
“The Gospel” – Ryan Stevenson

I am back with my first new published chart since 3 weekends ago, but while my online activity was on hiatus – my weekly chart remained very active behind the screens. “Burn The Ships”, “Up Again”, and “Echo” debuted while I was on-the-road, and “Good Grace” re-entered my chart (after previously falling-off). “Fighting For Me” is new this week.

I say “on-the-road” because I was on a road-trip from my home in South Florida to my families’ homes in North Texas, and then back again. That’s 2,990.5 miles over the course of 13 days and 6 states. I listened to a lot of K-LOVE on-the-road. Before the road-trip I had noted all of the various radio frequencies between here and there (some 14 of them), and I tuned-in to each of them. I listened to far more K-LOVE on this road-trip than I usually do when I’m at home. There were just a few gaps along the way with no K-LOVE coverage in Central Florida and North Texas – so in these areas I listened to other great radio stations such as The Joy FM, 94.9 KLTY, and WAY-FM.

Building 429 nearly unseated Casting Crowns and Matthew West at # 1 this week, as “Fear No More” was probably the most-heard song on my road-trip. I think I heard I heard it about every 3 hours or less for 13 days. It’s a really good road song, but ever since I returned back home again earlier this week “Nobody (But Jesus)” seems to be picking up steam again in airplay, and I keep singing along to it every time I hear it. Both songs remain at their respective chart positions for a 7TH consecutive week.

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.

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 completely with joy and peace as you trust in Him.

My Top 10 Hits – Week 135

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 September 15TH 2019:

“Nobody (But Jesus)” – Casting Crowns Ft. Matthew West
[# 1 last week / 7TH week on chart]
“Fear No More” – Building 429 [2 / 7TH]
“Dead Man Walking” – Jeremy Camp [3 / 9TH]
“Yes I Will” – Vertical Worship [5 / 5TH]
“(Love Is The) Reason” – Unspoken [4 / 9TH]
“I’m Gonna Let It Go” – Jason Gray [6 / 6TH]
“Symphony” – Switch [7 / 15TH]
“Raise A Hallelujah” – Bethel Music [8 / 15TH]
“You Know Me Better” – Stars Go Dim [- / 1ST]
“Rescue Story” – Zach Williams [- / 1ST]

# 1 One Year Ago This Week:
“Only Jesus” – Casting Crowns

# 1 Two Years Ago This Week:
“Broken Things” – Matthew West

There’s not much change in this week’s chart from last week. Chris Cleveland and his band from Tulsa Oklahoma – Stars Go Dim – score their 2ND hit on my chart with “You Know Me Better”. It was actually released as a single some 14 months ago back when “Heaven On Earth” was spending 6 weeks on my chart. “Heaven On Earth” turned out to be such a big, catchy, and long-lasting radio hit that “You Know Me Better” had to wait awhile to get any substantial radio airplay. Now it’s arrived on the scene. Better late than never.

Zach Williams scores his 4TH hit on my chart with his “Rescue Story”. The more I hear it – the more I love it. Zach is testifying to his Lord & Savior Jesus Christ in it.

You were the voice in the desert
Calling me out in the dead of night
Fighting my battles for me
You are my rescue story
Lifted me up from the ashes
Carried my soul from death to life
Bringing me from glory to glory
You are my rescue story

This concludes another weekend of blog posts. This blog post serves as the season finale. This is my 78TH blog post in a row since early-May 2019. I have not missed a Thursday, Friday, Sunday, or Monday since then. I’ve even posted on a couple of bonus Tuesdays as well.

This blog needs a break, and I need a break. I’m unplugging from all forms of social media (WordPress, Twitter, and Flickr) for the next 2½ weeks. I’ll return on Thursday October 03RD 2019 with the first of 4 new entries for the weekend.

While I’m on hiatus feel free to go back in time and read (or re-read) any of my recent blog posts, or you can go back even further to the late-2000s. I posted over 1,300 blog posts from 2007 to 2010 back during the first 5 years of my salvation. One of my favorite things to do is to read what I was blogging about exactly a decade ago (to the date) as a baby Christian.

Enjoy the rest of the month of September my friends. I’m on Twitter @ChrisMDay, and I’m also the man behind the tweets for my church @LivingWatersHFL.

My Top 10 Hits – Week 134

Post date September 9, 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 September 08TH 2019:

“Nobody (But Jesus)” – Casting Crowns Ft. Matthew West
[# 1 last week / 6TH week on chart]
“Fear No More” – Building 429 [2 / 6TH]
“Dead Man Walking” – Jeremy Camp [3 / 8TH]
“(Love Is The) Reason” – Unspoken [7 / 8TH]
“Yes I Will” – Vertical Worship [8 / 4TH]
“I’m Gonna Let It Go” – Jason Gray [6 / 5TH]

“Raise A Hallelujah” – Bethel Music [4 / 14TH]
“Good Grace” – Hillsong UNITED [9 / 2ND]
“Power” – We Are Messengers [10 / 3RD]

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

# 1 Two Years Ago This Week:
“Broken Things” – Matthew West

Well Summer is over (here in the U.S.), and now we’re in to the final 17 weekly hit music charts of 2019. I’ll end the year on New Year’s Eve with “My Top 19 Of 2019” and a look back at the year that was.

There are no new entries this week, but next week look for Zach Williams to enter with his “Rescue Story”. It’s receiving significant radio airplay on K-LOVE, and the song is growing on me. I love its message of salvation. There’s also a good chance that “Echo” – the soulful new song from Elevation Worship (featuring Tauren Wells) could claim a spot on my Top 10.

Finally Unspoken return to # 1 nationally at Christian pop radio. “(Love Is The) Reason” is their first # 1 smash nationwide. They came close in 2014 with their # 2 hit “Start A Fire”. Unspoken should not be confused with Spoken – a different Christian band that actually scored with 3 hits on my chart during the original 2006 to 2010 Salvation Era. They actually remade the Cyndi Lauper classic “Time After Time”, and that song entered my chart during my 2ND week of salvation !

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 – Summer Of 2019

Post author By Chris M. Day
Post date September 3, 2019

15 weekly hit music charts and 24 positive and encouraging hits (same as last Summer) have created this cumulative hit music chart of my Top 10 hits of the Summer Of 2019 based on personal preference and influenced by radio airplay. Here it is – from Memorial Day Weekend (last Sunday of May) to Labor Day Weekend (first Sunday of September):

“Raise A Hallelujah” – Bethel Music
“Resurrecting” – Elevation Worship
“Prize Worth Fighting For” – Jamie Kimmett
“Till I Found You” – Phil Wickham
“Church (Take Me Back)” – Cochren & Co.
“Greater Things” – Mack Brock
“Symphony” – Switch
“Born Again” – Austin French
“Is He Worthy” – Chris Tomlin
“Nobody (But Jesus)” – Casting Crowns Ft. Matthew West

Elevation Worship owned last summer’s # 1 smash with “Do It Again”, and they nearly did it again with this summer’s smash, “Resurrecting”. It fell 10 points shy of the # 1 spot for this summer.

Matthew West was # 5 last Summer with “All In”, and his collaboration with Casting Crowns was my 10TH biggest hit of this Summer.

It’s 2 in a row for Chris Tomlin as well. “Resurrection Power” was # 6 last Summer.

Unlike last Summer no song spent all 15 weeks of Summer on my chart. Elevation Worship’s “Do It Again” did it last Summer, and their “Resurrecting” came the closest this Summer with 14 out of 15 weeks on my chart.

Years from now when I look back at this chart I’ll remember the good times that I enjoyed during these 100 days of summer. This was the soundtrack of my summer.

If you’re not familiar with one or any of these songs then use Google or YouTube to check them out. Enjoy the music, but listen to the words. The words of these songs represent God’s Word. Any one of these songs can change your life forever. God used music to rescue and save me from the darkness during the Summer Of 2006.

He has given me a new song to sing – a hymn of praise to our God. Many will see what He has done, and be amazed. They will put their trust in the LORD. (Psalm 40:3 NLT)

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.
