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 December 30TH 2018:

1. “Well Done” – The Afters [# 1 last week / 11TH week on chart]
2. “Nobody Loves Me Like You” – Chris Tomlin [3 / 9TH]
3. “Even Then” – Micah Tyler [2 / 20TH]
4. “joy” – for King & Country [5 / 6TH]
5. “Known” – Tauren Wells [4 / 21ST]
6. “Maybe It’s OK” – We Are Messengers [6 / 5TH]
7. “Not Today” – Hillsong United [7 / 15TH]
8. “Red Letters” – Crowder [9 / 2ND]
9. “Best News Ever” – MercyMe [10 / 2ND]
10. “Forever On Your Side” – NeedToBreathe [- / 1ST]

# 1 One Year Ago This Week – “Lions” – Skillet

It’s my 52ND and final weekly chart of 2018, as The Afters spend a 3RD week at the top with their latest “Well Done”. The Afters are the only act on my current chart who also charted during the previous “salvation” era of my chart from 2006 to 2010. In fact their long-running debut smash “Never Going Back To OK” was at # 9 on the final weekly chart of 2007. Interestingly Skillet (# 1 a year ago) also charted during that “salvation” era – with 6 hits !

NeedToBreathe’s “Forever On Your Side” becomes the 57TH hit on my weekly chart in 2018. Tomorrow – New Year’s Day – in a special bonus blog post – I’ll #CountUp my Top 18 hits of 2018 from # 1 to # 18. 3 hits on my current weekly chart will be on the Top 18 chart.

For those of you who check out my blog mostly on Mondays to track the hits I thank you so much for supporting Christian artists and their music. God used His music to rescue me and save me back in August of 2006. He used His music on the radio to pull me out of the darkness and bring me closer to Him.

2018 was a fun year of compiling my weekly charts, and I’ll keep it going every Monday night in 2019. It’s compiled all throughout the week, and it’s published after 6 PM U.S. East Coast time on Monday nights.

This is my 167TH and final blog post of 2018. I pray for a safe and secure New Year’s Eve for you, and we’ll hang out again all throughout 2019 here on “Saturday Night Retro” – one of my CountUp Ministries.

# 1 One Year Ago This Week – “Control (Somehow You Want Me)” – Tenth Avenue North

Last Thursday night in Estero Florida (between Fort Myers and Naples) I saw for King & Country and Zach Williams LIVE in concert.

Neon Feather opened the show a full 30 minutes before showtime. I had never heard of him before. He’s a trance, techno, and house deejay for Christ, and he remixes Christian tracks for other popular artists. He was very good, and I’m qualified to say that with my own background in that genre of music (before salvation). I plan to check out some of his dance remixes online.

Caitie Hurst was the next artist up at showtime (7 PM), and I had never heard of her before either. Neon Feather was one of her musicians. She was pretty good too. Her music was poppy and danceable.

Zach Williams was up next, and he plowed through 7 songs in a row including his first 4 big chart hits. He even threw in an original Christmas song. He sounded really good, and his band was awesome too. He’s becoming one of the biggest male stars in Christian radio, and deservedly so. I love hearing his story of salvation.

for King & Country was the headliner that the several thousand in attendance went crazy for (particularly little kids and teenaged girls). I’ve said it a few times before. I’ve never really been a fan of them or their music until just recently. Zach Williams was actually the selling point for me for this show, but as the concert approached I became more and more of a fan of the duo. They performed 4 Christmas songs, 9 of their hits (5 classics and 4 new ones from their new album), and 6 more Christmas songs (including “joy”). For much of their performance I was up on my feet singing along, clapping my hands, and dancing. (I had a floor seat very near the extended stage.)

It was an awesome 4-hour show on that Thursday night – one to remember for awhile.

This concludes another weekend of blog posts. I’ll do it again next weekend – 3 blog posts on Thursday, Friday, and Monday. I don’t blog on Saturdays. That’s my day of rest.

# 1 One Year Ago This Week – “Control (Somehow You Want Me)” – Tenth Avenue North

Micah Tyler, Lauren Daigle, and We Are Messengers were on my chart exactly one year ago this week.

Later this week I’ll be seeing for King & Country and Zach Williams LIVE in concert. I saw the setlist of a recent concert posted online. They performed 4 traditional Christmas songs – followed by 9 of their biggest hits (and some new tracks too) – followed by 6 more Christmas songs – with “joy” included in the midst of it. So 19 songs in all. Zach Williams opened the show with 7 songs (including all 4 of his recent chart hits). I’m so looking forward to this show. It should be a lot of fun !

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