Every Monday I post my all-new Top 10 Christian hit music chart based on personal preference and influenced by radio airplay from the previous week. It’s the continuation of a weekly hobby that goes back almost 50 years. Here’s this week’s chart – for the week ending Sunday September 21ST 2025 – the 449TH week of this current era that began on Presidents’ Day Weekend of 2017:
| TW | LW | WKS | SONG TITLE | ARTIST / SITE |

| 1 | 1 | 15 | Breakdown [4TH week @ # 1] |
Andrew Ripp |
| 2 | 2 | 14 | What An Awesome God | Phil Wickham |
| 3 | 4 | 3 | I’ve Just Seen Too Much | Big Daddy Weave |
| 4 | 3 | 7 | Preach | Ryan Stevenson Ft. Matt Hammitt |
| 5 | 5 | 18 | God Did It | Micah Tyler |
| 6 | 6 | 20 | The King Is In The Room | Phil Wickham |
| 7 | 9 | 8 | Can’t Steal My Joy | Josiah Queen X Brandon Lake |
| 8 | 8 | 3 | Still | Crowder |

# 1 This Week In:
2024 – “Up + Up” – Colton Dixon
2023 – “Praise You Anywhere” – Brandon Lake
2022 – “Good Morning Mercy” – Jason Crabb
2021 – “Into The Wild” – Josh Baldwin
2020 – “God So Loved” – We The Kingdom
2019 – “Nobody (But Jesus)” – Casting Crowns Ft. Matthew West
2018 – “Only Jesus” – Casting Crowns
2017 – “Broken Things” – Matthew West
ANDREW RIPP – His “Breakdown” becomes the first song to spend more than 3 weeks at # 1 since Steven Curtis Chapman did it with “Do It Again” in December and January. (That song spent 7 weeks at # 1.)
ONE-HIT WONDER – Time for a correction. Tiffany Arbuckle Lee – AKA Plumb – is not a one-hit wonder. Last week I claimed that her late-2017 hit “God Help Me” was the first and only time she appeared on my chart. Wrong. It was exactly 19 years ago next weekend that Plumb entered my chart at # 25 with an EDM version of her original Christian pop song “Cut”. The Bronleewe & Bose Radio Edit was actually a smash hit on the secular dance charts as well as in dance clubs nationwide. So Plumb secured two hits on my chart 11 years apart in 2006 and 2017.
NEXT WEEK – My 450TH chart (since the reboot of February 2017) will be published next Monday, but slightly later than normal. It should appear online by 3 PM U.S. East Coast time (7 PM UTC).
SPOTIFY – You can hear “My Top 10 Hits” anytime by accessing my CountUp playlist on Spotify. All 10 hits are there from top to bottom. You can hear them in order from # 1 to # 10, or you can shuffle them. My playlist will be updated every weekend (usually before the actual chart is presented here on Mondays). You can link to it here.
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. God used loud music on the radio in South Florida to reach me in August of 2006. I’ve been testifying about Him ever since.
Be blessed my friends ! May our 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.
