Every Monday I post my all-new Top 10 Christian hit music chart based on personal preference and influenced by radio airplay. It’s the continuation of a weekly hobby that goes back 40+ years. Here it is – for the week ending Sunday April 26TH 2020:

“Almost Home” – MercyMe [# 1 last week / 19TH week on chart]
“Alive And Breathing” – Matt Maher [2 / 7TH]
“I Will Fear No More” – The Afters [3 / 14TH]
“(I’ll) Never Let You Down” – Hawk Nelson Ft. Hunter & Tara [4 / 5TH]
“Your Name Is Power” – Rend Collective [6 / 16TH]
“See A Victory” – Elevation Worship [5 / 12TH]
“The God Who Stays” – Matthew West [7 / 23RD]
“Waymaker” – Michael W. Smith Ft. Vanessa Campagna [8 / 14TH]
“Keep Me In The Moment” – Jeremy Camp [10 / 2ND]
“Great Things” – Phil Wickham [- / 1ST]

# 1 This Week In:
2019 – “Alive” – Big Daddy Weave
2018 – “Freedom Hymn” – Austin French
2017 – “Even If” – MercyMe

Phil Wickham returns to my chart for what appears to be an annual tradition; although, he’s a little bit early this year. His “Living Hope” was a Summer of 2018 hit, and his “Till I Found You” was a # 2 hit during the Summer of 2019. Now he’s back with his Summer of 2020 hit – a couple of months early. It’s “Great Things”, and it’s the lead-off track of his Summer of 2018 studio album, “Living Hope”. All 3 hits mentioned were actually released as promotional digital singles several weeks apart just prior to the album’s release, but their respective releases to Christian radio have been staggered since then.

Phil has used the upbeat “Great Things” to kickoff Praise & Worship at various churches where he led the music.

This concludes another weekend of blog posts. I’ll do it again this upcoming weekend – with 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. I’m also on Twitter and Flickr.

Be blessed my friends ! May the 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.

“Almost Home” – MercyMe [# 1 last week / 18TH week on chart]
“Alive And Breathing” – Matt Maher [2 / 6TH]
“I Will Fear No More” – The Afters [3 / 13TH]
“(I’ll) Never Let You Down” – Hawk Nelson Ft. Hunter & Tara [4 / 4TH]
“See A Victory” – Elevation Worship [5 / 11TH]
“Your Name Is Power” – Rend Collective [7 / 15TH]
“The God Who Stays” – Matthew West [9 / 22ND]
“Waymaker” – Michael W. Smith Ft. Vanessa Campagna [10 / 13TH]
“Amen” – Micah Tyler [6 / 9TH]
“Keep Me In The Moment” – Jeremy Camp [- / 1ST]

# 1 This Week In:
2019 – “Greatness Of Our God” – Newsboys
2018 – “Freedom Hymn” – Austin French
2017 – “Even If” – MercyMe

No change at the top – or in the Top 5. All of the action is in the bottom-half of my Top 10 as several long-running songs actually ease back up a notch or two.

Jeremy Camp is back with his follow-up to my # 1 smash “Dead Man Walking”. It’s his 4TH hit since 2017, and he joins The Afters, Hawk Nelson, and Michael W. Smith as current artists who were on my chart during previous eras. Jeremy made his debut on my chart in November 2006 with “Tonight”.

I’ve seen Jeremy LIVE in concert 4 times now (since 2015) – including twice in 2020 alone ! He puts on a solid set of his hits past and present, and I love his story as told in the recent movie “I Still Believe”.

I also love his new hit. Check out his official music video:

Be blessed my friends ! May the 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.

Coming up on Memorial Day Weekend here in the U.S. I’ll present a special Tuesday blog post featuring all of my # 1 hits since my chart was resurrected for this current era in February of 2017. It will be a 5TH blog post for that holiday weekend, and it will become a permanent page that will be maintained on this web site. By then maybe we’ll have my 50TH # 1 hit. (“Almost Home” is # 46.)

♫ Almost home
Brother it won’t be long
Soon all your burdens will be gone
With all your strength
Sister run wild – run free
Hold up your head
Keep pressing on
We are almost home ♫

Be blessed my friends ! May the 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.
