My Top 10 Hits – Week 326

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 nearly 45 years. Here’s this week’s chart – for the week ending Sunday May 14TH 2023 – the 326TH week of this current era that began on Presidents’ Day Weekend of 2017:

TW LW WKS SONG TITLE ARTIST / SITE

Matt Maher
2 2 11 This Is Our God Phil Wickham

7 6 5 Desert Road Casting Crowns
8 1 Anxious Heart Jeremy Camp
9 9 4 Thank God I Do Lauren Daigle
10 10 2 You Will Be Found Natalie Grant Ft. Cory Asbury

# 1 This Week In:
2022 – “Egypt” – Cory Asbury
2021 – “Help Is On The Way (Maybe Midnight)” – TobyMac
2020 – “I Will Fear No More” – The Afters
2019 – “Alive” – Big Daddy Weave
2018 – “The Way (New Horizon)” – Pat Barrett
2017 – “Forgiven” – Crowder

JEREMY CAMP – One of my favorite singers is back with his 8TH hit since 2017, and 9TH including “Tonight” in 2006. His “Anxious Heart” finally made it onto my Top 10 after a couple of months of radio airplay on great radio stations like K-LOVE, The Joy FM, and WGTS. It’s a deeply personal song that Jeremy wrote a couple of years ago based on his struggle with anxiety. I can relate. Check this out:

Trust in the LORD with all your heart. Do not depend on your own understanding. Seek His will in all you do, and He will show you which path to take. (Proverbs 3:5-6 NLT)

This concludes another weekend of blog posts. I’ll do it again with the new weekend – and 4 new entries – known as #TravelThursday, a special #MilitaryFriday, #SundayScripture, and #MusicMonday.

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 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.

My Top 5 Hits RETRO – 2008

Hello again retro music fans. Every Friday I post the Top 5 of one of my classic hit music charts based on personal preference and influenced by radio airplay from either 15, 20, 25, or 35 years ago this weekend (rotating each week).

It’s the 1ST Friday of the month, so I go back 15 years ago. Here it is – for the week ending Sunday May 04TH 2008:

  1. “Yours” – Dizmas
  2. “Shine Like The Stars” – Stellar Kart
  3. “Face Down” – Family Force 5
  4. “Southern Weather” – The Almost
  5. “Addicted” – P.O.D.

Sonny is “Addicted”. That’s Sonny Sandoval – lead singer of P.O.D. (Payable On Death). “Addicted” was a radio hit at both U.S. Christian Rock and U.S. Mainstream Rock during the Spring of 2008. It was the first single from their album “When Angels & Serpents Dance”. It was a # 1 smash on my chart.

All good things must come to an end, so they say. This marks the final edition of “My Top 5 Hits RETRO” after over 5 years. This is one of the original 2 weekly features that I’ve produced ever since the January 2018 reboot of my blog here on WordPress. After careful consideration I’ve decided to discontinue the Friday edition of my blog, and scale-back to 3 weekly editions on Thursdays, Sundays, and Mondays.

It’s halftime my friends. I’ll be back on Sunday and Monday with 2 more blog posts for this weekend. Enjoy your Saturday. And for the very last time – Thanks for going retro with me !
