My Top 10 Hits – Week 305

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 December 18TH 2022 – the 305TH week of this current era that began on Presidents’ Day Weekend of 2017:

1 1 9 Who I Am
[2ND week @ # 1]
Ben Fuller
2 3 12 Love Me Like I Am for King & Country Ft. Jordin Sparks
3 4 15 Miracle Power We The Kingdom
4 2 12 Ain’t Nobody Cody Carnes
5 5 9 Then Christ Came MercyMe
6 7 18 New Creation Mac Powell
7 6 19 Good Morning Mercy Jason Crabb
8 10 3 I See Grace Micah Tyler
9 1 My Story Your Glory Matthew West
10 1 First Things First Consumed By Fire

# 1 This Week In:
2021 – “Weary Traveler” – Jordan St. Cyr
2020 – “Every Step Of The Way” – Cade Thompson
2019 – “Dead Man Walking” – Jeremy Camp
2018 – “Well Done” – The Afters
2017 – “Control (Somehow You Want Me)” – Tenth Avenue North

UPS & DOWNS – On my penultimate chart of 2022 there are a lot little moves up and down – including for King & Country moving up to # 2 for just the 2ND time ever, and first time in 3 years – since “Burn The Ships”. Also – We The Kingdom’s “Miracle Power” – continues its amazing resurgence – up to # 3 this week after dropping to # 10 at the end of October following a previous peak at # 4.

FIRST THINGS FIRST – I love a debut artist – especially one who I’ve never heard of before. I started hearing this song on K-LOVE a couple of weeks ago, and I’ve liked it from the start – its melody and its lyrics. Consumed By Fire are the Ward Brothers – Caleb (age 29), Jordan (33), and Joshua (37). They grew up in northeastern Oklahoma in their parents’ church – eventually leading Praise & Worship. Now they’ve got their breakthrough single on the radio from coast to coast.

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 Christmas edition of #RetroFriday#SundayScripture, and the final #Top10Monday of 2022.

My Top 5 Hits RETRO – 1997

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 3RD Friday of the month, so I go back 25 years ago. Here it is – for the week ending Sunday December 21ST 1997:

  1. “Tubthumping” – Chumbawamba
  2. “Legend Of A Cowgirl” – Imani Coppola
  3. “Mo Money Mo Problems” – Notorious B.I.G. Ft. Puff Daddy & Mase
  4. “Walkin’ On The Sun” – Smash Mouth
  5. “(I Just Wanna) Fly” – Sugar Ray Ft. Super Cat

19-year-old New York City native Imani Coppola hit # 2 on my chart in December 1997 for 3 weeks in a row. She was held from the top spot by Chumbawamba’s “Tubthumping”. It spent 26 weeks in a row on my chart. It finished 1997 as my # 21 hit of the year (out of 161). It also finished 1998 as my # 41 hit of the year (out of 188).

“Legend Of A Cowgirl” remains a favorite of mine 25 years later. In fact it’s currently in heavy rotation on my iPod Shuffles that play at my desk at my workplace. Here’s its award-nominated official music video:

Next #RetroFriday (in 2 weeks) I’ll go back 35 years ago to the end of December 1987. It’s when a 17-year-old teen from Long Island New York arrived “Out Of The Blue” to encourage you to “Shake Your Love”.

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

CHRISTMAS # 1 – I think I found my Christmas chart-topper for this year. Newcomer Ben Fuller reaches the top as he sings to God about who he is. He’s a child of the most-high God, and the most-high God’s for him. I love this song. I love Ben’s powerful voice. I love Ben’s passion in singing his song to God. I love the words that he uses.

This concludes another weekend of blog posts. I’ll do it again with the new weekend – and 4 new entries – known as #TravelThursday, #RetroFriday#SundayScripture, and #Top10Monday.
