My Top 5 Hits RETRO – 1992

Post author By Chris M. Day
Post date March 18, 2022

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, 25, 30, or 35 years ago this weekend (rotating each week).

It’s the 3RD Friday of the month, so I go back 30 years ago. Here it is – for the week ending Sunday March 22ND 1992:

“Justified & Ancient (Stand By The JAMs)” – The KLF Ft. Tammy Wynette
“I’m Too Sexy” – Right Said Fred
“Black Or White” – Michael Jackson
“Good For Me” – Amy Grant
“I’ll Get By” – Eddie Money

Released late in 1991 – “Justified & Ancient (Stand By The JAMs)” was a worldwide pop and dance smash featuring the lead vocals of Country Music Legend Tammy Wynette (recorded and produced in Nashville). And The KLF went out on top. It was their final single ever.

That right there is one of the greatest dance songs ever made. Period.

Next #RetroFriday I’ll go back 35 years ago to March 1987. It’s the week that a charity song hit # 1 on my chart. It was inspired by a horrific disaster on the North Sea.

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 !

2019 – “Red Letters” – Crowder
2018 – “No One Like Our God” – Lincoln Brewster
2017 – “I Have This Hope” – Tenth Avenue North

WHAT YOU MISSED LAST WEEK – You missed Week 264 of my chart – because it wasn’t published – but it continued offline. “Jesus Is Coming Back” spent a 2ND week at # 1, and “Weary Traveler” slipped from # 2 to # 5. There were no new entries. Now that you’re caught up …

NEW # 1 – Singer-Songwriter Blessing Offor scores a # 1 smash on my chart with his debut song – “Brighter Days”. He’s got a positive ballad with powerful lyrics that’s breaking-out all across U.S. Christian radio as one of the top songs of the week for most increased plays.

♫ I know there’s gonna be some brighter days
I swear that love will find you in your pain
I feel it in me like the beating of life in my veins
I know there’s gonna be some brighter days
I know there’s gonna be some brighter days ♫

Blessing appeared on “Platinum Hit” in 2011- a short-lived music competition series on Bravo (an NBC cable network). He was also part of Season 7 (2014) of “The Voice” on NBC. Blessing is friends with Chris Tomlin, and they have recorded music together. He is on his imprint record label in partnership with Capitol Christian Music Group.

This blog is # 36 worldwide on the Top 80 Christian Music Blogs and Websites chart. Thank You for including us Feedspot !

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.

My Top 5 Hits RETRO – 1997

Post author By Chris M. Day
Post date March 11, 2022

It’s the 2ND Friday of the month, so I go back 25 years ago. Here it is – for the week ending Sunday March 09TH 1997:

“I Want You” – Savage Garden
“Call Me” – Le Click
“I Like It Like That” – The Blackout Allstars
“Wannabe” – The Spice Girls
“Please Don’t Go” – No Mercy

Good solid chart from 25 years ago. I still like all of those songs today. Well actually I had to go on YouTube to actually hear “Please Don’t Go” from No Mercy because the only “Please Don’t Go” song that I remembered was the 1992 dance cover version from KWS of the original 1979 K.C. And The Sunshine Band ballad.

“Wannabe” was sitting at # 1 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Savage Garden (Darren Hayes and Daniel Jones) scored a # 1 smash with their very first single (“I Want You”), and this was its 3RD week atop my chart (out of 4). They would follow it up with 5 more hits after that through 2000. They broke-up in 2001. As far as I know Darren and Daniel have never performed together since. Their career as a duo was short-lived, but there were several memorable songs during the era including two of the most successful hits ever at U.S. Hot Adult Contemporary radio – “Truly Madly Deeply” and “I Knew I Loved You”. Both of those hits enjoyed unusually long 2½-year runs in heavy and active rotation at pop radio.

Next #RetroFriday I’ll go back 30 years ago to March 1992. It’s when a legendary country singer was sitting at # 1 on my pop chart.

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 !

My Top 5 Hits RETRO – 2007

Post author By Chris M. Day
Post date March 4, 2022

It’s the 1ST Friday of the month, so I go back 15 years ago. Here it is – for the week ending Sunday March 04TH 2007:

“Made To Love” – TobyMac
“Word Of Mouth” – John Reuben
“Nostalgiatopia” – Eleventyseven
“Morning Air” – The Wedding
“Live Like We’re Alive” – Nevertheless

In February 2007 I discovered TobyMac. His debut smash – “Made To Love” – was playing on the radio around the clock, and I was loving its sound and meaning. It spent 5 weeks at # 1 on my chart at the time, and it finished 2007 as my # 2 hit of the entire year. (John Reuben’s “Word Of Mouth” was # 1 for the year.)

Toby charted 3 times during the “Salvation Era” of my chart – with “Made To Love”, “Boomin'”, and “City On Our Knees”.

And then I walked away from Christian music on the radio and ended my weekly hit music chart after 14+ consecutive years (1995-2010).

7 years later in February 2017 a TobyMac concert in Tallahassee and the discovery of K-LOVE on the airwaves in South Florida resurrected my chart, and Toby scored my first # 1 smash of the new era with “Love Broke Through”.

I’ve been to 4 TobyMac concerts over the past 12 years, and each one of them was an extra special event on my fantastic journey. Toby needs to get back down here to South Florida so that I can sing and dance to our God again with Toby’s inspiring music, lyrics, and energy.

Next #RetroFriday I’ll go back 25 years ago to March 1997. It’s when two guys from Australia scored a # 1 smash with their very first single.

This is the end of an abbreviated blog weekend, as #SundayScripture and #Top10Monday are on hiatus this weekend. They will both return next weekend. In fact a full weekend of blogging returns next weekend – with 4 new entries on Thursday, Friday, Sunday, and Monday. I don’t blog on Saturdays. That’s my day of rest.
