Here’s this week’s chart – for the week ending Sunday September 22ND 2024 – the 397TH week of this current era that began on Presidents’ Day Weekend of 2017:

COLTON DIXON – In a rarity – every # 1 smash this week in history (since 2017) – was also # 1 the previous week. No changes. And there’s no change at the top this week, as Colton Dixon holds steady with his 2ND # 1 smash and 4TH hit overall. It’s a song that reminds us that – if we get down – He picks us up – from the ground – He gives us love – that don’t give out – give in no condition. He lifts us up and up again !

TOP 40 OF 400 – We are now just 3 weeks away from my momentous 400TH week of this current chart era (since February 2017). My Top 40 hits cumulatively of the first 400 weeks will be presented here on Tuesday October 15TH 2024 at 3 AM U.S. East Coast time. 2 hits on my current chart will appear on my Top 40 chart.

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).

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 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.

GOD’S NOT DEADThis past Thursday afternoon I saw the 5TH installment of the popular “God’s Not Dead” movie series. It was very good with an interesting and very relevant and especially timely plot in these turbulent times that we live in. We had a lot of “AMEN” moments within the audience during the movie. I was surprised how many people watched the movie in our theatre at 4 PM (the premiere showing). It’s playing for a limited time only (7 days – hopefully it will be extended) – in a limited number of movie theatres nationwide (via Fathom Events).

ELEVENTYSEVEN – Before this current era of my pop chart there was another era that started days after my salvation in August of 2006. It lasted short of 3½ years, and some great loud music was on it that led me to my Lord + Savior Jesus Christ, or moved me closer to Him. One such song was “Love In Your Arms” from the Greenville South Carolina band Eleventyseven. It spent 6 weeks at # 1 on my chart, and that’s where it was exactly 17 years ago.

THE FORGE – Good to see North America seeing this wonderful movie at the theatres. After 11 days – it’s made over $16 million at the box office, and it actually increased its theatre count for this holiday weekend – up to 1,921. (That’s a rarity nowadays.) If it’s playing near you then I highly recommend you seeing it if you haven’t done so already. Box office receipts such as these should encourage movie makers to make more about our Glorious God. It should also encourage theatre owners to include these movies at their venues.

SUMMER OF 2024 – It’s the final week of our 15-week Summer (starting with Memorial Day Weekend and ending with Labor Day Weekend here in the U.S.A.). As is tradition here on #CountUp – I’ll present “My Top 10 Hits” of the Summer. In fact – I’m working on it now. It’ll publish tomorrow – Wednesday September 04TH 2024. Come back here to see my hottest Christian hits of the Summer.
