2019 – “Nobody (But Jesus)” – Casting Crowns Ft. Matthew West
2018 – “Who You Say I Am” – Hillsong Worship
2017 – “Broken Things” – Matthew West

BIG DADDY WEAVE – They are back with their 8TH hit since 2017 – “I’ve Just Seen Too Much”. It’s from their 15-track album “Let It Begin”, and it’s their 4TH single from the album – following “God Is In This Story”, “Heaven Changes Everything”, and the title track – “Let It Begin”. It’s good to have Mike Weaver and the guys from Mobile Alabama back on the radio with a new track.

THIS IS MY STORY – Yesterday I got to share a short version of my salvation story with my church family of the past 2 years as an intro to my Communion. (I lead our monthly Communion every first Sunday.) I shared how God used loud rock music to rescue and save me 19 years and 2½ weeks ago. If you were following my chart back then – you witnessed it gradually flipping from a secular to a Christian Top 25 pop music chart. You likely saw songs and artists that you never heard of before. That’s how my fantastic journey in Christ started for me.

ONE-HIT WONDERKim Walker-Smith hit # 8 back in August 2017 with “Throne Room”. It’s based on Hebrews 4:16 – So let us come boldly to the throne of our gracious God. There we will receive His mercy, and we will find grace to help us when we need it most.

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). You can link to it here.

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 in South Florida 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.

My Top 10 Hits – Week 446

Every Monday (this week on a Tuesday) 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 almost 50 years. Here’s this week’s chart – for the week ending Sunday August 31ST 2025 – the 446TH week of this current era that began on Presidents’ Day Weekend of 2017:

CHARTBEAT – Summer ends quietly here on my chart with 8 non-movers and (strangely) a new # 1, as Andrew Ripp hits the top for the 2ND time with his 6TH hit. He previously spent a single week at # 1 near the end of 2020 with his debut hit “Jericho”. He hit # 2 with “Fill My Cup” and “Love’s Got A Way”. Overall – my chart is aging with an average of over 13 weeks onboard for the 10 songs. There’s been a dearth of new releases, and new music on the radio, and hence new entries on my chart. Activity should pick-up a bit into the new Fall season. I’m starting to like “Mighty Name Of Jesus” from Hope Darst and Josh Baldwin. Maybe next week ?

SUMMER OF 2025 – Tomorrow is the big day when I reveal my Top 10 hits of the 15 weeks of summer from Memorial Day Weekend to Labor Day Weekend here in the U.S.A. Publication time is set for the usual 3 AM U.S. east coast time (0700 UTC) when all of my blog posts are published.

ONE-HIT WONDERCitizen Way hit # 4 for 3 weeks during the Summer of 2017 with their catchy and danceable radio favorite “Bulletproof”. It’s all about being bulletproof – because of You Lord. I was hoping for more music from Citizen Way after that, but it turned out to be their first and only hit on my chart. Their biggest radio hit occurred in 2014 with “How Sweet The Sound” which still receives good recurrent airplay on the radio.

SUMMER OF 2025 – It’s almost done – with just one more week to go. The 15 weeks of summer from Memorial Day Weekend to Labor Day Weekend here in the U.S.A. comes to a close, and as is years of tradition – I’ll be counting up the Top 10 hits of the summer based on chart performance. Those 10 hits are already set with 7 of them on this week’s chart. The other 3 fell off in June and July. Spoiler Alert – One of those hits is “Unashamed” from Matthew West. I’ll do my special #CountUp on Wednesday September 03RD 2025.

ONE-HIT WONDER – Britt Nicole spent 3 weeks on my chart 8 summers ago with “Be The Change”. In the song Britt proclaims that there’s too much light to be livin’ in the dark. We can “Be The Change”. Let’s let our heart burn bright. Let’s make this world bright. Turn on all the lights !

2019 – “Raise A Hallelujah” – Bethel Music
2018 – “Who You Say I Am” – Hillsong Worship
2017 – “Hard Love” – NEEDTOBREATHE

RYAN STEVENSON – His catchy “Preach” is his 9TH hit on my chart. It quietly entered my chart at # 10 last week, and this week it moves up 5 notches to # 5. I love the song, and it deserves more airplay on the radio. Assisting him is Matt Hammitt – who you may know as the 19-year lead singer of Sanctus Real from 1996 to 2015. Ryan was # 1 exactly 4 years ago with one of my favorites from 2021 – and another collaboration – with Vince Gill and Amy Grant. (That song also deserved more radio airplay than it got.)

ONE-HIT WONDERJasmine Murray spent 5 weeks on my chart in May and into June 2017 with her uplifting track “Fearless”. It was the only time she appeared on my chart. Nationally she followed-up “Fearless” with another Top 10 radio favorite – “For God So Loved”. She was a finalist during the 2009 season of “American Idol”.
