CHRIS TOMLIN – 3 weeks ago I hinted that his 11TH hit on my chart was on the verge of becoming his 4TH # 1 smash, and so it is. “How Good It Is” ascends to the pinnacle. It’s the first single off his 18TH studio album – “The King Is Still The King”. It’s a ready-made Sunday Morning Praise + Worship song for church bands – with lyrics taken straight from Psalms 92, 98, 100, and 113.

ONE-HIT WONDERBuilding 429 – named after Ephesians 4:29 – scored a HUGE # 1 smash in October and November 2019 with “Fear No More”. In addition to its 6 consecutive weeks at # 1 – it also spent 7 consecutive weeks at # 2. To this day it is still one of my Top 40 songs of the past 461 weeks (based on chart performance). It was actually the band’s last big hit after 15 years of hits on the radio. Nowadays lead singer Jason Roy is the only remaining member. He continues touring with new musicians supporting him.

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).

‘TIS THE SEASON TO BE JOLLY – Christmas music has taken over at U.S. Christian Radio – either 24/7 (The Joy FM) – or on weekends (K-LOVE). Even The Message on SiriusXM lost their regular satellite channel to Christmas music. (It’s still available via streaming on a temporary channel on their app.) As a result – the national weekly music charts representing airplay at U.S. Christian Radio are impractical as Christmas songs rise, and current hits drop or disappear. New music won’t be released to the radio until the new year. I’ll continue to chart my favorite hits of the week, and maybe I’ll even discover some new radio stations that play today’s Christian hits. Perhaps I’ll check out some of the recommended songs on Spotify.

ONE-HIT WONDER – Jason Gray hit # 3 in October 2019 with his reggae-inspired track “I’m Gonna Let It Go”. It had a good feel to it; although, some radio stations didn’t play it because it sounded too secular. You decide:

JET TROUBLE – He’s James E. Troublefield IV, but he’s known professionally as Jet Trouble. He’s got his debut hit on my chart as “I Need You” finally enters my chart. It was actually released in July 2023, and after languishing for a couple of years – it’s now starting to make an impact at U.S. Christian Radio – particularly K-LOVE. He explains – “The song was born out of a cry to God after my dad was diagnosed with ALS and quickly went downhill in his battle with the disease before passing. I was easily going through the worst season of my life. I felt angry and confused and a lot of times my prayer time consisted of nothing more than, ‘God – I need you'”. 

ONE-HIT WONDERVertical Worship had a big hit from August to November of 2019 with “Yes I Will”. It peaked at # 3 and spent 12 weeks on my chart. We sang it many times during Praise + Worship at my home church at the time. Vertical Worship are the Praise + Worship band at Harvest Bible Chapel in the Chicago area.
