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 almost 50 years. Here’s this week’s chart – for the week ending Sunday September 27TH 2026 – the 502ND week of this current era that began on Presidents’ Day Weekend of 2017:

SPECIAL CHART NEXT WEEK – “My Top 10 Hits – Week 503” will not be presented next week. Instead – I’ll be presenting a special chart featuring “My Top 5 Artists – 500 Weeks”. It’ll be a look back at the 5 most successful artists on my chart during the first 500 weeks of this current era. All of the other regular features (above and below this section) will also be presented in next week’s special edition.
My # 18 hit during my first 3½ years of salvation in Christ from August 2006 to January 2010 is from a Dallas Texas area based band that was originally known as Screaming Mimes – and then Blisse. They formed in 1999 out of a Starbucks in Mesquite Texas. They changed their name to The Afters in 2001. If you’re a regular here on #MusicMonday then you’ll know that The Afters have been somewhat active here on my chart during this current era since 2017 with 3 out of 4 # 1 smash hits. And they were also on my chart a decade earlier in late-2007 and deep into 2008 with their big radio hit “Never Going Back To OK”. They are the rare artist who has appeared during both Christian music eras of my chart.
Next week it’s my # 19 hit, and it’s a hard rockin’ track that maybe you heard inside of a stadium at an NFL game.
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.
