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 over 45 years. Here’s this week’s chart – for the week ending Sunday November 03RD 2024 – the 403RD week of this current era that began on Presidents’ Day Weekend of 2017:
BIG DADDY WEAVE – It took a while to get here (6+ months), but #BDW are back on my chart with their current song – “Let It Begin”. It’s their 7TH hit in 7 years, and it’s currently Top 10 nationwide at U.S. Christian music radio. It’s a song to God that reminds us that there’s a river that delivers us to freedom. And the current of His mercy brings restoration. If our wounds could tell one story – then let it be a testimony. Lord – You don’t leave us where we’ve been. If this is healing – then let it begin.
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 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.

TASHA LAYTON – Her 4TH hit in 4 years is now her 1ST # 1 smash on my chart. She previously hit with “Into The Sea (It’s Gonna Be OK)” (# 6 in 2020), “Look What You’ve Done” (# 8 in 2021), and “Never” (# 8 earlier this year). “Worship Through It” features Chris Brown of Elevation Worship. I love the lyrics. It proclaims that – when it looks impossible – look to the God of impossible. When you need a miracle – look to the God of miracles. He will come through every time. God can do it, so you must worship through it. Praise Him. Sing Hallelujah to the One. He can do what the world says can’t be done.

Here’s this week’s chart – for the week ending Sunday October 20TH 2024 – the 401ST week of this current era that began on Presidents’ Day Weekend of 2017:
PLACE IN THIS WORLD – Michael W. Smith is back with a hit that was huge here on my chart 33 years ago during the Summer Of 1991 – back when I was 24, and I didn’t know God. But it was a mainstream pop smash. It was my # 13 hit of the summer overall. Amy Grant cowrote it with Michael as well as Wayne Kirkpatrick. for King + Country take the lead on the new version of the song that was part of their “Unsung Hero” movie from earlier this year, and Michael W. Smith lends his voice to the redux. It’s straight-in to my chart this week into the Top 5. Could this be a future # 1 smash ?

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 over 45 years. But this week it’s a special chart to celebrate the past 400 weeks. It’s my #Top40Of400 !
400 WEEKS – We made it. From February 2017 to October 2024 – 7 years and 8 months – and still going strong. It’s been a fun 400 weeks. It’s also been a comforting 400 weeks during these troubled times in our nation and around the world. The resurrection of my music chart (and subsequently this blog) after a 7-year hiatus from 2010 to 2017 was due to the discovery of K-LOVE – the nationwide Christian Adult Contemporary music radio station. K-LOVE has been a blessing in my life, as it has been the soundtrack of the renaissance of my fantastic journey in Christ. Also presenting great music here in my new home in the Heartland of Florida – The Joy FM. I’m looking forward to the next 400 weeks, for the best is yet to come !
CALEB & JOHN – Their Romans 15:13-inspired debut song – “Hallelujah Feeling” – was a # 1 smash and a long-running hit of 27 weeks from August 2023 to February 2024. It spent 3 weeks at # 1, an extraordinary 13 weeks at # 2, and 5 weeks at # 3. That’s 21 weeks (5 months) in my Top 3. In its 25TH week on my chart – it surpassed “Nobody (But Jesus)” as my new # 1 smash overall of the current era. And then – a couple of months later – they followed it up with another huge # 1 smash – “Somebody Like Me” (featuring Cain). It’s still on my weekly chart, and it currently holds the # 7 spot overall (and climbing).
PATRICK MAYBERRY – His “Lead On Good Shepherd” is the longest-running hit during this 400-week era. From December 2023 to July 2024 it spent 33 weeks on my chart – including 2 weeks at # 1, 12 weeks at # 2, and 2 weeks at # 3. It pushed “Nobody (But Jesus)” down another notch to # 3, as it took over the # 2 spot.
MATTHEW WEST – He’s a featured artist on “Nobody (But Jesus)” with Casting Crowns, and he’s also at # 30, # 31, # 32, and # 38. Like most of the artists on my Top 40 – I’d never heard of him before 2017, but now he’s my # 1 artist overall. He’s hit my weekly chart with 9 songs totaling 169 weeks. 6 of them have gone to # 1 for a combined total of 23 weeks. (2 peaked at # 2.)
MERCYME – They are my # 2 artist overall with more weeks at # 1 (27) than any other artist. I was supposed to see MercyMe LIVE in concert last Thursday night in Southwest Florida – along with Crowder and Cochren & Co., but it was postponed due to Hurricane Milton. I’ll see MercyMe in early-April 2025, and it appears that Cochren & Co. will join them, but probably not Crowder. Nevertheless – there will be a lot of great music and big hits at that show.
NUMBERS 400 – 371 songs have appeared on my weekly chart over the past 400 weeks. That of course is a little less than one new entry per week. 103 of the 371 (27.8%) have gone to # 1, and 36 of the 103 are on my Top 40 overall. The rankings are based on a point-based system where each week at # 1 is worth 10 points, # 2 is worth 9 points, and so forth and so on down to # 10 being worth 1 point. Tie-breaking procedures were implemented 7 times when 2 or more songs tied in points – starting with the highest peak position, (and if still tied) the most weeks at # 1, (and if still tied) the most weeks at # 2. My Top 40 chart ranges from a high of 220 points for my # 1 smash – down to a low of 139 points for my # 39 and # 40 hits.
PRAISE TO OUR GOD – What a great chart that praises and worships our God and gives Him all of the glory. Each song on here makes me smile – and sing along. Some have a beat that make me want to dance for Jesus. If you’re not familiar with one or any of these songs then use Google, Bing, Amazon, Apple, Spotify, or YouTube to check them out. Enjoy the music, but especially listen to the words. The words of these songs represent God’s Word. Any one of these songs can change a life forever.
He has given me a new song to sing – a hymn of praise to our God. Many will see what He has done and be amazed. They will put their trust in the LORD.(Psalm 40:3 NLT)
