My Top 10 Hits – Week 311

Post author By Chris M. Day
Post date January 30, 2023

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 nearly 45 years. Here’s this week’s chart – for the week ending Sunday January 29TH 2023 – the 311TH week of this current era that began on Presidents’ Day Weekend of 2017:

TW	LW	WKS	SONG TITLE	ARTIST / SITE
1	1	15	Who I Am [8TH week @ # 1]	Ben Fuller
2	2	7	First Things First	Consumed By Fire
3	3	18	Love Me Like I Am	for King & Country Ft. Jordin Sparks
4	5	7	My Story Your Glory	Matthew West
5	6	9	I See Grace	Micah Tyler
6	4	24	New Creation	Mac Powell
7	8	2	The Lord’s Prayer (It’s Yours)	Matt Maher
8	7	4	Gratitude	Brandon Lake
9	9	5	For The Love Of God	Andrew Ripp
10	10	2	God Really Loves Us	Crowder

# 1 This Week In:
2022 – “Weary Traveler” – Jordan St. Cyr
2021 – “Every Step Of The Way” – Cade Thompson
2020 – “Rescue Story” – Zach Williams
2019 – “Nobody Loves Me Like You” – Chris Tomlin
2018 – “Gracefully Broken” – Matt Redman Ft. Tasha Cobbs Leonard

TOBYMAC – Wait. TobyMac is not on my chart this week. And neither are Crowder, Cochren & Co., Tasha Layton, Jon Reddick, nor Terrian. But I’m going to see all of them LIVE in concert later this week. It’ll be my 5TH TobyMac concert, 2ND Crowder concert, 2ND Cochren & Co. concert, 1ST Tasha Layton concert, 1ST Jon Reddick concert, and 2ND Terrian concert. I’m looking forward to what will likely be an energetic 3½-hour show, and I know that I’ll be singing and dancing along to the music for Christ. Seeing Toby and his friends LIVE in concert seems like an “every other February” tradition for me. That’s because it is – in 2017, 2019, 2021, and now 2023. It was the February 2017 show that inspired the immediate restart of this weekly hit music chart.

This concludes another weekend of blog posts. I’ll do it again with the new weekend – and 4 new entries – known as #TravelThursday, #RetroFriday, #SundayScripture, and #Top10Monday.

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. I’m also on Twitter and Flickr.

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 310

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 nearly 45 years. Here’s this week’s chart – for the week ending Sunday January 22ND 2023 – the 310TH week of this current era that began on Presidents’ Day Weekend of 2017:

TW	LW	WKS	SONG TITLE	ARTIST / SITE
1	1	14	Who I Am [7TH week @ # 1]	Ben Fuller
2	2	6	First Things First	Consumed By Fire
3	4	17	Love Me Like I Am	for King & Country Ft. Jordin Sparks
4	3	23	New Creation	Mac Powell
5	8	6	My Story Your Glory	Matthew West
6	7	8	I See Grace	Micah Tyler
7	10	3	Gratitude	Brandon Lake
8	–	1	The Lord’s Prayer (It’s Yours)	Matt Maher
9	9	4	For The Love Of God	Andrew Ripp
10	–	1	God Really Loves Us	Crowder

# 1 This Week In:
2022 – “Weary Traveler” – Jordan St. Cyr
2021 – “Every Step Of The Way” – Cade Thompson
2020 – “Holy Water” – We The Kingdom
2019 – “Nobody Loves Me Like You” – Chris Tomlin
2018 – “Lions” – Skillet

WHO I AM – I really like the Consumed By Fire song “First Things First”, and I wanted to make it my new # 1 smash this week. In fact it was at # 1 earlier in the week in an early draft of my chart. But then Ben Fuller came roaring back, and I realized that I still like “Who I Am” a little bit more than “First Things First” right now. So it remains at # 1 for a 7TH week in a row. It’s my longest-running chart-topper since Jordan St. Cyr’s “Weary Traveler” exactly a year ago.

MR. MATT MAHER – He’s back with (surprisingly) only his 3RD hit on my chart. His previous 2 hits spent a combined 40 weeks on my chart – peaking at # 1 and # 2 respectively. “The Lord’s Prayer (It’s Yours)” has been out as a single since last June, but now it’s breaking-out at U.S. Christian Radio from coast-to-coast. It’s another catchy one that you can easily sing along to for our Lord.

This concludes another weekend of blog posts. I’ll do it again with the new weekend – and 5 new entries – starting with a #SpecialWednesday post, and then #TravelThursday, #RetroFriday, #SundayScripture, and #Top10Monday.

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 309

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 nearly 45 years. Here’s this week’s chart – for the week ending Sunday January 15TH 2023 – the 309TH week of this current era that began on Presidents’ Day Weekend of 2017:

TW	LW	WKS	SONG TITLE	ARTIST / SITE
1	1	13	Who I Am [6TH week @ # 1]	Ben Fuller
2	2	5	First Things First	Consumed By Fire
3	3	22	New Creation	Mac Powell
4	4	16	Love Me Like I Am	for King & Country Ft. Jordin Sparks
5	5	19	Miracle Power	We The Kingdom
6	6	13	Then Christ Came	MercyMe
7	7	7	I See Grace	Micah Tyler
8	8	5	My Story Your Glory	Matthew West
9	9	3	For The Love Of God	Andrew Ripp
10	10	2	Gratitude	Brandon Lake

NO CHANGE – Every song from last week remains at its respective chart position for another week. That’s 10 non-movers. I promise there will be significant chart action next week. Maybe “First Things First” will be first ?

ABROAD – I was out of the country for this entire past week – on a 7-day Caribbean cruise visiting the ports-of-call of Amber Cove Dominican Republic, San Juan Puerto Rico, and St. Thomas U.S. Virgin Islands. You know I’ve always wondered if the K-LOVE app works abroad, and (at least) for the two U.S. ports – YES – it does. I briefly listened to K-LOVE via the app at both ports. I didn’t have Internet access (a cell phone signal) in the Dominican Republic or at sea, but I imagine that if I did – the K-LOVE app probably would have worked there too. I wonder if the K-LOVE app works worldwide ?

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.

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2023 – After a 1-week hiatus due to “My Top 22 Of 2022” chart last week – I am back with my 2ND new weekly chart of 2023 – and 1ST to be published online. 2023 will mark the 6TH anniversary of my chart since the restart / resurgence in February 2017. This is the 3RD era of my chart. The 1ST era was born in The United Kingdom in November 1985. The 2ND era started in October 1995 – 3 years after the 1ST era ended. I enjoy compiling my weekly chart. It continues a lifetime hobby that started when I was a kid growing up in Lanham Maryland – listening to Casey Kasem on “American Top 40” and following along via the pages of Billboard Magazine.

FIRST THINGS FIRST – Consumed By Fire are at # 2 this week – surging 4 notches from # 6 last week. 2 weeks ago it appeared to be stalled-out at # 10. It kind of got lost in the shuffle during the couple of weeks leading-up to Christmas when Christmas music consumed the radio airwaves. Once December 26TH hit – the surge was on for this truly remarkable hymn to our Lord + Savior Jesus Christ.

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.
