Here’s this week’s chart – for the week ending Sunday September 28TH 2025 – the 450TH week of this current era that began on Presidents’ Day Weekend of 2017:

2019 – “Nobody (But Jesus)” – Casting Crowns Ft. Matthew West
2018 – “Only Jesus” – Casting Crowns
2017 – “Broken Things” – Matthew West

JOSIAH QUEEN – His 3RD hit on my chart is now his 3RD Top 5 hit, as “Can’t Steal My Joy” continues its slow ascent. You may think that it’s a quick breakout smash for Josiah and Brandon Lake, but the song has been around all year. It was actually released as a single way back during the early part of January, and some Christian CHR (contemporary hit radio) stations have actually been playing it ever since the start. It’s currently # 2 nationally, and it’ll likely reach # 1 next week. And there’s a possibility that it could reach the top of my chart either next week or soon after.

ONE-HIT WONDER7eventh Time Down from Mount Vernon Kentucky have been rockin’ together for Christ for 21 years. You may know them for “Just Say Jesus” in 2013, or perhaps “God Is On The Move” from 2015 into 2016. But it was a late-2017 / early-2018 hit that reached # 2 on my chart for 4 weeks in a row and spent 16 weeks overall. That was “Only King Forever”, and it was the first and only time that they appeared on my chart.

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.

It’s the continuation of a weekly hobby that goes back almost 50 years.

ANDREW RIPP – His “Breakdown” becomes the first song to spend more than 3 weeks at # 1 since Steven Curtis Chapman did it with “Do It Again” in December and January. (That song spent 7 weeks at # 1.)

ONE-HIT WONDER – Time for a correction. Tiffany Arbuckle Lee – AKA Plumb – is not a one-hit wonder. Last week I claimed that her late-2017 hit “God Help Me” was the first and only time she appeared on my chart. Wrong. It was exactly 19 years ago next weekend that Plumb entered my chart at # 25 with an EDM version of her original Christian pop song “Cut”. The Bronleewe & Bose Radio Edit was actually a smash hit on the secular dance charts as well as in dance clubs nationwide. So Plumb secured two hits on my chart 11 years apart in 2006 and 2017.

NEXT WEEK – My 450TH chart (since the reboot of February 2017) will be published next Monday, but slightly later than normal. It should appear online by 3 PM U.S. East Coast time (7 PM UTC).

CROWDER – His 11TH hit since 2017 – “Still” – climbs 2 notches this week to # 8. It’s a song that seems to be growing on me with each new listen. It’s approaching the Top 10 nationally. Crowder sings that “He’s working on me – still. Changing me piece by piece – still. Making me better. Gonna do His thing.”

ONE-HIT WONDER – She’s Tiffany Arbuckle Lee, but we know her as Plumb. She spent 14 weeks on my chart from September to December 2017 with “God Help Me”. It was the title track of her EP at the time. Sadly that’s the first and only time she appeared on my chart.

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.
