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 March 26TH 2023 – the 319TH week of this current era that began on Presidents’ Day Weekend of 2017:

TW	LW	WKS	SONG TITLE	ARTIST / SITE
1	1	10	The Lord’s Prayer (It’s Yours) [5TH week @ # 1]	Matt Maher
2	2	17	I See Grace	Micah Tyler
3	3	6	Running Home	Cochren & Co.
4	4	15	My Story Your Glory	Matthew West
5	5	8	I Believe It (The Life Of Jesus)	Jon Reddick
6	7	4	This Is Our God	Phil Wickham
7	8	7	I’m So Blessed	Cain
8	6	15	First Things First	Consumed By Fire
9	9	5	That’s Enough	Brandon Heath
10	10	2	Believe	Blessing Offor

# 1 This Week In:
2022 – “Brighter Days” – Blessing Offor
2021 – “Say I Won’t” – MercyMe
2020 – “Almost Home” – MercyMe
2019 – “Confidence” – Sanctus Real
2018 – “No One Like Our God” – Lincoln Brewster
2017 – “I Have This Hope” – Tenth Avenue North

MICAH TYLER – Next week he will surpass TobyMac to become 1 of my Top 5 artists since this chart was resurrected 319 weeks ago. He’s at # 2 on my chart, and he’s at # 2 nationally with “I See Grace”. Nationally it should replace Brandon Lake’s “Gratitude” at # 1. I’m not sure if it will reach # 1 on my chart. I’ve got my eyes on Michael Cochren and his band.

DIVINE SOUND – I found a cool radio station on Amazon Music that I can play on my Echo Dots. It’s called Divine Sound, and its playlist of 50 current Christian pop songs is updated every Friday.

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.

Here’s this week’s chart – for the week ending Sunday March 19TH 2023 – the 318TH week of this current era that began on Presidents’ Day Weekend of 2017:

TW	LW	WKS	SONG TITLE	ARTIST / SITE
1	1	9	The Lord’s Prayer (It’s Yours) [4TH week @ # 1]	Matt Maher
2	2	16	I See Grace	Micah Tyler
3	4	5	Running Home	Cochren & Co.

2021 – “Say I Won’t” – MercyMe
2020 – “Almost Home” – MercyMe
2019 – “Confidence” – Sanctus Real
2018 – “No One Like Our God” – Lincoln Brewster
2017 – “I Have This Hope” – Tenth Avenue North

BLESSING OFFOR – He’s back with his 3RD hit overall (and 2ND solo hit). “Believe” is his follow-up to his # 1 debut smash “Brighter Days”. It was actually released late last year. It took a while to finally reach my chart, as the song and its lyrics are catching on with me.

THE JOY FM – K-LOVE is not available over the radio airwaves up in my new area of Florida (Highlands County). Driving towards the area – I lose the last of 3 signals broadcasting K-LOVE in South and Southwest Florida just south of Lake Placid – about 25 miles from my new neighborhood. That’s when I switch over to THE JOY FM to continue listening (and singing along) to my favorite hits on the radio. I also listen to it on my radio in my new home. Of course – I can still listen to K-LOVE online via their app on my iPhone and iPad, and as soon as I get an Amazon Echo Dot (already ordered) for my new home – I can simply ask Alexa to “play K-LOVE”.

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.

BRANDON HEATH – He’s my # 23 artist over the past 6 years, and he’s got his 3RD hit on my chart. Last year – “See Me Through It” was my # 1 smash for the entire year. His follow-up may not be that big, but it’s still a good song with good lyrics that share God’s Good News. It’s got a simple message. No matter what your situation is. You are here. You are loved. God is good. And that’s enough.

STEVEN CURTIS CHAPMAN – An incredible phenomenon occurs this week. Mr. Chapman scores his 50TH # 1 smash at U.S. Christian radio with “Don’t Lose Heart”. The man has been charting on the radio for almost as long as this chart has been in existence – since the mid-1980s. It was a slow climb to the top. It was originally released to radio last July, and it stalled-out along the way before picking up steam early this year. It’s a rare re-entry on my chart – having originally spent 8 weeks on it back in August and September and peaking at # 4. An amazing 23 weeks after falling off my chart – it’s back at # 9. This is actually a new version of the single with country musician Michael Tenpenny assisting.

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.
