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.

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.

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. But this week it’s a special – My Top 22 Hits of 2022:

# 1 For The Year In:
2021 – “Fires” – Jordan St. Cyr
2020 – “Almost Home” – MercyMe
2019 – “Nobody (But Jesus)” – Casting Crowns Ft. Matthew West
2018 – “Do It Again” – Elevation Worship
2017 – “Broken Things” – Matthew West

BRANDON HEATH – His 2ND single on my chart (and 1ST since 2017) finished as my longest-running hit of 2022 – and my # 1 smash overall. It entered my chart early in the year – on my 5TH chart of 2022 at the end of January. It stayed on through the end of July – peaking at # 1 for 2 weeks right in the middle of its chart life in April.

JORDAN ST. CYR – His “Weary Traveler” was my # 8 hit of 2022. He had my # 1 smash overall of 2021 – “Fires”. Both songs are from his self-titled album. Jordan is 1 of 5 artists who were also on My Top 21 Of 2021 chart a year ago to include Matthew West, We The Kingdom, Jeremy Camp, and We Are Messengers. In fact – We Are Messengers were on both end-of-year charts with the same song – “Come What May”. It was # 20 overall in 2021 and # 18 overall in 2022.

MATTHEW WEST – My # 1 artist of the past 306 weeks with 8 songs and 145 weeks on my chart – Matthew West – makes it 6 years in a row on my year-end chart. This year he did it with “Me On Your Mind”. I preached a sermon to my church family yesterday that was based on his 2020 hit – “The God Who Stays”. That was my # 7 hit overall of 2020.

CONCLUSION – My Top 22 Of 2022 chart was compiled by awarding 10 points for each week at # 1, 9 points for # 2, and so forth and so on down to 1 point for # 10. The points were then added, and the hits were ranked. 56 songs charted in 2022. There were 15 # 1 hits, and they all made it onto my chart above. It was a great year for positive and encouraging music on the radio that told the story of God and gave Him all of the glory. What a great chart to represent His music. Let’s continue to praise and worship Him as we go forth into 2023.

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 December 18TH 2022 – the 305TH week of this current era that began on Presidents’ Day Weekend of 2017:

TW	LW	WKS	SONG TITLE	ARTIST / SITE
1	1	9	Who I Am [2ND week @ # 1]	Ben Fuller
2	3	12	Love Me Like I Am	for King & Country Ft. Jordin Sparks

# 1 This Week In:
2021 – “Weary Traveler” – Jordan St. Cyr

2019 – “Dead Man Walking” – Jeremy Camp
2018 – “Well Done” – The Afters
2017 – “Control (Somehow You Want Me)” – Tenth Avenue North

UPS & DOWNS – On my penultimate chart of 2022 there are a lot little moves up and down – including for King & Country moving up to # 2 for just the 2ND time ever, and first time in 3 years – since “Burn The Ships”. Also – We The Kingdom’s “Miracle Power” – continues its amazing resurgence – up to # 3 this week after dropping to # 10 at the end of October following a previous peak at # 4.

FIRST THINGS FIRST – I love a debut artist – especially one who I’ve never heard of before. I started hearing this song on K-LOVE a couple of weeks ago, and I’ve liked it from the start – its melody and its lyrics. Consumed By Fire are the Ward Brothers – Caleb (age 29), Jordan (33), and Joshua (37). They grew up in northeastern Oklahoma in their parents’ church – eventually leading Praise & Worship. Now they’ve got their breakthrough single on the radio from coast to coast.

This concludes another weekend of blog posts. I’ll do it again with the new weekend – and 4 new entries – known as #TravelThursday, a special Christmas edition of #RetroFriday, #SundayScripture, and the final #Top10Monday of 2022.

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.
