My Top 10 Hits – Week 279

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 June 19TH 2022 – the 279TH week of this current era that began on Presidents’ Day Weekend of 2017:

TW LW WKS SONG TITLE ARTIST / SITE
1 1 19 Sunday Sermons
[4TH week @ # 1]
Anne Wilson
2 3 7 Me On Your Mind Matthew West
3 2 13 Fill My Cup Andrew Ripp
4 4 15 Egypt Cory Asbury
5 8 4 Love Is Everything We Need Unspoken
6 5 5 I Will Carry You Ellie Holcomb
7 6 21 See Me Through It Brandon Heath
8 7 21 Brighter Days Blessing Offor
9 1 Hold You Tight Dan Bremnes
10 1 Getting Started Jeremy Camp

# 1 This Week In:
2021 – “Yes He Can” – Cain
2020 – “I Will Fear No More” – The Afters
2019 – “Church (Take Me Back)” – Cochren & Co.
2018 – “Do It Again” – Elevation Worship
2017 – “Home” – Chris Tomlin

499TH # 1 – No new # 1 this week. Anne Wilson is still at the top with her “Sunday Sermons” that sounds so good on the radio. Am I the only one who uses both hands to mimic the pressing of the keys of the organ ?

DAN BREMNES – He’s back with his 3RD hit. It’s his follow-up to “Wherever I Go” (# 5 in 2018) and “Up Again” (# 4 in 2019). “Hold You Tight” was released as a single this past February. It’s on Dan’s new album – “Into The Wild” – which dropped at retail this past Friday. It’s an infectious pop track that was written during the peak of the pandemic. When the future was bleak. When we had no idea what to expect at the end of it all – our God was there to comfort us – to love us – in the middle of it. He was lighting up the dark. He was turning chaos into art.

The LORD is like a Father to His children – tender and compassionate to those who fear Him. (Psalm 103:13 NLT)

This concludes another weekend of blog posts. I’ll do it again this upcoming weekend – with 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 the 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 278

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 June 12TH 2022 – the 278TH week of this current era that began on Presidents’ Day Weekend of 2017:

TW LW WKS SONG TITLE ARTIST / SITE
1 1 18 Sunday Sermons
[3RD week @ # 1]

2 2 12 Fill My Cup Andrew Ripp
3 4 6 Me On Your Mind Matthew West
4 3 14 Egypt Cory Asbury
5 6 4 I Will Carry You Ellie Holcomb

# 1 This Week In:
2021 – “Help Is On The Way (Maybe Midnight)” – TobyMac
2020 – “I Will Fear No More” – The Afters
2019 – “Born Again” – Austin French
2018 – “The Way (New Horizon)” – Pat Barrett
2017 – “Live Like You’re Loved” – Hawk Nelson

499TH # 1 – Close observers of my blog and music chart may have noticed that “Sunday Sermons” is my 499TH # 1 smash ever (since my chart’s inception in 1985). So my 500TH # 1 smash is likely on my chart right now. It could be “Fill My Cup”, or “Me On Your Mind”, or maybe even “I Will Carry You”. We’ll find out next week, or the following week, or the week after that. #StayTuned

FORMER # 1s – Close observers of my blog and music chart may have also noticed that there have been some subtle updates recently to my # 1 HITS INDEX page. I’m currently updating the “Stateside Pop Era” which represents my 105 # 1 hits from the end of 1987 to nearly the end of 1992. I’m hoping to get that chart completed and uploaded in the weeks to come. #StayTuned

2 HITS TO BEAT – Both “See Me Through It” and “Brighter Days” spend their 20TH week each on my chart this week. They are back-to-back # 1 hits from March and April that entered my chart at # 9 and # 10 respectively at the end of January. Right now they are my Top 2 hits of 2022. They are two different styles of music, but they both point to our God Almighty as the Way – in the trial and the pain – fire and the rain – love will find you in your pain. #OurGodIsGreat

This would normally conclude another weekend of blog posts, but I’ve got another one tomorrow (Tuesday). Next weekend it’s back to normal – with 4 new entries – known as #TravelThursday#RetroFriday,  #SundayScripture, and #Top10Monday.

My Top 10 Hits – Week 277

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 June 05TH 2022 – the 277TH week of this current era that began on Presidents’ Day Weekend of 2017:

MATTHEW WEST – My # 1 artist over the past 277 weeks (by far) continues his ascent up my chart with the brilliant “Me On Your Mind” – which he performed on the K-LOVE Fan Awards. It looked and sounded great on TV. I consider “Me On Your Mind” to be a return-to-form for Matthew. It’s a typical Matthew West track – perfect to singalong to on the radio. His previous track – “What If” – was a quite-a-bit-unique sound for him, but it definitely worked, as it was his 4TH # 1 smash on my chart (out of 6 singles).

K-LOVE FAN AWARDS – What a spectacular show it was. I live-tweeted during the 8 PM EDT premiere broadcast on TBN. I actually started tweeting an hour earlier at 7 PM, as the #RedCarpet show aired on the TBN app. I tweeted 39 times during the 3 hours, and I received nearly 3,000 organic impressions. You can catch all of these tweets at my Twitter account @ChrisMDay. It was good to see fellow K-LOVE fans also live-tweeting the show. I plan to do it again next June, but before then I am happy to announce that I’ll be live-tweeting the 53RD Annual GMA Dove Awards as it airs on TBN on Friday October 21ST 2022 at 8 PM EDT.

This concludes another weekend of blog posts. I’ll do it again this upcoming weekend – with 5 new entries – known as #TravelThursday#RetroFriday#SundayScripture#Top10Monday, and a special Tuesday salute to our United States flag.

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 May 29TH 2022 – the 276TH week of this current era that began on Presidents’ Day Weekend of 2017:

ANNE WILSON – 20-year-old Anne Wilson makes history on my chart this week, as “Sunday Sermons” ascends to # 1 in its 16TH week. The track debuted during the 2ND week of February, and it got off to a slow start. Its first 10 weeks were below my Top 5. Anne Wilson becomes the first female solo artist to hit # 1 on my chart since right before my salvation started nearly 16 years ago. (The last female solo artist to do so – Christina Aguilera.)

K-LOVE FAN AWARDS – The 3-day fan awards weekend and all of the shows, events, and festivities that go along with it are now complete in Nashville, and it’s my dream to one year be a part of it all. I’m ready to see the 2-hour culmination – the fan awards that occurred on Sunday night. The 2-hour broadcast airs this Friday on TBN. It’ll air twice in a row at 8 PM with an encore at 10 PM EDT. During the 8 PM broadcast I’ll be live-tweeting at my Twitter account @ChrisMDay. I’ll use the hashtag #KLOVEFanAwards so that you can follow along via your favorite Twitter app. You can also follow along at the bottom of this blog, and just keep refreshing every minute or so to see the latest tweets.

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