Post date May 23, 2022

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 May 22ND 2022 – the 275TH week of this current era that began on Presidents’ Day Weekend of 2017:

TW	LW	WKS	SONG TITLE	ARTIST / SITE
1	1	11	Egypt [2ND week @ # 1]	Cory Asbury
2	4	15	Sunday Sermons	Anne Wilson
3	5	9	Fill My Cup	Andrew Ripp
4	3	17	See Me Through It	Brandon Heath
5	2	9	Wonder Working	All Creatures

2019 – “Alive” – Big Daddy Weave
2018 – “The Way (New Horizon)” – Pat Barrett
2017 – “Oh My Soul” – Casting Crowns

MATTHEW WEST – My favorite singer over the past 275 weeks is on my chart with his 7TH single – “Me On Your Mind”. It’s a non-album single that may be on Matthew’s next album. (His previous album – “Brand New” – yielded 3 hit singles – “The God Who Stays” (# 1), “Truth Be Told” (# 2 for 5 weeks), and “What If” (# 1).

K-LOVE FAN AWARDS – I’ve voted, and I’m ready for another fun awards show from my favorite radio station on my favorite cable network. It occurs during this Memorial Day Weekend in Nashville – hosted by Matthew West. You can watch the 2-hour broadcast the following weekend on TBN. It’ll air twice in a row at 8 PM and 10 PM EDT on Friday June 03RD 2022. 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.

SUMMER OF 2022 – Summer begins with next weekend’s chart, and it continues for the next 14 weeks after that. On Tuesday September 06TH I’ll present a special chart featuring my Top 10 hits of the Summer (from U.S. Memorial Day Weekend to U.S. Labor Day Weekend). Maybe my # 1 song of the Summer is on this week’s chart ?

This concludes another weekend of blog posts. I’ll do it again this upcoming weekend – with 5 new entries – known as #TravelThursday, #RetroFriday, #SundayScripture, a special #MemorialDay, and #Top10Monday on Tuesday May 31ST.

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 274

Post author By Chris M. Day
Post date May 16, 2022

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 May 15TH 2022 – the 274TH week of this current era that began on Presidents’ Day Weekend of 2017:

TW	LW	WKS	SONG TITLE	ARTIST / SITE
1	3	10	Egypt [1ST week @ # 1]	Cory Asbury
2	1	8	Wonder Working	All Creatures
3	2	16	See Me Through It	Brandon Heath
4	5	14	Sunday Sermons	Anne Wilson
5	4	8	Fill My Cup	Andrew Ripp
6	9	2	Honey In The Rock	Brooke Ligertwood Ft. Brandon Lake
7	10	2	Me On Your Mind	Matthew West
8	6	16	Brighter Days	Blessing Offor
9	–	1	For God Is With Us	for King + Country
10	8	9	Fake It	Tauren Wells

EGYPT – Cory Asbury’s 4TH hit on my chart is my new # 1 smash. It’s an unlikely # 1 smash in that it spent its first 5 weeks on my chart struggling between # 10 and # 9 due mostly to lack of radio airplay. By Week 6 it was starting to make its move up my chart. It’s actually been around for a while. It was unsuspectingly conceived in 2017 at a church service. It was released as a 6:22 LIVE single at the start of the COVID pandemic. During the Summer of 2021 it was released again as a single – this time as a shortened 3:20 studio version. That version soon began playing on the radio, and now some 9 months later it tops my chart. Although officially identified as a recurrent nowadays – it’s still a Top 20 radio hit nationwide.

SUNDAY SERMONS – It was a Saturday night surprise. Just as I was getting ready to shut everything down and go to bed this past Saturday night I got several text messages all at once from my Pastor and his family asking if I could preach the next morning. And so I did – for the 3RD Sunday in a row. I preached a continuation of my sermon from the previous Sunday – “People & Places”. It was an unrehearsed, unwritten, and spontaneous-from-the-heart message on recent people and places on my journey. Praise & Worship consisted of 3 music videos – “House Of The Lord” (Phil Wickham), “Magnify” (We Are Messengers), and “Sunday Sermons” (Anne Wilson).

This is usually the end of another weekend of blog posts, but not this weekend. I’ll have another one tomorrow – a special #BonusTuesday post. The next day – a new weekend begins with a special #BonusWednesday post.

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.

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 08TH 2022 – the 273RD week of this current era that began on Presidents’ Day Weekend of 2017:

2020 – “Almost Home” – MercyMe
2019 – “Alive” – Big Daddy Weave
2018 – “What A Friend” – Matt Maher
2017 – “Forgiven” – Crowder

EGYPT – Cory Asbury’s 4TH hit on my chart is this week’s fastest climber – ascending from # 6 to # 3. I featured its music video in last week’s edition, and I played it for my church body as part of Praise & Worship yesterday morning. After the video played I briefly talked about it.

BROOKE – Brooke Fraser (maiden name) / Brooke Ligertwood (married name) is no stranger to my chart. She’s been on twice before – as the lead singer of Hillsong Worship. “What A Beautiful Name” entered my chart way back on Week 4. The following year (2018) “Who You Say I Am” spent 4 weeks at # 1. “Honey In The Rock” is her first solo hit on my chart, and I love its sound !

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 #BonusTuesday post.

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.

Post date May 2, 2022

#TOP10MONDAY	WEEK ENDING – SUNDAY MAY 01ST 2022	WEEK 272

TW	LW	WKS	SONG TITLE	ARTIST / SITE
1	2	6	Wonder Working [1ST week @ # 1]	All Creatures
2	1	14	See Me Through It	Brandon Heath
3	3	6	Fill My Cup	Andrew Ripp
4	5	12	Sunday Sermons	Anne Wilson
5	4	14	Brighter Days	Blessing Offor

7	7	4	Desesperado	Evan Craft
8	8	7	Fake It	Tauren Wells
9	9	4	The Commission	Cain
10	10	3	The Healing	Blanca Ft. Dante Bowe

# 1 This Week In:
2021 – “Fires” – Jordan St. Cyr
2020 – “Almost Home” – MercyMe
2019 – “Alive” – Big Daddy Weave
2018 – “Freedom Hymn” – Austin French
2017 – “Even If” – MercyMe

ALL CREATURES – Chris Cron (lead-singer) and Ben Thompson (producer) are the duo known as All Creatures, and their “[wonder working]” is my new # 1 smash – and the 73RD # 1 smash of the current era (over the past 272 weeks). If you’re keeping track (who is ?) then that’s a new # 1 smash every 3.726 weeks. We’ll see if “[wonder working] exceeds that average over the next 3 weeks.

EGYPT – Cory Asbury’s 4TH hit on my chart could be his biggest. “Egypt” follows-up “Reckless Love” (# 8 in 2018), “The Father’s House” (# 2 in 2020), and “Sparrows” (# 4 in 2021). “Egypt” is about salvation. “You stepped into my Egypt”. You rescued me. You saved me. You set me free.

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.

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.
