2022 – Happy New Year ! It’s been 4 years since I abandoned Facebook on New Year’s Eve of 2017, and just 2 weeks into 2018 I quietly resurrected this blog here on WordPress with Week 48 of “My Top 10 Hits”. I’ve posted 773 blog posts since the resurrection (including this one). I’m still having fun 4 times per week, so I shall continue on into 2022. I’m glad that you’re along for this journey.

MICAH – 1 of my Top 10 artists over the past 255 weeks is Micah Tyler. I’ve seen him in concert twice – both times in Tampa Florida opening for MercyMe. He sings for his Lord & Savior Jesus Christ. His inspirational and anthemic “Walking Free” enters my chart as the first new debut of 2022, and it’s his 5TH hit in 5 years.

This blog is # 34 worldwide on the Top 80 Christian Music Blogs and Websites chart. Thank You for including us Feedspot !

This concludes another weekend of blog posts. I’ll do it again this upcoming weekend – with 4 new entries on Thursday, Friday, Sunday, and Monday. I don’t blog on Saturdays. That’s my day of rest.

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.

CHRISTMAS # 1 – Jordan St. Cyr’s “Weary Traveler” is my Christmas # 1, and it seems like the most appropriate song for a Christmas # 1 since this current era began in 2017. Our Lord & Savior Jesus Christ is born. He saves. Weary traveler – you won’t be weary long.

2021 – This is my final weekly chart of 2021. In a couple of days on my 5TH and final special Wednesday blog post I’ll present “My Top 21 Hits – 2021”. Spoiler Alert: 3 of my current Top 10 hits are on my Top 21 for the year.

This concludes another weekend of blog posts. I’ll do it again this upcoming weekend – with 5 new entries on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Sunday, and Monday. I don’t blog on Saturdays. That’s my day of rest.

My Top 10 Hits – Week 253

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 40+ years. Here’s this week’s chart:

COUNTUP MINISTRIES FOR THE WEEK ENDING SUNDAY DECEMBER 19TH 2021 WEEK 253

1 3 6 Weary Traveler
[1ST week @ # 1]

2019 – “Unstoppable God” – Sanctus Real
2018 – “Well Done” – The Afters
2017 – “Control (Somehow You Want Me)” – Tenth Avenue North

WEARY TRAVELER – Jordan St. Cyr’s 2ND hit is a # 1 smash just like his 1ST hit. “Weary Traveler” was an unlikely pop hit on my chart at the onset. It was released to U.S. Christian Radio back during the 2ND week of September, and K-LOVE picked-up on it a couple of weeks later. I didn’t like it / appreciate it at first, but it eventually grew on me. It quietly entered my chart at # 10, as my 18-day road-trip between South Florida and North Texas was getting underway last month. It became the anthem of my road-trip. Its powerful lyrics were appropriate for my journey, but they are also very relevant for the troubled world that we live in today.

Check out Jordan in his own words with the story behind the song:

Come to Me – all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you. Let Me teach you – because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy to bear, and the burden I give you is light.” (Matthew 11:28-30 NLT)

2021 – Next Monday I’ll present my final weekly chart of 2021. On Wednesday December 29TH 2021 I’ll present “My Top 20 Hits – 2021”. Who’s got my # 1 smash of the entire year ? We shall soon find out.

This blog is # 33 worldwide on the Top 80 Christian Music Blogs and Websites in 2021 chart. Thank You for including us Feedspot !

This concludes another weekend of blog posts. I’ll do it again this upcoming weekend – with 5 new entries on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Sunday, and Monday. I don’t blog on Saturdays. That’s my day of rest.

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 40+ years. Here’s this week’s chart:

COUNTUP MINISTRIES FOR THE WEEK ENDING SUNDAY DECEMBER 12TH 2021 WEEK 252

2019 – “Dead Man Walking” – Jeremy Camp
2018 – “Even Then” – Micah Tyler
2017 – “Control (Somehow You Want Me)” – Tenth Avenue North

HEART OF THE FATHER – There’s no change in my Top 3 this week from last week, as MercyMe, Crowder, and Jordan St. Cyr hold firm at their respective chart positions. But there could be a big change with that next week, as I have 2 big movers into my Top 5 this week. Debut artist / Worship Pastor / singer-songwriter Ryan Ellis is up 5 big notches to # 4 this week. I love hearing his song on the radio. I love humming it after hearing it. I love singing its lyrics over and over again:

♫ Jesus – Your name is power
It’s breath, and living water
And Your Spirit guides me
To the heart of the Father
Let Your praise ring louder
Every day and every hour
‘Cause Your Spirit guides me
To the heart of the Father ♫

Check-out the official music video for #HeartOfTheFather by #RyanEllis

2021 – There are just 2 weekly charts remaining in 2021. On Wednesday December 29TH 2021 I’ll present “My Top 20 Hits – 2021”. Will any of my current Top 10 hits be on my end-of-year chart ? #Yes
