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 NOVEMBER 07TH 2021	WEEK 247

TW	LW	WKS	SONG TITLE	ARTIST / SITE
1	1	6	Promised Land [2ND week @ # 1]	TobyMac
2	3	2	On Our Way	MercyMe Ft. Sam Wesley
3	2	17	What If	Matthew West
4	6	5	Come What May	We Are Messengers
5	7	2	In The House	Crowder

7	5	4	My God Is Still The Same	Sanctus Real
8	8	11	Promises	Maverick City Music
9	9	2	Look What You’ve Done	Tasha Layton
10	10	2	Even At My Worst	Blanca

# 1 This Week In:
2020 – “No Hold On Me” – Matty Mullins
2019 – “Fear No More” – Building 429
2018 – “Only Jesus” – Casting Crowns
2017 – “Different” – Micah Tyler

NO NEW ENTRIES – After a whopping 4 new entries last week my chart takes a breather this week. But a couple of last week’s new entries make nice moves upward this week. MercyMe’s 6TH hit is now their 6TH Top 2 hit, as “On Our Way” ekes up a notch. Crowder follows-up his # 1 smash “God God Almighty” with his now Top 5 hit “In The House”.

You know I love a song that speaks of being born again:

♫ Bet you’ll wanna sing hallelujah. Bet you’ll say an amen.
Can’t help but celebrate being born again.
Somebody who loves you is waiting at the door.
It’s home sweet home here in the house of the Lord. ♫

This is the season finale of #Top10Monday. It will return in 4 weeks on Monday December 06TH 2021. My chart continues on offline, and I’ll soon compile my 250TH chart of this current era. To celebrate 250 weeks of positive and encouraging hits I’ll #CountUp my Top 25 hits of 250 weeks on a very special blog post and chart on Wednesday December 01ST 2021.

This blog is # 34 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 2 new entries on Thursday and Friday.

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.

2018 – “Only Jesus” – Casting Crowns

4 NEW ENTRIES – I typically average a single new entry per week, so whenever there are more than that it’s a special week of chart action. This week is spectacular with 4 new entries. MercyMe enter straight-in at # 3 with their 6TH hit – a song I got to dance to recently with my Tampa brothers and sisters in Christ LIVE in concert. “On Our Way” appears to be headed on its way to # 1. Also new this week is Crowder’s 7TH hit, Tasha Layton’s 2ND hit, and Blanca’s debut hit.

MATTHEW WEST – Yesterday on #SundayScripture I revealed that I saw him LIVE in concert in Southwest Florida this past Friday night. He opened for Casting Crowns; although, he is worthy of being a headlining act on his own with a catalog of nearly 20 years of hits. I’ve only known him as a singer for the past 245 weeks, but he’s done amazing over these past 4 years and 8 months. “What If” is his 6TH hit, and 4TH # 1 smash. (His other 2 hits peaked at # 2.) This is his 124TH week on my chart – and 19TH week at # 1. I got to sing and dance (at my floor seat) to “What If” as Matthew sang it LIVE as the 3RD hit of his set.

CHART BUSTING just outside of my Top 10 this week is the new one from MercyMe. It’s “On Our Way”, and it was intended for Sam Wesley, as he cowrote it. But his dad – Bart Millard – loved it so much that he wanted it to be a MercyMe song. So he let Sam sing on the song and receive credit (and compensation) for doing so. Now it’s a Christian Top 20 hit from coast to coast, and it feels so good with its uplifting sound. Sam performed it with his dad and the MercyMe band LIVE in concert, and our Tampa audience was dancing along.

1	1	14	What If [3RD week @ # 1]	Matthew West

# 1 This Week In:
2020 – “Rise Up (Lazarus)” – Cain
2019 – “Fear No More” – Building 429
2018 – “Only Jesus” – Casting Crowns
2017 – “The Gospel” – Ryan Stevenson

JEREMY’S 6TH – Jeremy Camp scores his 6TH hit on my chart since 2017, as “When You Speak” finally enters after a long delay. It’s been playing on the radio every day for the past 3 months, but (honesty alert here) – I didn’t really like it all that much. I thought it paled in comparison with his previous 3 long-lasting hits – “Dead Man Walking” (25 weeks on my chart), “Keep Me In The Moment” (20 weeks), and “Out Of My Hands” (18 weeks). The former 2 were # 1 hits, and the latter peaked at # 2 for 3 weeks. “When You Speak” likely won’t last that long or peak that high, but the fact that I like it enough now for it to debut at # 6 is impressive. We’ll see how it goes.

ON THE RADIO – With K-LOVE in seasonal pledge drive mode this past week I sampled more of WGTS out of the Washington D.C. area (sounds good), and I also added The Message on SiriusXM. They play more new music and fewer recurrents on The Message. (The new Sanctus Real song at # 7 is currently in heavy rotation on The Message.) This upcoming week I’ll be checking-out The Joy FM.
