Come Alive Takes Number 1 Spot This Week
Darin & Brooke Aldridge Take Over the Number 1 Spot as “Come Alive” Tops RadioMusicDJ Hot Top 100!
Amos Raber's “Alaska” Ends Impressive Four-Week Run at Number 1 as Billy Blue Records Claims the Top Three Positions
October 9, 2026 | Radio Music DJ
After an impressive four consecutive weeks at the top of the RadioMusicDJ Hot Top 100 Chart, independent recording artist Amos Raber's hit single “Alaska” has relinquished the coveted Number 1 position, making way for a new chart-topper!
This week, acclaimed Bluegrass and Gospel recording artists Darin & Brooke Aldridge take center stage as their latest Billy Blue Records release, “Come Alive,” takes the Number 1 position on the RadioMusicDJ Hot Top 100 Chart for the week ending October 9, 2026.
The husband-and-wife duo continues to demonstrate their popularity among radio programmers and listeners with their distinctive blend of Bluegrass, Country, and Gospel influences.
Their latest chart success follows an impressive run earlier this year with “It'll Be Worth It After All,” featuring Jason Crabb, which spent six consecutive weeks at Number 1 on the RadioMusicDJ chart. That recording remains on this week's chart at Number 27, giving the duo two songs among the Top 100.
Billy Blue Records Sweeps the Top Three!
It's an especially impressive week for Billy Blue Records, which claims all three of the chart's highest positions!
Joining Darin & Brooke Aldridge at Number 1 are Carson Peters & Iron Mountain, whose recording of “Hold On Heart” takes the Number 2 position, followed by Newfound Road at Number 3 with “Let's Hit The Highway.”
The label's strong showing underscores the continued popularity of Bluegrass music among RadioMusicDJ's participating radio stations.
Amos Raber's “Alaska” Completes an Outstanding Run
Although “Alaska” has moved from the top position, Amos Raber's four-week reign remains one of the notable chart achievements of the fall season.
Beginning September 11, 2026, the independent artist held the Number 1 position for four consecutive weeks, introducing his music to an expanding audience of radio listeners.
This week, “Alaska” lands at Number 10, keeping Raber firmly inside the Top 10.
Raber also maintains additional chart activity with “By Grace” at Number 23 and “Mansion Over The Hilltop,” featuring Jeff Easter, at Number 98.
His continued presence on the chart is another encouraging example of independent artists finding opportunities alongside established recording labels.
