What stands out in the data

• A single clear No. 1: Dohnányi’s Variations on a Nursery Song (Var. 6) is the only track reaching 4 plays. 
• A nine-way tie for the rest: Positions 2–10 are all tied at 3 plays, indicating a very tight rotation. 
• Programming pattern: The top tier mixes short-form piano works and variations with orchestral spiritual settings, with heavy representation from a small number of albums (Childhood Tales, Muse, Fantasie, and Hailstork: Orchestral Music). 

In the DJHP “Gospel Music Jukebox,” repeat listening is clustering around a blend of late-1980s inspirational staples and Tramaine Hawkins’ enduring catalog—plus one contemporary entry tied to TV soundtrack exposure. Pulling directly from the file’s “Plays” field, seven recordings are tied for the #1 spot at 14 plays, with the remaining three close behind at 13. 

A striking through-line: 1986–1988 dominates the list, suggesting a core rotation rooted in the era’s polished, choir-forward, contemporary gospel sound. Hawkins appears repeatedly across studio work and larger-scale projects, reinforcing her long-running crossover between traditional gospel delivery and modern production contexts.

What this “chart” says about current listening

• A deep 1980s center of gravity: half the list comes from 1986–1988, pointing to a steady comfort-rotation of that era’s gospel-inspirational sound. 
• Tramaine Hawkins is the anchor artist: she appears on four of the ten entries (and features elsewhere), spanning classic repertoire, contemporary single release context, and large-ensemble projects. 
• One modern outlier with a media hook: “Goin’ Up Yonder” (2020 single tied to Greenleaf) sits level with the top cluster, suggesting repeat value driven by both song legacy and renewed visibility.
