Also included is a demo of a song MercyMe was working on entitled "Then Christ Came." Millard co-wrote the track with David Leonard. The full version of "Then Christ Came," with additional lyrics by Phil Wickham and Jason Ingram, would be on their next release Always Only Jesus . The song was also released as a stand -alone track featuring the band and its co-writer Wickham. Inhale (Exhale) debuted and peaked at number 3 on the Top Christian Albums and at number 78 on the Billboard 200 Albums charts.

Underdog is the fifth studio album by the Christian modern rock band Audio Adrenaline , released on September 14, 1999 by ForeFront Records. Underdog 's sound is more of a combination of their two previous albums, Bloom and Some Kind of Zombie . Lyrically, Audio A's songs focus more on missions and the word of God being spread on tracks like "Hands and Feet" and "Jesus Movement." According to guitarist/songwriter Bob Herdman, the title of the album comes from the belief that Christians are usually seen as "underdogs" or "weak...but we're not. We're just the opposite. God's empowered us because we've become less for Him." The album includes two covers and a rerecording: the well-known hymn "It Is Well With My Soul" featuring vocal assistance by singer - songwriter Jennifer Knapp, a cover of Pete Townsend's 1980 hit "Let My Love Open the Door" (#9 Billboard Hot 100) and a new recording of "DC-10" (originally appeared on their self-titled debut album ). This new recording has more of a swing sound. Herdman sings lead vocals on the album's final track "The Houseplant Song." The lyrics were inspired by a story Herdman read on the Internet about the effects of music on plants. It features a number of pop culture references, including a line that says "the second one you play that Petra or that Megadeth," and the closing line which says "we listen to Audio Adrenaline, cranked to eleven," in reference to a line from the film This Is Spinal Tap . The band produced the majority of Underdog with eight songs with musician - songwriter Charlie Peacock and Todd Collins of The Gotee Brothers each producing two tracks. The album gave Audio A their first number one on the Billboard Top Christian Albums and debuted and peaked at number 76 on the Billboard 200 Albums. In 2000, the band won a Dove Award for Rock Recorded Song of the Year for the track "Get Down" at the 31st GMA Dove Awards and was nominated for a Grammy for Best Rock Gospel Album. A year later at the 32nd GMA Dove Awards, the title track was nominated for Rock Recorded Song of the Year. In December 2022, Underdog was reissued by ForeFront Records on vinyl for a limited time with only 500 copies pressed. It was only available thru donation to the Hands and Feet Project. In addition to the band, additional musicians were involved in the making of Underdog , including Peacock providing additional vocals and arrangements on the two produced tracks, "Good Life" and "Hands and Feet" plus Dan Spencer and Darren Mettler of the Christian ska band The O.C. Supertones provide horns on "Jesus Movement" among others musicians. Track listing 1. Mighty Good Leader (Audio Adrenaline) -3:15 2.

Some Kind of Zombie is the fourth studio album by the Christian modern rock band Audio Adrenaline , released on November 18, 1997 by ForeFront Records. This is the first album to feature new guitarist Tyler Burkum, replacing guitarist Barry Blair who left Audio A to focus more behind the scenes as a producer. Blair did contribute to co-writing and playing lead guitar on the title track. It is also the first to feature Ben Cissell as the official drummer. Some Kind of Zombie as an album concept and its title song is based on Scripture, specifically in Colossians 3, where it talks about "giving life over to God." The inspiration came from singer Mark Stuart's experience living with his missionary parents in Haiti, where voodoo is heavily practiced. According to Stuart, the message is that "you can be dead to your old self after becoming a new person through religion." The album was recorded at two studios in Tennessee: Ardent Recordings in Memphis and Shakin' Studios in Franklin. It was produced by John Hampton and follows the success of their previous album Bloom . Some Kind of Zombie 's sound is alternative rock with some grunge mixed in and has a heavier sound. It was preceded with the title song as the lead single released weeks in advance. It topped the Christian Rock chart. A remix version of the title song is only found on the CD version as a bonus track. "Blitz" features members of the Christian ska band The O.C. Supertones with lead singer Matt Morginsky providing guest vocals. A CHR remix version of "Chevette" is only found on the compilation album WOW 1999 . Some Kind of Zombie debuted and peaked at number 5 on the Top Christian Albums and at number 99 on the Billboard 200 Albums charts. In 1998, Audio A won a Dove Award for Modern Rock/Alternative Recorded Song of the Year for the title song. The following year, they were nominated for Rock Album of the Year and Modern Rock/Alternative Recorded Song of the Year for "Blitz." Some Kind of Zombie earned the band their second Grammy nomination for Best Rock Gospel Album in 1999. On April 18, 2025, ForeFront reissued and remastered Some Kind of Zombie  on vinyl as a limited edition through Girder Music featuring a zombie virus green picture LP, limited to just 300 copies.

Bloom is the third studio album by the Christian modern rock band Audio Adrenaline , released on February 8, 1996 by ForeFront Records. John Hampton, who is best known for producing albums for Gin Blossoms and The Replacements, produced, mixed and engineered a majority of the album with The Gotee Brothers (Toby McKeehan of DC Talk , Joey Elway and Todd Collins) producing only three tracks. Eddie DeGarmo and Dan R. Brock served as executive producers. Bloom was recorded in 1995 at three studios in Tennessee including Ardent Recordings, where DeGarmo & Key recorded all their albums. The album was well received by the audience and proved to be Audio A's breakthrough release. Leaving behind what the band calls their "cheerleader songs" from their first two albums, Audio A goes for a new sound with a combination of alternative rock and pop songwriting sensibilities. The band says the album's title and the music reflects the way they've matured and grown into a new phase of life. Seven tracks were released to Christian Rock and CHR radio formats with "Secret" and "I'm Not the King" both topping the Christian Rock chart. Audio A also covers The Edgar Winter Group's 1972 hit "Free Ride" (#14 Billboard Hot 100). Bloom peaked at number 2 on the Top Christian Albums and at number 77 on the Billboard 200 Albums charts. In 1997, Audio A earned their first Grammy nomination for Best Rock Gospel Album and was nominated for two Dove Awards for Rock Album of the Year and Rock Recorded Song of the Year for "I'm Not the King." The following year, "Free Ride" was nominated for Rock Recorded Song of the Year. The album cover was also nominated for Recorded Music Packaging. Bloom was Gold certified in 1999 by the RIAA (Recording Industry Association of America). It was Audio A's only Gold-certified album. In 2021, ForeFront reissued the album for the first time on vinyl on a clear picture LP with red and black splatter. Track listing All songs written by Audio Adrenaline, except where noted. 1.

Amy Lee Grant (born November 25, 1960) is an American singer, songwriter, and musician. She began in contemporary Christian music (CCM) before crossing over to pop music in the 1980s and 1990s. She has been referred to as "The Queen of Christian Pop". As of 2009 she had sold more than 30 million albums worldwide, won six Grammy Awards, 22 Gospel Music Association Dove Awards, and her album Age to Age was the first Christian album to go Platinum. She was honored with a star on Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2006 for her contributions to the entertainment industry and in 2022, she was a recipient of the Kennedy Center Honors. Grant made her debut as a teenager gaining fame in Christian music during the 1980s with such hits as "Father's Eyes," "El Shaddai" and "Angels." In the mid-1980s, she began broadening her audience and soon became one of the first CCM artists to cross over into mainstream pop on the heels of her successful albums Unguarded and Lead Me On . In 1986, she scored her first Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 song in a duet with Peter Cetera, "The Next Time I Fall." In 1991, she released the blockbuster album Heart in Motion which became her best-selling album to date, topping the Billboard Christian album chart for 32 weeks, selling five million copies in the U.S. and producing her second No. 1 pop single "Baby Baby" and produced another three top 10 on Billboard Hot 100; “That's What Love Is For," "Every Heartbeat" and "Good For Me." She is the author of several books, including a memoir, Mosaic: Pieces of My Life So Far , and a book based on the popular Christmas song "Breath of Heaven (Mary's Song)" that she co-wrote. In the spring of 2023, Grant released two stand-alone singles "Trees We'll Never See" and "What You Heard." Both songs were her first new recordings since her bicycle accident and after she was inducted into the Kennedy Center Honors in 2022. On January 6, 2026, Grant released a brand new track entitled "The 6th of January (Yasgur's Farm)," along with a visual lyric video. The song explores themes of hope, healing and unity by contrasting the idealistic spirit of Woodstock (Yasgur's Farm) with modern-day unrest, questioning if society has lost its way while encouraging finding common ground and personal agency in uncertain times. On February 20, 2026, Grant released a new single entitled "The Me That Remains" along with an album announcement. Her long-awaited new release also titled The Me That Remains, along with the album cover and track listings, will be be released on May 8, 2026. The album also includes "The 6th of January" as the opening track. It is Grant's first new non-holiday release in 13 years.

The Me That Remains is the upcoming 20th studio album by Christian singer - songwriter Amy Grant . It will be released by Amy Grant Productions with distribution by Thirty Tigers on May 8, 2026. Grant returns with her first new non-holiday album in over 13 years. Between her last release How Mercy Looks from Here   and this album, Grant has kept herself busy focusing on her reissues of older titles from her catalog and going on the road and touring with her band performing her hits. Grant has also released some non-album digital tracks including a cover of Jackie DeShannon's 1969 hit "Put a Little Love in Your Heart " in 2022 and two songs in 2023: "Trees We'll Never See" and "What You Heard." In her personal life, Grant had an open-heart surgery to repair partial anomalous pulmonary venous return (PAPVR), a congenital heart condition in June 2020. Two years later in July 2022, Grant was hospitalized in Nashville following a bicycle accident and, on doctors' advice, postponed several concert dates while she recovered. After her recovery, Grant became the recipient of the Kennedy Center Honors in December 2022. She is the first contemporary Christian artist to do so. The Me That Remains begins a new chapter in Grant's life. Produced by Mac McAnally, this very personal album is a journey through themes of healing, human and spiritual connection, unity and hope. The album features collaborations with guest artists Ruby Amanfu and Grant's husband Vince Gill, along with co-writing partners Jon Foreman (Switchfoot), Tom Douglas, Mike Reid, McAnally and more. The Me That Remains opens with the track "On the 6th of January (Yasgur's Farm)," which Grant released on January 6, 2026 to precede the album. The song explores themes of hope, healing and unity by contrasting the idealistic spirit of Woodstock (Yasgur's Farm) with modern-day unrest, questioning if society has lost its way while encouraging finding common ground and personal agency in uncertain times. The title song, which she released on February 20, 2026 along with the album announcement, is a reflection of Grant’s journey over the last few years, overcoming heart surgery and the bike accident that nearly took her life. Grant’s music always looks through a lens of hope and faith while probing the human condition with honest commentary, inviting a conversation. The album sounds and reads somewhat like a ‘life manual’ written from the perspective of an artist who has lived through it all, knows who she is as an artist and human, and as Grant has said, "I want to be present for whatever emerges in my time." The Me That Remains is on pre-order for both physical (CD and vinyl) and digital releases (download and streaming).

Welcome to the New is the ninth studio album by the Christian rock band MercyMe , released on April 8, 2014 by Fair Trade Services/Sony Music. The album was produced by David Garcia and Ben Glover. The album was recorded in 2013 around four studios in the Nashville, Tennessee area. Welcome to the New 's sound is more upbeat and danceable incorporating some jazz, pop rock, country, R&B and Irish folk. Their sound for this album was influence by the current independent garage rock duo The Black Keys. The title song "Welcome to the New" is an upbeat light pop song with elements of synth rock, and contains some jazz parts, which has the electric guitar guiding the song with other instruments of forceful drums and guitar riffs. In addition, it is a delectable track "with its bouncy, brassy, pop hook [that] will remind believers that Pharrell Williams' 'Happy' is okay but we can get happiness-plus with joy." The next three tracks have been referred to as "electro-fueled rock and worship numbers." "Gotta Let It Go" has a mixture of Smash Mouth and U2, the lead single "Shake" is an uptempo dance-esque song and the second single "Greater" is a combination of Irish folk, Americana and country. Highlights on Welcome to the New include their third single "Flawless" which is a piano-centered ballad accompanied by a music video featuring both band members sharing their personal struggles, and real-life fans with varying issues and "Dear Younger Me" is lead singer Bart Millard's life story told through song. Four singles were released to promote Welcome to the New . It was preceded by "Shake," which was released in the fall of 2013 and made the Top 10 on the Billboard Christian charts. The second single "Greater" was released a week after the album's release. The song peaked at # 2 on the Hot Christian Songs kept off the top spot by Hillsong United's worship hit "Oceans (Where Feet May Fail)." However, it hit the top spot on both the Christian Airplay and Christian AC Airplay charts. "Greater" also charted on the Heatseeker Songs and peaked at number 21 and peaked at number 14 on the Bubbling Under Hot 100. "Flawless" was the third single released a year after the success of "Greater." "Flawless" also peaked at # 2 on the Hot Christian Songs and topped on both airplay charts. The final single "Dear Younger Me" released in 2016 made the Top 5 on the Christian radio charts. Welcome to the New debuted and topped the Billboard Top Christian Albums and at number 4 on the Billboard 200 Albums chart. It is MercyMe's second highest charting album, after the # 3 peak of their 2010 release The Generous Mr. Lovewell . The album sold 26,000 copies in its first week. As of January 2015, the album has sold 178,000 copies. It was Gold certified in 2016 by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) for sales of 500,000 copies.

I Can Only Imagine - The Very Best of MercyMe  is the second official compilation album by the Christian rock band MercyMe , released on February 2, 2018 by Fair Trade Services/Sony Music. This second compilation collection contains 12 of their number 1 Christian radio hits with six of those tracks appearing previously on their 2009 compilation album 10 , plus their more recent hits "Greater," "Move," "Flawless," "The Hurt & The Healer," "Shake" and "Dear Younger Me." It did not contain songs from their 2017 release Lifer because their second single from the album "Grace Got You" featuring John Reuben was already on the Billboard Christian charts when this collection was released. In addition to their original 2001 signature hit "I Can Only Imagine," a movie session version of the same song was the only newly recorded track created especially for the 2018 motion picture, also titled I Can Only Imagine . The theatrical film was released in theaters about a month later after this compilation album was released and serves as a tie-in (You can read more about the song and its impact on the Almost There  article). The original "I Can Only Imagine" was re-released to Christian radio once again to promote the film and this time climbed to the top of the Billboard Hot Christian Songs chart for a three-week run. I Can Only Imagine  is the second MercyMe compilation album to top the Billboard  Top Christian Albums chart where it stayed for 19 weeks. Over on the Billboard  200 Albums, it peaked at number 23.

Overcomer is the fifth studio album by Christian singer Mandisa , released on August 27, 2013 by Sparrow Records. The album has achieved commercial charting successes, as well as critical acclaim by music critics. It was produced by Christopher Stevens and David Garcia on all tracks, except the track "At All Times," which was produced by Ronald Rawls and Chuck Butler. Bert Gangl of Jesusfreakhideout wrote that the release has an "infectiously positive vibe, rock-solid melodic content and contagiously enthusiastic delivery by a singer whose voice, on her worst day, could probably still shatter the average Waterford crystal centerpiece, any such word-related deficits become largely imperceptible and, truth be told, seem positively irrelevant in the grand scheme of a work this appealing." At CCM Magazine , Grace S. Aspinwall called this "an encouraging and hopeful project." Tony Coupe of Cross Rhythms felt that "The whole of this quality album comes across as autobiographical and if you are looking for an album to encourage, this will do nicely." At New Release Tuesday , Kevin Davis noted this release comes "loaded with positive grace-filled messages of hope from someone who has struggled with the pressures of life and understands that true happiness and empowerment only comes from her relationship with God," and stated that the music will cause people to "dance and sing along." The lead single and music video of the title song topped the Billboard Christian radio charts. The music video of "Overcomer" premiered on Good Morning America on September 5, 2013 and premiered on VEVO a week later on September 12, 2013. The music video featured appearances by Good Morning America anchor Robin Roberts, The Biggest Loser former contestant Hannah Curlee, Arizona Democratic Senator and former astronaut Mark Kelly and his wife Gabby Giffords and former Olympic figure skater Scott Hamilton. To date, it has over 55 million views on YouTube. "Overcomer" was certified Gold on November 13, 2014 and then Platinum on January 23, 2020. A deluxe edition of Overcomer contains remixed tracks of the title song and "Press On" and two new tracks: a cover of Lee Ann Womack's 2000 country pop hit "I Hope You Dance" and "Cradle Me (Patsy's Lullabye)." The album topped the Top Christian Albums chart and debuted and peaked at number 29 on the Billboard 200 Albums chart, making it her highest charting album on the latter. In 2014 at the 56th Grammy Awards, Mandisa won her first, and only, Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Christian Music Album. The title song won the Grammy for Best Contemporary Christian Music/Song given to its writers Christopher Stevens, David Garcia and Ben Glover. Mandisa, at the time, declined to attend the Grammy Awards because of her faith. At the 45th GMA Dove Awards, Mandisa was nominated for four Dove Awards including Artist of the Year and with "Overcomer" nominated for Song of the Year. Track listing on the Deluxe Edition 1.

The Hurt & The Healer is the eight studio album by the Christian rock band MercyMe , released on May 22, 2012 by Fair Trade Services/Sony Music. The album was produced by Brown Bannister and Dan Muckala. It is the first official MercyMe album released under the INO Records label renamed Fair Trade Services. It is also the first album without founder and keyboardist Jim Bryson. MercyMe remains a five-piece band with keyboard and programming work to be done by members of the band, producers and studio musicians in subsequent releases. Bryson, however, was involved in co-writing all the songs on the album with the band. The Hurt & The Healer is about the season that the band is currently in at the time of composing the music, particularly on the title track which was the lead single. "The Hurt & The Healer" come from the death of Bart Millard's cousin in the line of duty. The song is the trend setter for the rest of the record because it gives the album its essential theme and was written from the perspective of "telling people they're beautiful in the eyes of Christ." In addition, Millard said that they are "reminding people that their identity is in Christ...not their guilt or shame, that they're not a bad person trying to be good...they're redeemed, sanctified." Only two singles were released with the title song and "You Are I Am." The track "Take the Time" was co-written and features guest vocals by Bear Rinehart, lead singer of the Christian alternative rock band Needtobreathe. The Hurt & The Healer debuted at number 1 on the Billboard Top Christian Albums and at number 7 on the Billboard 200 Albums with sales of 33,000 copies in its first week. It is MercyMe's third highest charting album, after their # 3 peak of their 2010 album The Generous Mr. Lovewell and their # 4 peak of their next release Welcome to the New . On August 13, 2013, Millard and author Andrew Farley co-wrote and released a book, also titled The Hurt & The Healer , based on MercyMe's hit title song. Writing from the pain they've experienced in their lives, Millard and Farley reveal how their own struggles caused them to feel they had disappointed God. Through their biblical guidance, readers will see that God wants them to be open and honest about their pain. Only then can they discover how to exchange destructive thinking patterns for God's view of them and watch as God's perfect love casts away all their fears. The book was published by Baker Books.
