Workin' In the Final Hour is the second release and first national debut album by Christian singer - songwriter Wayne Watson . It was released in 1980 on Milk & Honey Records, distributed by Benson Music. The album was produced by Greg Nelson. The track "Touch of the Master's Hand" became an early hit for Watson and a signature song. The song was originally recorded in 1979 by Christian singer and future Imperials member Paul Smith . Watson re-recorded an updated version of "Touch of the Master's Hand" for his 1992 compilation album How Time Flies . The opening track "One Day," featuring vocalist Donna McElroy, who also provided backing vocals on the album, gave Watson his first Top 10 Christian radio hit peaking at number 9.

Genuine is the debut studio album by American singer and songwriter Stacie Orrico . It was released by ForeFront Records on August 29, 2000. Orrico worked with Michael W. Smith , Mark Heimermann, Tedd T. and Michael-Anthony Taylor on the album and co-wrote two tracks and wrote the final track "Dear Friend" by herself. Genuine combines a balance of teen pop and R&B with inspirations of Destiny's Child and Christina Aguilera, rather than the sweetness (or lack there of) of Britney Spears. Orrico deals with tricky lyrical issues (insecurity, peer pressure, anorexia) while musically sustaining mainstream crossover appeal. The lead single "Don't Look At Me" was an out-of-the-box hit on Christian radio, particularly on Christian CHR, where it gave Orrico her first number one hit on The CCM Update 's Christian CHR chart for seven weeks and was named the number one song of 2000 on that format. The title track and "With a Little Faith" were number one hits in early 2001 on CHR and AC, respectively. The track "Everything" was being worked on mainstream pop radio at the time. Music videos were made for "Everything" and "Genuine." Songwriters on the album include producers Tedd T., Heimermann and Taylor, plus Bob Farrell, Eddie DeGarmo and Out of Eden's Lisa Kimmey among others. Genuine debuted and peaked at number 103 on the Billboard 200 Albums chart setting a record in first-week sales for a Christian female debut, selling 13,000 copies. It also reached number six on the Billboard Top Christian Albums chart. By March 2001, Genuine sold more than 200,000 units in its first six months of release. That same year, Orrico earned her first three Dove Award nominations for New Artist of the Year and "Don't Look At Me" was nominated for Song of the Year and Pop/Contemporary Recorded Song of the Year, for which she co-wrote with producer Heimermann.

Newsboys (sometimes stylized as newsboys ) are a Christian rock band founded in 1985 in Mooloolaba , Queensland, Australia, by Peter Furler and George Perdikis. Now based in Nashville , Tennessee, the band has released 20 studio albums, 6 of which have been certified gold. As of 2025, the band consists of lead vocalist and bassist Adam Agee (formerly of Stellar Kart  and Audio Adrenaline ) , drummer and percussionist Duncan Phillips, keyboardist Jeff Frankenstein and electric guitarist Jody Davis. Furler and Perdikis got their start by practicing a garage on Australia's Sunshine Coast, well known for being a "surfer's paradise." Two other teens were added soon after: Furler's best friend, John James, and bassist Sean Taylor. The band's original name was The News but they changed to Newsboys to prevent confusion with US-based band Huey Lewis and the News . Newsboys came to the United States in late 1987 after getting signed with Refuge Communications and released the album Read All About It in 1988 in the United States. After signing with Star Song Communications, they released two more albums in 1990 and 1991: Hell Is for Wimps and Boys Will Be Boyz . None of the band's first three albums garnered much attention and the band's line-up changed with every release. It wasn't until their 1992 album, Not Ashamed (containing a cover of the DeGarmo & Key song "Boycott Hell"), that the band gained notice in the Christian music scene. Newsboys began a partnership with American singer - songwriter and producer Steve Taylor and starting with Not Ashamed, Taylor became the band's producer with him and Furler as the primary songwriters. Furler also shared lead vocal duties with James until James' departure. In 1994 amid the continued line-up changes (which included the addition of mainstays Jody Davis and Duncan Phillips), the band released Going Public , their fifth album and first real success. The record proved to be a watershed for the group, winning a 1995 Dove Award for Rock Album of the Year. It also produced four No. 1 hits: "Spirit Thing," "Real Good Thing," "Truth and Consequences" and, most notably, " Shine. " "Shine" won the 1995 Dove for Rock Recorded Song of the Year. In 2006, CCM Magazine listed "Shine" in the Top 10 in its ranking of The 100 Greatest Songs in Christian Music . The 1996 follow-up album Take Me to Your Leader was recorded with an expanded line up with new additions bassist Phil Joel and keyboardist Jeff Frankenstein. The album produced three more pop No. 1 hits: "Reality," "Let It Go" and the title track, two rock No. 1 hits: "Cup O' Tea" and "Breathe," as well as fan favorite and concert staple "Breakfast." This album also won a Dove Award for Recorded Music Packaging of the Year and it spawned the Newsboys' first movie, Down Under the Big Top (1996), which was based on the song "Reality." In late 1997 just after completing the Take Me To Your Leader Tour, lead singer John James announced he would be leaving the band to start a preaching ministry. In 2007 he revealed the actual reason was due to a drug and alcohol addiction. With his departure, Furler moved from drums to vocals and auditions were held for the now-vacant drum position. Eventually, Duncan Phillips, who had previously played keyboards and percussion for the band moved over to the drum kit. From 1998 to 2003, the band's line-up of Furler, bassist Phil Joel, guitarist Jody Davis, keyboardist Jeff Frankenstein and Phillips stayed constant and in 1997 Newsboys hit the studio to record Step Up The Microphone . The first post-James record, Step Up to the Microphone , sold well and produced more No. 1 hits: "Entertaining Angels," "WooHoo," "Believe" and the title track. It also spawned the Newsboys' live video, Live One Night In Pennsylvania and a year later. "Entertaining Angels" won the 1999 Dove Award for Short Form Music Video of the Year" and in late 1998 they went into the studio to record Love Liberty Disco . The band returned in 1999 with Love Liberty Disco , the band's only album to significantly deviate from their pop rock sound. Instead, this particular album featured more of a disco sound. Still, it produced several hits, including the No. 1 hits "Beautiful Sound" and "Good Stuff" as well as the title track. The LLD tour was significantly more popular than the album. This tour featured an inflatable arena, called the Air Dome. That same year, Furler co-founded Inpop Records with Wes Campbell as an independent contemporary Christian music record label. Newsboys were on the move in the 2000s, which included a headlining tour called Festival Con Dios with two other CCM acts: The O.C. Supertones and Audio Adrenaline and also released their first greatest hits album Shine: The Hits in 2000. The band returned in 2002 with Thrive featuring their No. 1 praise and worship driven "It Is You" and another No. 1 hit "Million Pieces (Kissing Your Cares Goodbye)." Newsboys recorded the song "In the Belly of the Whale" for the closing credits of the 2002 film Jonah: A VeggieTales Movie . Newsboys released two worship themed albums Adoration: The Worship Album in 2003 and Devotion in 2004. Jody Davis left the band temporarily and was replaced by Bryan Olesen on guitar. Their next release GO was released in 2006 and is the only album to feature British-Australian singer Paul Colman and the last album with Phil Joel as a member until 2019's United . Their second greatest hits album The Greatest Hits was released in 2007. That same year, the band's co-founder George Perdikis renounced Christianity and declared himself an atheist. He had not been involved with the band for seventeen years, nor was he in any way involved with their commercially and critically successful singles or albums. In 2009, Colman left the band to return to his solo projects and saw the return of Jody Davis after a five-year hiatus. Fuler announced that after more than a decade as lead singer of Newsboys, he will take a step back in a supporting role and would continue as the band's songwriter and producer. Because of this, a replacement lead vocalist was required so that the band could continue touring. On March 9, 2009, it was announced that Michael Tait , formerly of DC Talk , would be the new lead singer. Before that, Newsboys released In the Hands of God on InPop Records with Max Hsu of Superchick producing. Long-time collaborator Steve Taylor co-wrote all the songs and sang on one song. During their concert on September 11, 2009 in Orlando, Florida, Furler announced that this would be his final guest appearance with the band. Newsboys released Born Again on July 13, 2010 featuring Tait as the new lead singer. The album debuted and peaked at number 4 on the Billboard 200 Albums chart, their highest charting album to date. More than a year later, they released God's Not Dead , in 2013, Restart and in 2014, Hallelujah for the Cross . Love Riot was released in 2016 and a tour followed. The band also appeared in the 2016 Christian film God's Not Dead 2 . The next album, United , featured the return of Peter Furler and Phil Joel, and both participated on the tour with current lead singer Tait. Newsboys released Stand in 2021. In 2023, Agee joined Newsboys as a fifth member and, in March, released a new digital single "He Lives" featuring Agee. In 2024, Newsboys released a two-part album titled Worldwide Revival . Worldwide Revival Part 1 was released on July 19. Its first single, "How Many Times" and its music video were released the same day as well. On January 16, 2025, Tait released a statement on social media saying he will be stepping down as lead singer of Newsboys, after more than 15 years. On March 14, 2025 , the band released their first single with Agee as the new lead vocalist, a new recording of the Worldwide Revival track "How Many Times (Oh How You Love Me)." This song and "Christ and Christ Crucified" are the new recordings, along with four brand news songs that appear on a deluxe edition of Worldwide Revival , which was released in late May 2025. In June 2025, it was reported that Tait was alleged to have engaged in non-consensual sexual activity with three different men in 2004, 2010, and 2014. The remaining members of the band issued a statement saying that while Tait had confessed to "living a double life" as a reason for leaving the band, they were unaware of the allegations made against him prior to the reports. Furthermore, they expressed support to the victims involved and encouraged others to come forth. Later on, the band confessed that they heard rumors of Tait's behavior, which he denied when initially confronted about it. Following this development, several Christian radio stations removed the band's music (as well as Tait's former band DC Talk) from rotation, with the band being held responsible for perceived complicity in Tait's actions. On June 10, 2025 Tait released a public statement to social media admitting to the allegations, apologizing to the victims, the band, and everyone else affected by his actions. He stated furthermore that one reason for his abrupt departure was to seek treatment and counseling and vowed to continue pursuing repentance and spiritual healing away from the stage. On June 22, 2025, Newsboys were dropped from their label Capitol Christian Music Group, due to Tait's allegations and industry backlash. The band was also dropped from several Christian music festivals.

God's Not Dead is the 15th studio album by the Australian - American Christian rock band Newsboys , released on November 15, 2011 by Inpop Records. The album was produced by Seth Mosley. For their second album featuring lead vocals by Michael Tait, God's Not Dead is a contemporary worship album, pretty much in the vain of their previous Peter Furler-lead worship albums Adoration and Devotion , but taking it to a newer level in sound. It contains three new original songs like "The King is Coming" and nine new worship covers like the title song, "God's Not Dead (Like a Lion)," "Forever Reign" and "Revelation Song" to name a few. "God's Not Dead (Like a Lion)" was released as the lead single and music video and features co-lead vocals by fellow DC Talk member Kevin Max (Max does not appear in the video).

It started charting in early January 2012 and by June 2, 2012, it peaked at number 2 behind Building 429's "Where I Belong" on both Billboard 's Hot Christian Songs and Christian Airplay charts. It did peak at the top of their Christian AC Airplay chart for a week. Two years later in 2014 thanks to its exposure of the Christian film of the same name, the song peaked at number 23 on the Billboard Heatseekers Songs chart. That same year, the single reached Gold certification in June 2014 and then by May 2015, it became the band's first Platinum single selling over a million downloads. In 2021, it went Double Platinum selling over two million downloads. As of 2025, it is Newsboys' most streamed song to date on Spotify with close to 127 million streams. God's Not Dead debuted at number 12 on the Billboard Top Christian Albums chart dated December 10, 2011, then by August 11, 2012, it reached number one where it stayed for a week.

Worthy Is the Lamb is an audio/visual extended play by Christian singer - songwriter Michael W. Smith , released digitally on March 15, 2024 by Rocketown Records/The Fuel Music. Smith produced the EP himself. Worthy Is the Lamb 's first four tracks were captured live with the Nashville Recording Orchestra and a choir at the Fisher Center at Belmont University.
