Music Monday

Hello wonderful 100.9 Way-FM listeners and blog followers. On today's edition of Press Play we are recapping your 4th of Julys and checking in on whats happening in Christian music today. We asked you guys on Facebook to share your 4th of July plans and the popular hot spots this 4th were church, home, the beach, and the park. Our most inventive response comes from Alice Hambright who wrote "I will be indoors with my hands over my ears...trying to comfort two large dogs who share my opinion of gunshot noise!" Haven't we all been there with our pets. If you have any more interesting stories in regards to the 4th of July feel free to message us on Facebook or our blog! We'd also love to hear about how today's word on the way (Hebrews 11:1)has affected you.

In today's Twitter updates, not much is going on with your favorite artists. It seems as if their Tweets went on vacation during the holiday as well :P Matthew West has tweeted "Played With Kids in the yard, walked to town festival, burgers on the grill. Life is good!" In the same family oriented sense Matt Kearney tweets "I got to go home for 2 days. Nashville is a big wetness, but I love it. Happy late 4th...I love you." Celebrations are in order for tenth Avenue North Guitarist Jeff Owen who tweets,"Got a target gift card for my Birthday. Heather encouraged me to get a Transformer toy. I did." Just goes to show that growing old just gives you an excuse to stay young :o

Billboard.com has posted the charts for this week, and it appears that the Matts are on Top. Matthew West has taken the top spot in the Hottest Christian Songs in America with "The Motions." Finishing up the top five is Tenth Avenue North's "By Your Side" at number 2, "In the Hands of God" by the Newsboys at number 3, Chris Tomlin with "I Will Rise" at 4 and Brandon Heath at five with "Wait and See." On the Hottest Christian Albums chart, Matt Kearney comes in at number one with City of Black and White. Songstresses Mary Mary hold on to number two with The Sound. The last three positions are taken up by the latest from Newsboys, WOW Hits, and Hillsong United!

Wrapping up today's Music Monday, we leave you with some pictures posted by Brandon Heath on his Twitter! Feel Free to comment and God Bless!
