!Music Monday!

Hey guys, it is another Monday here at Way-Fm, and you know what that means...MUSIC!!! First off, there are major changes going on here at 100.9. Donna is going to be taking y'all on a Midday Cruz; Wally is moving to the afternoons from 3-8, and Jeff Connell is moving to nights. New times, same DJ's! Way-FM is also starting promotions on a new Concert Event. Rush of Fools and T Culler are coming to North Charleston's Northwood Baptist! Tickets can be found on itickets.com or by visiting our website at wayx.wayfm.com :0 Way will also be at Picnic with the Penguins tomorrow @ the South Carolina Aquarium from 6-8.

So that's Wat's Going On @ Way. Now, let's Chat about the Charts courtesy of Billboard.com! Two big changes to the Hot 100 Christian Songs! Phillips, Craig and Dean's Revelation Song is this week's Greatest Gainer moving from number 4 to number 2, pushing Tenth Avenue's By Your Side to number three! Jonny Diaz's More Beautiful You, a song not in the top 5 last week, takes the number 5 spot, and Chris Tomlin's I Will Rise moves up to number four! Matthew West's The Motions is once again number one! The Greatest Gainer on the Christian Album Charts this week is Tenth Avenue North's Over and Underneath, skyrocketing from number 7 to number 2. The rest of the top 5 has remained unphased. Mary Mary's The Sound is number one, and Mat Kearney's City of Black and White is number 3. The latest from WOW Hits and Hillsong United wrap up this weeks top albums.


Today's edition of Album Spotlight features the latest from Stryper, Murder By Pride. The guys of Stryper are not amateurs. They've been in the Christian music game since the 1980's. They are a heavy metal hair band. Their name is an acronym for Salvation Through Redemption Yielding Peace, Encouragement and Righteousness...pretty sweet! The name also comes from Isaiah 53:5. Their music is pretty heavy, so fans of Natalie Grant and Jeremy Camp might not find this album aesthetically pleasing...check out their cover art:

Stryper is going on tour this September with new bassist Tracy Ferrier playing the first half and all four original members playing on the second half. Should be one full of mosh pits and headbangers...for Christ...Super SWEET :) Their album Murder By Pride hits music stores tomorrow!


Mick Jagger, Cougars, and golf...must be Talk'n Tweets! Supposedly, according to Lauren Barlow's grandmother, she looks like Mick Jagger! @AgnewsDei seems to think otherwise saying, "wwhhhaaa?!?Mick Jagger is a MAN?!?" Agnews...that's a lot of w's, h's, & a's and Mick Jagger is a man...just sayin! It kept people looking so hard for the facts and for others it was a revelation.On the other side of the Barlow gene pool, Rebecca has had her fix of better days. She tweets, " Only noon and so far, the bus died and we're goin to the show bus-less and I just sliced the tip of my LH finger and superglued it together, awesome!" Maybe Rebecca can add some periods to slice up that run on sentence. And, if you guys are scratching your heads, LH is an abbrev of Left Hand...I suppose! Brandon Heath is playing FRIZ GOLF...don't worry, I have no idea what that is either...hitting the little furbie thingies from that Star Trek episode comes to mind :P Ending on a high note, Scott Sanders, Tenth Avenue's Bass Guitar player, was attacked by a COUGAR...


Just kidding, that's our wassup cat!!! On tomorrow's Topics and Tweets, we are asking y'all what you are reading for the summer and for your prayer requests! I leave you guys now with your favorite Friday radio segment "Club Awesome" in today's Press Play Replay:
