! Music Monday !


Coffee brewed...9AM Traffic...Way-FM morning meeting...must be Monday!!!!!! And, as always, we are bringing you the latest in Christian Music! But what would Press Play be without our Way-FM logistics...Tomorrow, we are hosting a Veggie Tales movie event for their latest release Minnesota Cuke and the Search for Noah's Umbrella @ 7pm @ Cathedral of Praise: The Loft! Get there early to register..seats are limited.

And that's what's going on @ Way, let's Chat about the Charts...and let me just tell you, I am pretty shocked :O First off, chart favorite Mary Mary has fallen to number 3 with The Sound, bumping Tenth Avenue North's Over and Underneath to number 4 and Matt Kearney's City of Black and White to number 5.The latest from August Burns Red ( Constellations) debuted at number 2! So, who took the top spot? A band called pureNRG??? Akin to acts like Hanson, Hannah Montanna, and The Wiggles, this bubblegum troop's mission is to spread the word of God to young adults...musically, they're work is sub par compared to the others on this week's chart, but, it just goes to show, America has an obsession with "Disney Bands" :P Over on the Christian Song charts, Matthew West's The Motions and Phillips, Craig and Dean's Revelation Song still hold the top spots! This week's Greatest Gainer is Jonny Diaz's More Beautiful You, rising from number 5 to number 3. Tenth Avenue North's By Your Side falls to number 4 while Brandon Heath's Wait and See cracks the top five rounding up the charts!

There seems to be a lack of new releases THIS week, so today's Album Spotlight is about an album coming out August 11 from Philips, Craig, and Dean. The album is called Fearless, and it marks Phillips, Craig, and Dean's tenth studio album. Branching from three different churches, the guys are back with a worship filled album that draws it's sound from contemporary acts like Natalie Grant and Casting Crowns. Even though they come from three separate churches, the men of Philips, Craig and Dean have heard similar stories of worry regarding health care, the economy and security risks. This album is way of delivering the universal message that God wants us to be fearless. Luke 12:25 says, "who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life." Randy Phillips wants to urge people to break out and live large, saying, "This is our opportunity to show our power is in God alone". The album Fearless comes out in two weeks!

When we put hunting, breakfast, and Superman in the same sentence...we must be Talk'n Tweets! On today's edition, the guys of December Radio are hunting @ black river in SC.I'm sure they found the trip rather satisfying...Barlow Girl never disappoints with their tweets. Last week, Lauren was Mick Jagger. This week, Rebecca is Clark Kent. Next week, Alyssa is slated to transform into Mickey Mouse as the group slowly becomes the Barlow Oddities...Conrad of Chris and Conrad fame was accidentally knocked off the interstate by "an old man!" It was later revealed to be this guy:

Rule of thumb: don't dance and drive...Dan from Sanctus Real is so stressed out; he is eating life cereal. The band is also so stressed out these days that they haven't had time to shave:




How did the Z Z Top pics get in here :P In exclusive news, Switchfoot is coming out with their new album Hello Hurricane this fall and have already hit the stage with some new songs. Good to see these guys back!
Tomorrow, I'm talking Fireproof, your favorite movies, and tweets as well as updating our prayer list. I shall leave you with the most awesomest club in the US...Club Awesome...in today's Press Play Replay:
