! Music Monday !


Let's play a word association game...what do Monday's, jukeboxes, and radio's have in common...if you said music, give yourself a pat on the back! Welcome to another amazing installment of !Music Monday! brought to you by Intern Chris. Brought to you by our amazing radio station 100.9, some Way Logistics!!!! I've been pushing this Rush of Fools concert for a week, but we need you guys to come out and get some deals on these tickets. We are offering 12 tickets for the price of ten as well as super cool 25$ VIP passes that will bring you up close and personal with the guys of Rush of Fools! So send us a message on Facebook if you want to know more! We are also teaming up with Colleton County Chiropractic for the first annual Children's Health Festival. Children get in for free, and adult's pay 2$. All donations go to the Make-A-Wish foundation! The event is on August 22nd! Visit us @ wayx.wayfm.com for more info.

So, that's what's going on at Way; let's Chat about the Charts courtesy of billboard.com! On the Hot Christian Album Chart, we have two debuts shaking up last week's rankings. Constellations by August Burns Red is this week's Greatest Gainer, taking the top spot from pureNRG who have fallen off the top 40. STRYPER's Murder by Pride debuted at number 2, and Da T.R.U.T.H's The Big Picture debuted at number 4. Mary Mary's The Sound remains frozen at number 3 while Mat Kearney's City of Black and White rounds out the top 5. There is not as much fluctuation going on in the Hot Christian Songs Chart. Matthew West's The Motions has been dethroned by Phillips, Craig, and Dean's Revelation Song, falling to number 2. Jonny Diaz's More Beautiful You, Tenth Avenue North's By Your Side, and Brandon Heath's Wait and See wrap up the top 5 and this week's chart chatter :D


I will like to shed an Album Spotlight on this week's number 1 album, Constellations by August Burns Red. The album is the band's third studio album, and, according to fans of the band, it synthesizes the sounds from the band's proceeding records, Thrill Seeker and Messenger. Constellations is a metalcore album made by Christians...not necessarily a Christian record. Guitarist JB Brubaker stresses "Christianity is religion and not a style of music." The music definitely speaks to some Christian ideas, but the band wants the music to speak for itself, not market it solely to Christians and keep it in a box. August Burns Red will be discontinuing their US tour next week but will be continuing their metalcore tour in Austarlia! G'Day :P The album Contellations is in stores now!

Finally, we are Talk'n Tweets...so, what is making Lauren Barlow Tweet, "Oh...my...gosh...what is that thing?! Personally, I think it needs to be given a proper burial and fast." Well, this picture:


Lauren, I totally agree. But what about the beaver?...Jeff Owen from Tenth Avenue North has had a star sighting, tweeting, "Apparently Heraldo Rivera and Alfonzo something who played Carlton in the Fresh Prince are here in Nashville Airport right now...Scratch that. GERALDO IS ON OUR FLIGHT. If the plane goes down, at least it will be covered well." And if the plane goes down, at least the crash location would have already been written in sand, so we could find y'all...Wes and Dustin from Rush of Fools are "driving back home in our mobile home from Pennsylvania." Now, that's making it my friends. You have two home. A house and a house with four wheel, shweeet...Decemberadio tweets, "Ironic Memphis sign: Fire Pit Grill, closed due to fire...makes me wonder when it's ever open." Ummm, probably when it is not on fire???? Plus, there is no irony in that. Rain on your wedding day, now that's ironic...wrapping up our Tweet talk, Mat Kearney is , "Plaid." Hmmm, I guess that makes me striped... :P

Tomorrow, we are chatting about the audible voice of God, your tweets, and checking our
Facebook Flare Mail. As for now, for those going through the motions of Monday, here's Matthew West performing The Motions:
