Hola Way compadres, today's Music Monday is sponsored by the words, "Awesome Amazing!!!!!" So, let's get this thang rollin! Rush of Fools are coming to Northwood Baptist this September with T Culler.

You can find these tickets at Northwood Baptist, Way Studios, online at itickets.com or wayx.wayfm.com, or by calling (800) 965-9327! We are coming at you live from the first annual Children's Health Festival on August 22nd. Details can be found on our events page on our website. Lastly, if you are reading this from Facebook, I invite you to follow us on our actual blog at way-fmcharleston.blogspot.com for videos and exclusive audio from your favorite artists!

So those were some Way Logistics, let's Chat about the Charts courtesy of billboard.com. This week's Greatest Gainer has to be Mary Mary who reclaim the top spot from August Burns Red after falling to number 3 last week! Da T.R.U.T.H plummets out of the top ten; Constellations by August Burns Red falls to number two, and Mat Kearney's City of Black and White raises from number 5 to number 4. The latest from WOW Hits rounds up this week's TOP 5 Christian Albums. The Top 5 Christian Songs may give you a Deja Vu sensation, but they are just stuck in the same spots with Phillips, Craig, and Dean's Revelation Song holding on to the top position; Matthew West's The Motions, Jonny Diaz's More Beautiful You, and Tenth Avenue North's By Your Side filling in the middle, and Brandon Heath's Wait and See coming in at number five!

An album sure to crack the top five next week is Britt Nicole's The Lost Get Found, the subject of today's Album Spotlight. According to her website, the album is full of "high energy tracks, catchy hooks, and top 40 beats." In her own words, Britt says the album is "simply about being who we are called to be as Christians, and through that, seeing the lost get found." The album's first single of the same name has been blowing up radio, especially Way-FM! The album definitely promises to be a poppy record. The Lost Get Found hits stores tomorrow!


In honor of Britt Nicole, we are giving her the first tweet in Talk'n Tweets. She tweets, "Vbbbbbbbrbbrbnttngn f gn gg g. Gtg ng NGO." She later denies writing the tweet. From what I can decipher, gtg means got to go, and NGO is referencing that Bingo was his name-o. IDK...So, Scott Sanders of Tenth Avenue North is ascending mountains so he can howl with the wolves and wear Furr. First off, that's two Rs, making the fur legit primal fur. For some reason, I think Sanders is reading too much New Moon. Note to Sanders(SPOILER ALERT): the wolf doesn't get the girl in the end :P Mandisa is taking the time to tweet about amazing pieces of art, found in a bathroom?????


Mary Mary are asking Kirk Franklin where to get a pair of Hello Jesus Socks. My question: WHERE CAN I GET A PAIR :D Lastly, Toby Mac Tweets, "Some dude stumbled into the studio today and sang on my record...after I begged that is!!" Who is Toby Mac talking about???? Well, this guy:

Yup, my friends, that is Relient K's Matthew Thiessen! I can't wait to hear that track...Might I add a personal note to Twitter: please don't have anymore shut downs or crashes. I sat in my room wondering what Mondays would be without my tweets...glad they fixed it @_@

In general music news, Relient K announced on their website that the are going on tour with Copeland and Barcelona, two acts that I absolutely love. I have featured Copeland on my Playlist for the past two weeks. The show hits Charlotte October 9. Should be amazing...I found a sweet website with all things Christian video. It's like a Christian music Youtube. The website is www.tangle.com/music...on a serious note, two people had died and an 18 year old soon to be mother is in critical condition after their car and MercyMe's tour bus crashed into one another. The members of the band are fine and are asking for y'alls prayers. Bart Millard has tweeted he wishes it was all a dream. You can stay up to date on the tragedy by following Bart's Twitter at twitter.com/bartmillard or by going to stereotruth.net! My prayers go out to MercyMe...I leave you with their song God With Us:
