Casting Crowns has done it again. Their new single, "East to West"from the album "The Altar and The Door", hit number one for this week on R&R's Christian AC Monitored, Indicator and INSP charts, Billboard's Hot Christian Songs and CRW's AC chart. This is their seventh consecutive #1 song.
That they are top in the Christian charts really comes as no surprise, but what's really great is that their album "The Altar and The Door" was released as the highest-debut album in the nation last week. The Billboard 200 reported them as debuting at number 2 with 129,000 scans. Why the hubbub? That's a new record for a Christian artist's album where there was no promotion in the mainstream market. The rank was driven by purchases made by Christian music fans. (you and me!) Who was number one? High School Musical 2 Soundtrack.
The group is made up of dedicated Christian servants who plan their tour dates around their church duties, and in the last four years they've won a GRAMMY Award, two American Music Award nods and multiple Gospel Music Dove Awards, including "Group Of The Year" for the last three years.
So go check out the album, the song and be inspired to walk in the fire!
