Other appearances include a performance on the network’s weekly series “The Kitchen Sink,” and Fireflight will rock its own Front Row Live instalment of GMC’s nightly concert series airing early summer.

Also amplifying Fireflight’s profile this week is the Billboard magazine feature story titled “Big Breaks for Fireflight” on stands now (March 29th issue). The album debuted at No. 10 on Billboard’s Heatseekers chart and No. 15 on Top Christian Albums, while the title track, which initially debuted in promos for NBC’s “Bionic Woman”, is No. 23 this week on Billboard’s Hot Christian Songs chart. The hit also jumps up to No. 5 this week on R&R’s CHR chart.
