On the heels of a major promotional tour in support of their sixth recording All That Is Within Me, multi-platinum and award-winning band MercyMe has once again hit the Billboard Top 200 SoundScan charts in a big way landing at No. 15, just below Jay-Z and above Beyoncé and Rascal Flatts latest, selling 83,626 units in its first week of release, 30% ahead of it’s previous recording, 2006’s Coming Up To Breathe. The album entered at No. 1 on Billboard’s Contemporary Christian SoundScan chart.

Live from New York City last week, MercyMe launched the new project with a Real Rhapsody session, SIRIUS radio interview, a performance at B.B. King’s and a live Satellite Media Tour (SMT) in the Reuters studio overlooking Times Square. The SMT hit several major markets and was picked up by several feeds, including the Associated Press, Reuters, ABC NewsOne, and CNN Pop Life.

Along with sales and some of the best reviews of their career, MercyMe’s first single for the project, God With Us, set the record for most AC adds (57) in a week, with almost 80 adds from reporting stations in the AC, CHR and Inspo formats. Currently the single is already Top 5 at Christian AC, Top 10 Inpso, New and Active CHR and moving up.

“We have felt quite a ground swell of support for MercyMe and their new project on every level,” remarked INO president Jeff Moseley. “Radio, media and retail have really come to the table to show their commitment to this band, and for that we are truly grateful.”

Leading up to and after their NYC stop the band made live in-store appearances and performances and visited radio and retail in Dallas, Minneapolis and Washington DC, while headlining the Friday evening event at the R&R Christian Radio Summit in Nashville.

In addition, the band stopped-by Christian AC radio stations nation-wide with on-air time and promotions with stations such as KTIS Minneapolis, K-LOVE morning show with Jon and Sherry Rivers, Total Axxess/WAY-FM in Nashville, KLTY in Dallas, an Associated Press Radio interview in D.C. and many others.

MercyMe will hit the road once again in support of “All That Is Within Me” when they headline the Winter Jam tour starting January 10th and will appear at Break Forth Canada 2008 in Edmonton the weekend of January 25th. For more information on the event, visit the YMZ Concert listings.
