Atlanta-based rock band Third Day kicks things up a notch as it claims a spot in the Top 5 on Radio & Records’ Christian AC chart. “Call My Name”, the first single from its upcoming Revelation (releasing on July 29th), slams into the Top 5 at Christian AC radio, after it had already become the highest-ever debut for a Third Day single on the chart.

The song is currently No. 7 on the Radio & Records’ CHR chart. According to Christian Radio Weekly, in just six weeks “Call My Name” has reached an incredible 19.6 million in cumulative listener impressions, making it the No. 1 Christian song in the country in terms of impressions alone. 19.6 million impressions ranks as equal to a No. 15 song at Top 40 radio or a No. 10 song at Country radio. In comparison, Flyleaf’s smash single “All Around Me” is sitting at No. 16 on Top 40 radio with fewer impressions. Third Day is receiving four million more impressions than Daughtry’s current No. 1 Hot AC song, “Feels Like Tonight”, and one million more than “Love Song”, the current No. 1 AC single by Sara Bareilles. “Call My Name” is also equal in impressions to a No. 11 on the Country chart, which, this week, is more impressions than Alan Jackson or Dierks Bentley’s current radio singles.

While it’s been almost three years since the release of the Third Day’s last studio album, fans have been rabid for new music from the band, leading to the massive success of this new single. They have a lot to look forward to as, together with superstar producer Howard Benson (Daughtry, Hoobastank, P.O.D. and Flyleaf), the band has boldly reshaped their sound for the next decade of its career.

After the July 29th release of Revelation, the band is hitting the road for a series of summer festival appearances and the highly anticipated Music Builds Tour featuring Third Day with Switchfoot, Robert Randolph & the Family Band and Jars of Clay.
