Released April 7 from INO Records/Provident-Integrity Distribution, adult contemporary Christian band MercyMe’s “best of” album 10, featuring the crossover hit “I Can Only Imagine,” has entered the mainstream and Christian top sellers charts.

Coming in at No. 18 on Billboard’s Top 200 chart, the album sold close to 30,000 units just in its first week. And also topped the Christian SoundScan chart at No. 1.

Currently the band is headlining The Rock & Worship Roadshow tour, which includes Christian music artists Jeremy Camp, Hawk Nelson, Tenth Avenue North and Addison Road. The MercyMe shows from the tour are available for viewing on the band’s Web site, MercyMeTV.
