BarlowGirl is rocking the charts with latest single "Never Alone" from the group's self-titled Fervent debut. The song hit No. 1 on Christian Radio & Retail Weekly's (CRW) Rock chart in early June and has continued to hold the position for a 15-week run, making it the longest No. 1 song on the chart for 2004.

"Never Alone" also has remained No. 1 on the Radio & Records (R&R) CHR chart for nine weeks, the longest No. 1 on this chart for the year, and at CRW's CHR chart for seven weeks.

Currently No. 10 on the Christian SoundScan chart, BarlowGirl has sold more than 81,000 units in little more than six months, making it the best-selling new artist release this year. The album is also among the top 20 albums in sales for all of 2004, according to SoundScan.

Last week, BarlowGirl hit the road on the group's In The Name of Love Tour with Todd Agnew, Building 429 and Starfield. The tour will hit 21 cities, running through the end of October.
