AMERICAN rock worship band MercyMe have a big US hit with their album 'Almost There' on INO/Word. The album's currently showing at 98 on Billboard's mainstream album chart. There is now a plan to release the band's most popular song, "I Can Only Imagine", as a single into the mainstream market. Said MercyMe's lead singer Bart Millard, "We're worship leaders who travel. Some Christian artists get a big record deal and kind of sell out. Six years of just paying our bills has kept us humble. I would like to represent the best music possible from a worship aspect. We've been ministering for so long that we'll be doing this no matter what type of success we have."
