SRE Recordings rock band Disciple debuted at No. 1 this week on the Christian SoundScan charts, selling 4,905 their self-titled release. Disciple also grabbed the No. 9 spot on the combined Soundscan chart, and #8 on the Billboard Heatseekers chart.

In radio, the album's lead off single, "The Wait Is Over," remains at #1 for the third week in a row on R&R's Christian Rock radio chart.

General Manager of SRE Recordings, Steve Ford states, "I am very proud of Disciple. They are one of the hardest working bands around and that hard work has been rewarded with a solid fan base. They made an amazing record that both critics and fans alike have stated that this has been their best album ever. Their number one success at radio and retail is just the beginning for this band and I look forward to the wild ride the next few years will be."

This was echoed by the band's management Chance Hoag and Darren Tyler of Platform Management , "I am so happy for Disciple. The work ethic that the band displayed was a catalyst for the whole team. Label, PR, booking, and management really locked arms on this project. The band delivered the goods, and I think that we all felt the pressure to execute for them. It paid off."

Fans can hear Disciple playing songs from the new album at several of this year's summer festivals including Cornerstone, Creation East, and GenerationX.
