Christmas has come early for Integrity Music’s NewSong who received a gift in the form of their 20th #1 radio hit this week as the group's single "Before The Day" from their live worship album "Rescue," tops R&R's Inspirational chart.

NewSong is finishing up its "Christmas Hope" tour with artists Todd Agnew and Rachel Lampa. The tour is in support of NewSong’s recently new critically-acclaimed seasonal release, "The Christmas Hope." That record is seeing strong radio airplay as well, with their classic “Christmas Shoes" again climbing mainstream AC charts. A fresh rendition of this song plus 12 other tracks including original music and sacred carols are offered on their "The Christmas Hope" now available in stores. The title track is also one of the most active new songs on the Christian AC charts, according to R&R.

After a brief break for the Christmas and New Years, NewSong goes back on the road to kick off their annual Winter Jam tour spectacular featuring Steven Curtis Chapman, Jeremy Camp among others.
