Christian band MercyMe debuted their new Christmas album one day early exclusively on Billboard to give people a chance to know what they are buying tomorrow.

MercyMe, It's Christmas features the band's hit holiday singles "Joy" and "Christmastime Again" and the tour kicks off on October 22.

Listen to the full album here.

The album will mark the multi-platinum selling band's second Christmas release. The announcements were revealed in the midst of celebrating their second No. 1 hit, "Flawless," (Billboard's Christian AC Indicator chart) from the best-selling Welcome to the New project (2014).

Hitting a dozen cities this fall, with 27 No. 1 songs under their belt, MercyMe will have plenty to choose from when they bring a night of favorite hits to their audiences, while welcoming award winning artists Phil Wickham, Tim Timmons and speaker John Lynch (see tour routing below and click here for updates).

MercyMe has spent much of the summer recording MercyMe, It's Christmas! with producer Brown Bannister at the helm. Their last Christmas album, The Christmas Sessions (2005), was heralded as an instant classic and garnered them a spot on The Tonight Show as well as ABC's annual Disney Christmas Parade. MercyMe, It's Christmas! reinterprets classic holiday songs mixed with originals, soaring emotive ballads, fun, up-tempos tracks and original compositions.
