Matthew West - Something To SaySparrow
Moving up from Number 8 last week, this song is a hit for West. Off of the new release, Something To Say, Matthew West has a great deal to say after successful vocal cord surgery. This album isn't simply food for thought ... it's food for your spirit.

6. East to West - Casting Crowns

Casting Crowns - The Altar and the DoorBeach Street Records
This beautiful song, off of the latest Casting Crowns release, The Altar and The Door, is one of my favorites. The usual fare from Casting Crowns, "East to West" boasts deep, meaningful lyrics, a perfect blend on the vocals and sterling musicianship. After only four weeks in the Top 10, this song moved up to number one and it stayed there for 19 weeks until last week, when MercyMe took top honors.

Newsboys - GoInpop
This remixed version of "In Wonder," which debuted at number 5 in mid-December, has a smooth little groove going, but still sounds like the Newsboys that we've come to know and love.

8. Never Going Back To OK - The Afters

The Afters - Never Going Back To OKProvident
"Never Going Back To OK," which debuted last week, is the title track off of another upcoming February release. Upbeat pop is the phrase of the day and The Afters do it quite well.

9. Everything Glorious - David Crowder Band

David Crowder Band - RemedySix Steps Records
Yes, you've heard this song before (think Passion), but the Remedy version is inspired and impressive.
