4. "Hero" - Skillet

Skillet - AliveAtlantic/INO/Ardent
In week number four, our fourth song in the Top 10 is from the upcoming release, Awake, which will hit stores on August 25. One of those tunes that reaches out, snatches you up, shakes you around a bit and just refuses to let go, this one will be the summer's hottest rocker.

5. "Speaking Louder Than Before" - Jeremy Camp

Number five is the second radio release from Jeremy Camp's album of the same name. With a almost power/punk beat, this tune could easily be the official battle cry of 2009 for youth and adults alike.
