In the Weekly Top 10 this week, Third Day and MercyMe hold onto their spots with ease. New music abounds though, with tunes coming in from Brandon Heath, James Fortune & Fiya and Rush of Fools.

1. "Call My Name" - Third Day

Marvin Sapp - ThirstyProvident
"Never Would Have Made It," which debuted last August, is off of Marvin Sapp's seventh album, Thirsty. With a voice that is as smooth as glass and the background vocals courtesy of Myron Butler & Levi, this motivational and moving song has everything going for it.
