1. "Revelation Song" - Phillips, Craig & Dean

Phillips Craig & Dean - fearlessINO
"Revelation Song," which debuted 15 weeks ago, is off of the new release, fearless. A tribute to the greatness of Jesus, this song is a huge hit at radio and sits in the top spot on four different charts.

2. "Hero" - Skillet

Skillet - AwakeINO Records / Atlantic
In week number 12, "Hero," from the new release Awake, is rockin' towards the top. 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.

Tobymac - City On Our KneesForefront Records
"City On Our Knees," which debuted two weeks ago, is from his upcoming album (February, 2010) and it sold more than 17,000 units the first week it was available for download.

"My Sweet Escape," which debuted eight weeks ago, is the second radio release from Love at the Core. This love song to God has some almost worship element to it and is a nice change for Run Kid Run.
