Don’t forget to vote for Artist of the Year and New Artist of the Year either. This is the first year that listeners have been able to vote for these two awards I believe. Make sure your voice is heard!

Mark Hall has started a video blogging series called Crown Camp and you can catch their updates regularly.

It started on February 9th, so you’re already looking forward to a couple of days to catch up on some videos.

So, start catching up now at Casting Crowns Crown Camp

I’m a big fan of twitter so when I get the opportunity to connect with more Christian musicians and groups that are also on twitter I immediately follow them.

Good to see a little bit more movement around the charts again and some great performers on the list but that’s pretty standard each week right?

A little bit of an interesting note though for someone coming up the charts that will be a breath of fresh and new air. Chris Sligh, from American Idol fame, is working his way right up the charts with his song “Empty Me”.

“Who Am I” by Casting Crowns, one of my favorite songs, performed by a blacklight drama group at a church. I’ve seen this similar performance done to this song live and it’s quite moving.

Who’d have though! Blacklights in church!

What do you think? I love it. Do you have a video like this you’d like to share? Just let me know.

Quite a bit of movement this time and good to see a brand new band and song on the chart this week with Tenth Avenue North.

Should it be noted that there’s not a single female vocalist on the chart?
