Newsboys hit #1 again; prep to release remix album; head back to studio for next album

Newsboys have done it again; “Million Pieces,” the second single from their highly acclaimed release Thrive, reached the #1 position for the second week in a row on R&R’s Christian Hit Radio (CHR) charts as well as the Adult Contemporary (AC) charts. Newsboys dominated the charts earlier this year with “It Is You” capturing the #1 spot for a record breaking 12 consecutive weeks on CHR/POP formats.

On top of their radio success, Newsboys are also slated to release their first ever remix album, Newsboys Remixed, on September 24. This is the only CD where Newsboys’ catalog of hits are completely remixed and all on one album. Featuring remixes of songs such as “Shine,” “Breakfast,” “Entertaining Angels,” and the radio smash “It Is You,” Remixed will add a new twist to their already popular songs. The band is currently in the studio working on a new album that is slated to release in Spring 2003.

This album preludes the launch of the highly anticipated Thrive - It’s All In the Word Tour that will be kicking off on October 9. Known for their groundbreaking and innovative live shows, Newsboys will also be joined by featured guests ZOEgirl, Superchick, and By the Tree.
