10 Cometh!

mercyme_10

Attention all Slobbers! We need your help! Mercyme has a new project releasing in April called “10″ to commemorate the 10th anniversary of when “I Can Only Imagine” was written, or what we call “the year when everything changed.” The album contains 10 of our biggest hits plus a few other surprises including a lost MercyMe track never before heard, the much requested kid’s tune “10 Simple Rules” and a very special version of “I Can Only Imagine” recorded at the incredible Abbey Road Studios in London with the London symphony! We’re talking the same dudes that recorded the Star Wars soundtrack people!

Now this is where we need your help. In case you did not know, the music industry as we know it is going through somewhat of an identity crisis. With digital downloads at an all time high, this industry built on tangible product, mainly CD’s, is trying to figure out who are they are and what their future holds. In the meantime less risk is being taken on the artist. In other words, bands are having to rely on direct contact with fans to promote their records effectively rather than hoping for the labels to come up with an effective marketing plan. And maybe that’s the way it should be.

What does all this mean? Basically it means we are asking you to spread the word about our new project “10″. When it comes down to it, the best marketing is when you recommend music to your friends. I rarely have bought an album based on an advertisement or a review, but I have bought tons of records because my friends said they were good.

So please tell your friends, Facebook it, Myspace it, Twitter it, email it, smoke signal it whatever you have to do to get the word out.

We absolutely love blogging and staying in touch with you guys, and now we are asking for you to spread the word, so we can continue to share our hearts and be absolute goofballs for many years to come.  The album releases on April 7th, but you can pre-order it TODAY!

Thank you so much for being the greatest fans in the world! Now go get’em!

Not a “10″ but more like a “4.3″

  • Sandi~MMslob

    I’m all over it! I have all your albums, so of course this would have to be added to my collection.
    btw, since it’s been over a year since you’ve been in N. CA and I get the blessing of seeing you at least 3 times this year (at least that’s on your schedule)….I intend on holding up a MMSLOB sign at the concerts (Fresno, Great America in Santa Clara, and Spirit West Coast which you play the day after my birthday). If the shirts ever come out…I’ll be wearing that too. Maybe after 9 MM concerts…I’ll finally get to meet ya’ll too! :)

    I will be all over this! On my way to AWANA in a few minutes but will do my best with the connections I have =) It is amazing to me that it has been 10 years since I sat in a parking lot and heard “I Can Only Imagine” the first time. =))

    We’re on it, Bart! We got your back. I for one cannot wait for this cd to come out (mainly for the 10 commandment song.) Because I couldn’t track it down before, I had to teach my students the 10 Commandment Boogie by the GoFish Guys (who I’m dorky enough to love anyway.)
    I will definitely get the word out. And if I can ever figure out how to add a widget or badge to my blog (which I can’t) I would put one up just for you. Because MM is awesome!

    Some people are smart and then there is me!! I ordered the “10″ big fan package and have kept waiting for it day after day and now I read and find it comes in April? Wow, I really do need help! I will look forward to it in April and will spread the word now! (I did like the paypal feature) lololol

  • dispatcher

    You’re not the only one Mayhem. My mail lady thinks I;m crazy because I keep running to the mailbox when she shows up. And now I find out I have to wait until April. Oh well. The exercise is good for me and I think it makes the mail lady feel special. (:=

  • Drew

    Hey Bart, Not a problem, we will spread the word here in E. Tennessee. BTW I ordered the Fan pack the first day I saw it and just had to have the shirt for me this time. When we attended your last concert or the season last year in Montgomery my wife and kids got all the shirts, so this one is for me :-) I am looking forward to its release and will be sure to talk it up with all our family and friends. I cannot wait to see you guys up here in TN in June. God Bless you on your Rock and Worship Road Tour.

  • mcwesty

    Already pre-ordered— 5—-and already spreading the word. April is so far away. Maybe we should get a cover tune grab bag in the mean time.

  • Storm Dragon

    The smoke signal idea made me laugh & if I have the money then I will buy this new CD on the 18th of April my B-day. I will also let my friends know that guys r making a new CD

  • Greg Pulley

    Hey Bart!
    I am all about getting on this project!! You guys are IMPACT people and we love your writing and music! Go God! Every time HE speaks hearts are broken and changed; . . .Amen and you guys are ministering to the multitudes . . .DAILY. I am in Praise and Worship at my church, Crosspoint, and recently did a solo of your . . . “Jesus Bring The Rain” . . .I was overwhelmed and BLESSED! You moved, GOD moved and people were ministered to and still comment about being affected . . .too many to mention but some even mentioned they also went and bought a Mercy Me CD after that. Obviously the main objective is to Glorify God by helping to reach people but the example is also that you are right; . . .the best advertisement is by word of mouth!! We are ALL relational beings because our GOD is a Relational God!! Glory be to GOD it’s all about HIM!

    Thanks for your ongoing contribution to changing hearts in this gut-torn world!

    My family and I love to sing your songs.
    Thank you for the beautiful music you play. Always christian music in our Hummer. So when people ride with us end up loving your music.

    Hey there Bart,
    It is done! I have posted your this info on both my myspace and my facebook pages! Can’t wait to hear this new album. I have to tell you that the song “I Can Only Imagine” has special meaning to me. I saw you guys perform it in July of 2002 at the YEC Conference in San Antonio, TX. When I left the concert that evening, I told my best friend (pastor’s wife) that I wanted that song played at my funeral. Little did I know that only a few months later I would be playing it at my 15 yr old son’s funeral. We had it played along with a photo slide show of my son Shane. Thank you so much for writing such a wonderful song with such a feeling of love and wonder of what it would be like to walk with my Lord Jesus. Every time I hear the song, I can’t help but think of how my son Shane felt standing before God.
    Keep up the great work in blessing all who listen to your wonderful music.
    God bless you,
    Kay

I will never forget the first time I heard Imagine on the radio in my car! It brought me to tears! May God continue to bless you in more ways than you could possibly dream!!

    Hey Bart! I was wondering when you guys would put out a new cd! Actually I’ve had a hard time finding any of your cd’s and the only one I’ve got is ”Almost there” which I’ve had for about 5 or 6 yrs. I go to Walmart and to Barnes and Nobles but they almost have nothing to choose from. Can ya help a sista out?? Love you guys!
