MercyMe Celebrates 10 Years

MERCYME CELEBRATES 10 YEARS SINCE "I CAN ONLY IMAGINE"

UPCOMING “10” PROJECT TO FEATURE NEW RECORDING OF TIMELESS ANTHEM WITH THE LONDON SYMPHONY 2 DISC SET ALSO FEATURES #1 HITS, 13 VIDEOS, GOSPEL MUSIC CHANNEL’S “FAITH & FAME,” PLUS NEVER BEFORE HEARD SONGS

It’s been 10 years since MercyMe frontman Bart Millard penned “I Can Only Imagine,” a touchingly personal song about his father’s early death that catapulted the group to nothing short of superstardom. The down-to-earth Texas-based band’s breakthrough hit would sell almost 3 million copies, race up the radio charts, and be adopted as an anthem by hurting people around the world. In a testament to “I Can Only Imagine’s” timelessness, it remains a favorite on radio playlists nationwide today.

To mark this epic anniversary, and to celebrate one of the most powerful songs and popular groups in Christian music history, MercyMe is releasing “10,” on April 7th. “10” is a new CD/DVD set that showcases twelve number one singles and videos that span MercyMe’s career.

The “10” audio CD features hits from all of their previous albums, plus three bonus tracks including a new recording of “I Can Only Imagine” with the famed London Symphony Orchestra. The companion DVD brings the music to life, featuring a diverse mix of videos that showcase how the band’s music has won hearts in local venues and around the world. The fans can also view an inside glimpse of the story behind “I Can Only Imagine” and get up close and personal with the band through their appearance on Gospel Music Channel’s “Faith & Fame” feature.

For listeners who first met MercyMe through the story of Millard’s father, which inspired “I Can Only Imagine,” “10” will be a musical marker of a career that has changed lives and continues to inspire. For others, it may be an introduction to a group that has scaled great heights and yet remains firmly grounded by their faith and their families.

MercyMe is also offering a special edition, exclusive pre-sale for fans. To learn more, visit:
