TobyMac's new single 'City On Our Knees' takes off

|PIC1|The single has hit No 2 on Christian/Digital Tracks Chart, while making the top 100 on the Hot Digital Tracks chart at No 86.

“City On Our Knees” has also been embraced at radio with 96 stations adding it to their playlist in the first three weeks. The song has already sped to No 14 at AC Monitored, No 13 at AC Indicator, and No 5 at CHR.

The Grammy Award winner made his mark in space over the weekend as his hit song “Made To Love” from his Portable Sounds album, was played to wake up the Space Shuttle crew Sunday as Discovery closed in on the international space station. The song was requested by Astronaut Nicole Stott’s seven-year-old son, Roman in which Stott responded by sending him her love and "big space hugs”.

“Made To Love” was the first Single from Portable Sounds (2007), and flew up the charts at #1 on CHR (R&R and CRW), and made the Top 15 on the AC Chart. It also debuted on Billboard’s Hot Singles at #2 and remained there for more than four weeks.

In addition, TobyMac, along with Relient K, will continue to entertain audiences across the country on the fifth annual TobyMac Winter Wonder Slam 2009 Tour. Also scheduled to appear on the tour are B.Reith and Stephanie Smith.

For the first time ever the tour will head to the West Coast as well as making its way to New York City, Fairfax, Pittsburgh and numerous other cities across the states.

Continuing the Winter Wonder Slam tradition of giving, the tour will be teaming up with the US Marine Corps to help with their Toys for Tots campaign. Music fanatics will be encouraged to bring an unwrapped gift to the event as Marines will be on site to collect toys at every venue.
