Thousand Foot Krutch's "Exhale" is the Current #1 Christian Album

The brand new album by Canadian Christian rock band Thousand Foot Krutch's (TFK) EXHALE receives an impressive bow on the Billboard Top Christian albums chart. The set makes is debut at #1, selling 14,000 copies in its launch sales week, ending June 23, according to Nielsen Music.
Meanwhile, on Billboard 200, the all music genre chart, EXHALE debuts at No. 34, and simultaneously, starts at No. 2 on Hard Rock Albums and No. 6 on Top Rock Albums.
EXHALE is filled with arena-shaking anthems and some of the boldest lyrics in the group's history.
"I had gotten the idea a few years back of having an album called 'Inhale' showcasing the lighter, quieter side of the band that's always been a part of our albums, allowing us the freedom to dig deeper into that than we have before. And then to have an album called EXHALE that drops the gloves and dives even deeper into the aggressive side of the band. We didn't get soft on the last one! I promise!" laughs TFK front man Trevor McNevan."It was always meant to be a two-part story."
The unapologetic, gate-charging lead single, "Running With Giants," captures the energy of EXHALE along with an assertive message for underdogs. "In life, everyone wants to put you in a box, and label you, but your value or success doesn't depend on what others think of you," says McNevan.
"Follow your own convictions, dreams and inspirations, and don't be afraid to step over your fears. The faith steps in our lives define our journeys, and that's what this song is about."
"Running With Giants" follows two consecutive Top 20 Active Rock hits ("Untraveled Road," "Born This Way") from OXYGEN:INHALE and has already become an international hit as the fastest chart-climbing song in TFK's history. After premiering on the airwaves via SiriusXM Octane Feb. 21 and with TFK's live performance of the song Feb. 12 at the RadioContraband Rock Radio Convention 2016, "Running With Giants" went on to debut at No. 38 on the Active Rock chart. Up 13 notches this week at Active Rock in the US and hitting No. 20 in Canada, the song posts a Top 10 Under-The-Radar chart hit and continues to climb.
The band further continues to pour back into their audience, gifting the second chances-themed "Born Again" to its fans. Downloaded tens of thousands of times by fans from more than 120 countries, and with more than 354,000 YouTube views so far, this song is also featured on EXHALE. Taking the fan favorites and new songs on tour around the globe, TFK's McNevan, along with bandmates, bassist Joel Bruyere and drummer Steve Augustine, recently returned from their third tour of Russia in as many years and will be featured at major US rock festivals this summer, including first-time mainstage performances at Monster Energy Carolina Rebellion and Rocklahoma fests. TFK's summer tour will be announced soon, with all the latest festivals and schedule updates available now at www.ThousandFootKrutch.com.
