MercyMe’s “best of” album topped the Christian Soundscan Chart at No. 1 this past week and also hit No. 18 on the Billboards Top 200 Chart.

Released April 7, 10 spans MercyMe’s five studio releases and features 11 of MercyMe’s biggest hits, three bonus tracks, and a new version of "I Can Only Imagine" recorded with the London Symphony Orchestra.

The album marks the 10th anniversary of MercyMe’s hit single “I Can Only Imagine,” which catapulted the group to superstardom. The song was penned by MercyMe frontman BartMillard in memory of his father following his early death.
