Underscoring their long-standing appeal, the seventh studio album from multi-platinum and award-winning band MercyMe, "The Hurt & The Healer," has hit the Billboard 200 top albums chart at No. 7. The album charted at just below Lionel Richie’s newest release and above Sara Bareilles and Norah Jones’ latest.
The new release sold nearly 33,000 copies. Surprisingly, it's the band's only second top 10 album and follows 2010's "The Generous Mr. Lovewell," which debuted and peaked at No. 3 with an 88,000 launch.
