MercyMe’s “Oh Death” Hits No. 1 Ahead Of ‘Wonder & Awe’ Album On August 8
10x platinum band MercyMe has garnered their 51st multi-format No. 1 song with “Oh Death” topping the Mediabase Christian AC chart after previously hitting the top spot on the Mediabase Christian AC Activator and Canadian Christian Radio Chart (CCRC) charts as well. Written by Bart Millard, Walker Hayes, Ethan Hulse & Tedd Tjornhom, “Oh Death” is the first radio single from their upcoming August 8th release, WONDER & AWE.
WONDER & AWE is the band’s 12th studio project and follows their 2022 release, ALWAYS ONLY JESUS, which boasted the No. 1 hits, “Then Christ Came feat. Phil Wickham” and “To Not Worship You,” as well as the top five hit, “Always Only Jesus.”
The new 13-track project finds the band collaborting with longtime producer Tedd T, who also serves as Executive Producer, as well as Brown Bannister, and new creative voices Josh Auer, Jarad Atherton and Carter Frodge. For the first time ever, the band also jumped in to co-produce all tracks.
“I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again…I can’t believe we get to make music for a living!” remarked Millard upon hearing the news of the song hitting No. 1. “Anytime we can write a song that connects with people on any level, it’s a dream come true. ‘Oh Death’ is no exception!”
In support of the new release, MercyMe is embarking on a eight-date stint this fall with fellow hitmakers TobyMac and Matthew West from September 25 through October 5. Giving fans even more of the phenomenal in-person experience, “MERCYME LIVE 2025” is slated to continue through the fall with Natalie Grant and special guest Sam Wesley.
