Eighth Day Starts Off 2012 With Major Media and Radio Exposure
#1 Hit “May I Never Get Over the Cross” Named 2nd Most Played Song of the Year
SPARTANBURG, S.C. – (January 6, 2012) – Popular Southern Gospel trio Eighth Day are starting off the year with a bang. The group has seen an abundance of radio and media exposure due to the group’s #1 hit “May I Never Get Over the Cross” and current rising single “Are You Ready.”
Eighth Day’s #1 hit from last fall, “May I Never Get Over the Cross,” was named the 2nd most played song of the year according to AbsolutelyGospel.com. The song spent an impressive 4 weeks at #1 and was only surpassed in spins this year by one other song – Karen Peck & New River’s “On the Banks of the Promised Land.”
In addition, the group’s current single, “Are You Ready,” ranked #73 on the Top 100 Songs of 2011 after only 2 months at radio. The group was also among the 20 most played artists of the year – ranking at #13 this year.
“WOW! God is so amazing,” mentioned Scott Robinson of Eighth Day. “He has truly proven himself to be faithful. We are honored that He has blessed our ministry in this way.”
Eighth Day also earned buzz at the end of 2011 as they were named one of the Top 10 artists to watch in 2012 by the staff of AbsolutelyGospel.com – the industry’s largest and most read e-zine for Southern Gospel music.
The site said this about the trio:
“Eighth Day was no stranger to Southern Gospel music - scoring a handful of Top 20 hits before landing the career high of a #1 hit on both the Singing News Top 80 and AbsolutelyGospel.com Top 40 Weekly Chart. ‘May I Never Get Over the Cross’ was a hit by all standards, and Eighth Day is poised to take the Southern Gospel world by storm with the extra publicity that a #1 hit affords a group. You don't want to miss out on what this group is doing, that's for sure!”
Eighth Day’s latest single, “Are You Ready.” recently made a huge surge at radio. The song jumped from #30 to #11 on the upcoming February 2012 Singing News Top 80 chart. The song also sits at #16 on the AbsolutelyGospel.com Top 40 Weekly Chart.
Scott Robinson of Eighth Day said, “Radio has already been so kind to our group. We continue to be humbled by their acceptance of us and our music. The response to ‘Are You Ready?’ has already been tremendous!”
The song is being promoted to radio by Spin-N-Motion Promotions.

SNM Welcomes New Artists!
Spin-N-Motion Welcomes New Artists!
LaVerne Tripp has just released his first single with SNM. On our January 2012 compilation you'll find the song RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW. It comes as no surprise that the song was written by LaVerne. He has written many chart-topping songs including I Know, After Calvary, and That Day Is Almost Here. Those songs bring back some great memories! LaVerne is a multi-nominated Dove Award recipient and travels the world with his wife, Edith, evangelizing and singing the Gospel of Jesus Christ. They also sponsor 300 children in India. There is so much more to the story of this amazing man of God! SNM is excited to be partnering with LaVerne Tripp in ministry.
An interesting mix of personalities make up the group MARK209. Hailing from Tennessee and Alabama, this quartet features some of the most talented voices out there today. Listed as one of Absolutely Gospel's "One-to-Watch 2012" and nominated for 2011 "Entertainer of the Year" by USAGEM awards, Joe, Jimmy, Jym, and Nathaniel are not your typical male quartet and their sound is as unique as their name. MARK209 lives up to the hype their name suggests with a great blend of traditional Southern and modern Country Gospel. Their first SNM release, MY HOME IN HEAVEN, is on our January 2012 compilation.
January 2012 Compilation Review
Master’s Voice – Funeral Plans
Titles can certainly be deceiving, can’t they? FUNERAL PLANS brings back memories of my sweet mama. You see, I spent my entire life (well, from age 4 on…) traveling and singing with my family. We had sung at so many funerals that Mama knew exactly how she wanted her funeral to go and we were given strict instructions in how to carry them out. I believe it was everything she wanted. Let me tell you, we had church and eight souls were saved! MASTER’S VOICE brings FUNERAL PLANS to life with their dynamic sound and powerful vocals. The lyrics stir my spirit and I get excited about going home! Do I want to go today? Well that's up to the Lord but when I do go I want to go the way I’ve lived – praising His name! “When I die, let me die praising Your name! Let it ring in my ear all of those songs I sang! Give me the strength to praise You, lift Your name one more time…“ Oh, this is a fantastic song. Be it live in concert or blasting over the airwaves, the audience is gonna’ love this - This is the kind of song that will make you run the aisle!
Mark209 – My Home In Heaven
Mark209 puts their own spin on this old Woody Wright fan favorite. MY HOME IN HEAVEN has always been a fun song to listen to and when you hear these guys sing it, you know it has to be fun to sing as well. Clean and crisp vocals are highlighted throughout this upbeat southern gospel tune and the blend of voices more than hits the mark. This is my first encounter with the quartet Mark209 and I must say that I really enjoy listening to these guys sing. May I just add that I love to hear a good bass singer hit strong low notes and I found that here. The message in the song simply states that everything can be taken away - everything but MY HOME IN HEAVEN. If you’ve made Jesus your savior then you have this promise too!
LaVerne Tripp – Right Here, Right Now
One of the greatest blessings a believer has is the peace that comes from knowing that God is all we need. RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW paints a beautiful picture of that place of contentment. Even when we find ourselves in a situation that is less than ideal, God still holds everything we need and will show us how to obtain His best for us. Written by LaVerne Tripp and delivered in classic style, I imagine this song was inspired first, from scripture encouraging us to trust in the Lord, and second, probably from personal experience. You’re not likely to live the life of a Christian artist for as long as Mr. Tripp has and not learn to trust in the Lord. There’s some great “piano picking” featured in this one as well!

The Joyaires – Saved, Sealed and Going
Songwriter Rodney Griffin puts it this way: "If there are three things in life I would want to know for a fact before I die, it would be these: 1. I'm 100% sure that my sins are forgiven by the blood of the Lamb and I am Saved. 2. I've been Sealed by the Holy Spirit until the day of redemption. 3. It's not if, but when…I AM going to heaven when I die. When someone knows these three things, they can live a life of joy and peace…because as good as it is to live here, the best is yet to come!" I hope you enjoy the Joyaires' rendition of this brand new song, "Saved, Sealed And Going"!" Well, that pretty much sums it up. I love the harmony from the Joyaires and the true southern gospel sound that they to bring to whatever song they sing. SAVED, SEALED and GOING is a great fit for this group!

October 2011 Compilation Review by Joy Rider
Spin-N-Motion October 2011 Compilation
Chris Hester – Child, I Know The Plans (I Have For You)
"Jeremiah 29:11” - How many Christians do you know who are quoting this scripture today? In the day & time we are living, EVERY Christian should have it deeply embedded in their spirits. CHRIS HESTER, along with guest vocalist Sheri LaFontaine, reinforce this essential truth with beautiful harmony & blend. I love to listen to both as soloists but their voices together have simply blown me away - just wait, you’ll hear it for yourself! Sheri co-wrote CHILD, I KNOW THE PLANS and she feels every word she is singing. Chris, as always, is strong & smooth. I'm telling you, together these two are incredible! This song is powerful & encouraging, full of the hope that we as believers must hold on to. Can’t wait to hear the response from DJ’s on this one - I like it a lot!!
The Telestials – I’ll Be There
Such a clean sound, both with instruments & vocals, THE TELESTIALS deliver again! I’LL BE THERE proclaims the message that God will always be there, not if, but when we mess up – every time, no matter how many times. His grace is sufficient and will never come up short. The battle ground of the enemy is our mind and when we “program” our minds to take every thought captive and replace them with the promises found in God’s word then the enemy has no foothold. The bible says that “out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks”. We all know that whatever our minds dwell on will take root in our hearts. So fill your mind with the truth that God is not a man that He should lie … but He keeps His promises! I’LL BE THERE, a song of promise, hope, and truth. This song will preach!
Stubborn Love – More Blessed Are They
Written by group member, Geneva Myers, MORE BLESSED ARE THEY recounts the story of Jesus appearing to His disciples after His resurrection, even to the ”doubting Thomas.” It also brings to life Peter’s water-walking experience. Some of us, like Thomas, have to see to believe while others step out in blind faith only to have our eyes suddenly seeing very clearly, but focused on circumstances instead of the Savior. It’s easy to find yourself in either of these two situations but how wonderful it is to know that Jesus said we are more blessed than those who actually walked with Him, served with Him, experienced life-changing miracles alongside of Him … simply because we choose to believe! STUBBORN LOVE has beautiful harmony throughout this song, with the strong voice of
Song of David – One Step
I remember days when it looked as though my children would never be able to put one foot in front of the other and actually learn to walk! Seems ridiculous now to think that way, but isn’t it like that for us at times in our Christian walk? Newcomer, SONG OF DAVID, puts this journey into perspective: “With God, I’m walking ONE STEP at a time on the straight and narrow way … whether you crawl or whether you run … don’t take time to sit down and wonder … let Him lead the way!” Hmm, it’s not that big a deal to God because He knows that we are more than able to walk this walk. After all, He made every possible provision for us to do so and He took all of our excuses away at
Greg Hurley – Somebody’s Praying Me Through
I believe I’ll ask GREG HURLEY how he chooses the songs he records. There hasn’t been a song from him yet that hasn’t spoken deeply to my heart! With his latest release, SOMEBODY’S PRAYING ME THROUGH, the listener is flooded with memories of loved ones and dear friends who stood in the gap during hard times of sickness and discouragement, failures and betrayals. The Lord has a people who will intercede for one another and this song reminds us that we, as His body, need each other - we aren’t meant to operate alone! Prayer not only strengthens the one being prayed for but also the one doing the praying. God’s pretty amazing that way – nothing goes to waste! Humility is worked when we can put ourselves in someone else’s shoes and show compassion by walking to the throne room and laying their burdens at His feet on their behalf. What a blessing to know that someone cares! No one paints a more vivid picture through song for me than Greg Hurley – he just did it again!
The Williamsons – Walking In Step
This upbeat, wonderfully southern gospel song is so refreshing! WALKING IN STEP starts off with that beautiful harmony from one of my all-time favorite mixed quartets, THE WILLIAMSONS, who stay true to what makes them stand out from all the others - They are so tight in their vocals and the message is always encouraging. As long as we stay in step with Him then we can’t go wrong - no way, no how! A great radio tune for sure, and a great follow up to their last radio single, He’s Leading Me, that reached #28 on the Singing News October 2011 Top 80 chart. I love listening to this fantastic group and being partners with them in spreading the Good News of Jesus Christ!
