When discussing the band's latest project, Only Jesus, Casting Crowns' front man Mark Hall takes great pains to shift the focus off of the band, off of himself, and solely onto the one they sing about-Jesus. 

"There's much talk these days about legacy," shares Hall about the new album. "How do we want to be remembered? The more I think about it the more I'm reminded that anything in me that's worth remembering are the things that Jesus has worked on, and is still working on in me. On my own I have nothing to offer the world, but Jesus does - so don't mind me. Jesus is the only name to remember."

This new album features the single, "Only Jesus," which is one of the fastest-charting songs of 2018 and already a Top 10 hit. "Only Jesus" gives Casting Crowns their 26th Top 10 song on the Hot Christian Songs chart, the most by any group. This week the band also announced their "Only Jesus" Tour, a 37-city spring arena tour presented by Compassion International featuring fellow Grammy winner Zach Williams and Austin French. Click here for tour dates.
