The song debuted on the mainstream Adult Contemporary chart tied with Leona Lewis&#8217; &#8220;Better In Time&#8221; for the song most added to radio station playlists. This is a great opportunity for Rush of Fools to reach a mainstream audience.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><br \/>\nThe band&#8217;s single &#8220;Lose It All,&#8221; from their sophomore release <em>Wonder Of The World,<\/em> is the most added single for Christian hit radio.<br \/>\nLooking back through some posts, I remembered that back in July, <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.beliefnet.com\/gospelsoundcheck\/2008\/07\/rush-of-fools-trailer-and-equi.html\" target=\"_blank\">the band had their trailer stolen<\/a>, with almost all of their equipment and merchandise like t-shirts and CDs that they sold at shows. We&#8217;re talking more than $60,000 in loss and not enough insurance to cover it. The band&#8217;s response was to pray for the thieves and trust God would take care of everything.<br \/>\nThat kind of loss can put a band out of business, but not Rush of Fools. They went on with borrowed equipment and a week later, <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.beliefnet.com\/gospelsoundcheck\/2008\/07\/rush-of-fools-trailer-recovere.html\" target=\"_blank\">police recovered their trailer<\/a> and the majority of equipment and merch. Just proof that God will honor the right attitude.<br \/>\nRush Of Fools is gearing up for their first headlining tour launching February 20th with special guests Jimmy Needham, Sarah Reeves and Joy Lippard.<br \/>\nFor more about <a href=\"http:\/\/rushoffools.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Rush of Fools, visit their website.<\/a><br \/>\nRELATED POSTS<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/blog.beliefnet.com\/gospelsoundcheck\/2008\/08\/pick-of-the-week---jimmy-needhams-not-without-love.html\" target=\"_blank\">Pick of the Week &#8211; Jimmy Needham&#8217;s &#8216;Not Without Love&#8217;<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/blog.beliefnet.com\/gospelsoundcheck\/2008\/07\/rush-of-fools-trailer-and-equi.html\" target=\"_blank\">Rush of Fools&#8217; trailer stolen<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/blog.beliefnet.com\/gospelsoundcheck\/2008\/07\/rush-of-fools-trailer-recovere.html\" target=\"_blank\">Rush of Fools&#8217; trailer recovered<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When renowned pianist Jim Brickman releases his new album, Ultimate Love Songs: The Very Best Of Jim Brickman, on January 27, Christian rock band Rush Of Fools will be celebrating with him.
