Almost There is the first studio album by the American Christian rock band MercyMe, released on August 14, 2001, by INO Records. Characterizing it as contemporary worship and pop rock, music critics praised the album's songwriting, especially on "I Can Only Imagine", but gave its sound mixed reviews, ranging from "fresh" and "innovative" to derivative. CCM Magazine cited it in the 25th anniversary edition of their 100 Albums You Need to Own list. "Bless Me Indeed (Jabez's Song)" was released as the album's lead single, but it underperformed on the charts. The second single, "I Can Only Imagine", boosted sales for the album, and crossed over to mainstream radio in 2003. The album peaked at number 39 on the Billboard 200 and number one on the Billboard Christian Albums chart. Billboard ranked it as the fourth best-selling Christian album of 2000–2009 in the U.S. Both the album and the single "I Can Only Imagine" have sold more than 3 million copies. (Full article...)

- Looks pretty good. Only thing I’d say is maybe I Can Only Imagine selling 3,000,000 copies, the best selling Christian song ever, might be worth a note? Toa Nidhiki05 20:27, 12 September 2019 (UTC)
- Okay, I added some and subtracted some to keep it under 1025 ... how does that work? - Dank (push to talk) 21:26, 12 September 2019 (UTC)
