Born Again is the fourteenth studio album by the Christian rock band Newsboys. It was released on 13 July 2010 and is the first full-length album with lead singer Michael Tait, as well as the first album to feature no original members in the lineup. The group released a special five-track preview EP, also titled Born Again, on 5 January 2010. Four tracks from the EP appeared on the album. The exception, and first single released, was "I'll Be", which was made available on deluxe versions of the album. The album was later reissued as Born Again: Miracles Edition in April 2011, that included five new songs, four remixes and replaced "Impossible" with the new song, "Save Your Life". The album produced two music videos for the title track and "Miracles".
The album debuted at No. 4 on the Billboard 200 charts with 45,000 copies,[8] shattering their previous peak position of No. 28 with 2009's In the Hands of God. The album also became the group's fourth No. 1 album on the Christian charts.[9] As of 20 October 2010, the album has sold 114,863 copies.[10]
