Alabaster Box's first two radio singles of 2004: 'Love on the Radio' and 'There's Hope', were the most played songs on Christian radio in Australia (and number six in Estonia!). For much of 2004 and continuing into 2005, Alabaster Box was in the top three 'most played artists' in the country and has held down the number one spot for highest independent album sales.
