Hit Parade is the first official compilation album by the Christian modern rock band Audio Adrenaline, released on March 13, 2001 by ForeFront Records. This
collection contains fifteen of Audio A's best tracks from their previous albums,
from 1993's Don't Censor Me to 1999's Underdog, plus two new recordings that were released to Christian radio as singles: "Will Not Fade" (Christian Rock)
and "One Like You" (Christian CHR). The band produced the new tracks. There
are no songs represented from their self-titled debut album, aside from the
"DC-10" rerecording from Underdog. Hit Parade climbed to number 9 on the
Top Christian Albums and debuted and peaked at number 186 on the Top 200 Albums charts in Billboard magazine. In 2002, Audio A were nominated for a
Dove Award for Rock Recorded Song of the Year for "Will Not Fade."
