They are regularly featured on the television network Gospel Music Television, as well as radio stations across the U.S. On the website Radioactive airplay which is a charting system for gospel music, the Calvarymen had the #1 Christmas song for 2006, and the #2 southern gospel song for the month of December, 2006. Just this year, the Calvarymen found themselves on the Singing New Magazine Chart, reaching #62 with the song “Let’s Go To That Land”.
