Accelerate is the fourth album by the Christian pop group Jump5. It was released on October 7, 2003. It charted at No. 150 on the Billboard 200 and at No. 8 on the Top Christian Albums charts. [2] The album demonstrated the group's shift towards a pop rock sound, and was also the first album on which a member of the group had writing credits. Half of the album was covers, including "Do Ya" by Michelle Tumes, "Way of the World" by Don Philip and " Walking on Sunshine" by Katrina and the Waves. The group's cover of Sister Sledge's " We Are Family" was later used as the theme for the Radio Disney Family Pledge Initiative. The group's cover of " Shining Star" by Earth, Wind & Fire was part of The Lizzie McGuire Movie's soundtrack.
