The year began with JJ’s song “Your Hands” spinning on nearly 60 reporting Christian adult contemporary FM stations, including K-LOVE, the largest Christian radio network in the US. In the span of a few short months, JJ’s music was no longer reaching several thousand, but several million listeners.

In August of 2010, JJ’s second radio single, “What Love Really Means,” began to find its way into the hearts of a new audience. Radio stations started receiving calls and e-mail messages from listeners who were brought to tears as they heard the song. The warm reception helped “What Love Really Means” surpass the success of “Your Hands” on the Billboard Christian Songs chart. Eventually, over 60 reporting stations added the single to their rotation.
JJ’s first music video was posted to youtube.com in September. With the help of social networking sites like facebook.com, the video was viewed over 100,000 times within the first 48 hours.
“When I’m With You,”
Heller’s fourth full-length record, was quickly embraced by fans after
its October 19 release. “It’s my favorite album I’ve recorded so far,”
Heller says. “When I’m With You” charted for 12 or more weeks on
Billboard Magazine’s Christian Albums, Heatseekers Albums, and Folk
Albums charts.
