It won the Dove Awards for Song of the Year and Pop/Contemporary Recorded Song of the Year at the 39th GMA Dove Awards; the band also performed the song at that event. --> This reads awkwardly. Not sure if the fact that they also performed is relevant. Also, "it won the Dove Award"
I'm seeing too many usage of the "it". Try to alternate between "it", "the song" and the song's title.
By my count there are fourteen uses of the song title, thirteen of "the song", and ten of "it". Is that a good enough split for each? ToaNidhiki05 22:19, 15 June 2012 (UTC)reply
"East to West" received 78 adds in its first week, a record at Christian radio, and peaked atop five chart formats, as well as at number twenty-five on the Billboard Bubbling Under Hot 100 Singles chart. --> This also reads awkwardly. It can probably be split into two sentences.
It ranked at number six on the decade-end Billboard Hot Christian Songs chart and at number seven on the decade-end Billboard Hot Christian AC chart, as well as inside the top fifteen on both the 2007 and 2008 year-end Hot Christian Songs and Hot Christian AC charts --> It ranked at number six on the decade-end Billboard Hot Christian Songs chart and at number seven on the decade-end Billboard Hot Christian AC chart.

signifying sales of over 500,000 digital downloads. --> Digital isn't needed there.
It is needed on that one; the RIAA has separate certifications for physical and digital singles because they count shipments for physical singles and actual sales for digital singles. ToaNidhiki05
I'm not seeing a source for a release date.
Fixed with radio adds date instead. ToaNidhiki05 17:59, 15 June 2012 (UTC)reply
Is there a single cover?
I have the single version on my iTunes library and it is the exact same cover as their album The Altar and the Door. However, it isn't available as the single version on iTunes or Amazon anymore and thus isn't verifiable. ToaNidhiki05 17:59, 15 June 2012 (UTC)reply
Background
Background is information that happens before the production/release of a song. This basically just talks about production. I'd say merging Composition and Background together would be a good idea.
Fixed, changed to 'Recording and composition'. ToaNidhiki05
Composition
F♯ minor, and has a tempo of 77 beats per minute. --> F♯ minor at a tempo of 77 beats per minute.
If I can get the program downloaded at some point today I'll do it, but I'll be gone for a little while longer. ToaNidhiki05 22:05, 15 June 2012 (UTC)reply
Seeing as there is also information here about winning awards, I'd say a retitle is in order. I don't think the subheaders are really needed, so how about just have all this under reception?
"East to West" was released as the lead single from Casting Crowns' 2007 album The Altar and the Door. --> This part is more of background info. Doesn't really belong here.
It advanced to number one in its seventh week on the chart;[13] in total, "East to West" spent forty-three weeks atop the chart[14] and spent a total of nineteen weeks at the top spot, tied with Brandon Heath's "Give Me Your Eyes" for the second most weeks at number one in the history of the Hot Christian Songs chart --> Way too long of a sentence. Needs to be broken up.
Casting Crowns has performed "East to West" in concert --> Not very descriptive? Where? When?
Hope its a bit better now. ToaNidhiki05 22:15, 15 June 2012 (UTC)reply

A bit too short to be on its own. I don't know where it could go though.
Yeah, not too big of a section. I removed it. ToaNidhiki05 22:15, 15 June 2012 (UTC)reply
