Skalleluia!, also called The Insyderz Present Skalleluia!, is the second album by the Christian third-wave ska band, The Insyderz. Released 5 May 1998, it is the first of their albums dedicated to ska renditions of worship songs. The album was an unexpected success for the band, which had been reluctant to record an album of praise and worship music{{cite journal|last=Zhito |first=Lisa |date=January–February 1999 |title=Going Outside: The Insyderz are venturing beyon the confines of the Christian market |journal=7ball |issue=22 |pages=26–30 |url=//www.theinsyderz.com/press/i_7ball_1999_01.html |format=reprint |access-date=2007-02-01 |url-status=unfit |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20001013002258/http://www.theinsyderz.com/press/i_7ball_1999_01.html |archive-date=October 13, 2000 }} despite their own background with the genre.

The album charted on the Billboard 200, the Heatseekers, and Top Contemporary Christian Albums charts at 200, 15, and 8, respectively.[{{AllMusic|class=artist|id=p294551/charts-awards|pure_url=yes}} ((( Insyderz > Charts & Awards > Billboard Albums )))], published by Allmusic.
