Casting Crowns Certifies RIAA Gold In Four Weeks
Dec 22, 2009 Casting Crowns
Today, the blockbuster fourth studio album, Until The Whole World Hears from GRAMMY, AMA and five-time Dove Award-winning “Group of the Year,” Casting Crowns (Beach Street/Reunion Records), reaches RIAA Gold status, only four weeks after the Nov. 17 release. This certification, signifying U.S. album shipments exceeding 500,000 units, marks the fastest-selling Casting Crowns album in its unparalleled six-year career.
With its sales continuing to demonstrate an upward trend, Casting Crowns is again named Billboard’s Top Christian Album Artist for 2009, for a third consecutive year. The repeated placement at No.1 on the year-end Christian/Gospel chart (12/31/09) solidifies Casting Crowns as the top-selling act in Christian music since 2007.
Selling 167,000 first-week copies, the historical debut of Until The Whole World Hears set a sales record for the group as the highest debuting Christian Music artist in SoundScan history (week ending 11/22/09). The album released as the third strongest album debut in the country on Billboard’s Top 200 chart behind John Mayer and Norah Jones. With 44, 845 units sold this week, Until The Whole World Hears is No.1 for a fourth week on Nielsen SoundScan Current Contemporary Christian Album chart. At radio, the title track claimed a third week at No. 1 on Billboard’s AC-Monitored chart, marking a ninth career chart-topping song for Casting Crowns.

Winter Wonder Slam Tour
Dec 17, 2009 Relient K
The following blog was recently posted on RelientK.com
Dear RK fans,
Due to circumstances beyond any of our control, Matthew Thiessen needed to
leave the Winter Wonder Slam last evening on a red eye flight to Canton. It
is with great sadness to report that Matt’s mother suffered a severe heart
attack Monday evening. Matt flew home to be with his family and at his
mother’s side as she undergoes quadruple bypass surgery. We truly
appreciate your understanding and prayers during this highly emotional time.In an effort to make most of this situation, the remaining members of
Relient K (Ethan, John and Jon) will stay out for the last four (4) shows
and play host to Tim Skipper of House of Heroes as they put together a
medley of Holiday music and fan favorites. As an effort to make the shows
special, we will host a contest to have a fan club member join the guys on
stage to perform ‘Sadie Hawkins Dance’!Again, we thank you for your prayers and wish you joy in your hearts during
the Christmas season.Best,
Kevin Spellman

Leeland: “My Jesus”
Dec 12, 2009 Leeland
Check out this new blog that was posted on LeelandOnline.com:
“My Jesus” Devotional
“And I’m lost in Your love and Your mercy. Lord Your beauty is so overwhelming. I’m thankful for Your truth. I’m so in love with You, my Jesus.”
Recently, I had one of those spiritual epiphanies and everything became clear in one moment. I was praying and suddenly my eyes were opened to something. I realized that I had complicated things. I’d turned my relationship with God into process…a formula. I knew God loved me, but for some reason I couldn’t get free from the bondage of “productivity”. I don’t think I’m the only one who has struggled with this.
Don’t get me wrong – we’re supposed to be responsible and get things done in life, but that’s not what I’m talking about. We’ve brought this “productivity” thing into our relationship with God and we’ve completely missed the point of the Gospel.
We were created for one simple purpose, and that’s to be intimate with God. To know Him and walk alongside Him with love is the highest calling, the ONLY calling. Everything else flows from this. Do you want to win this world to Jesus? Do you want to see your family situation turn around? How about those bills that are stacking up? The solution to the world’s problems and the answer to our needs will only come if you’re intimate with God. Show me someone that’s giving everything in pursuit of the face of God, and I’ll show you a world-changer. Show me someone that’s consumed with just “getting things done” for God, and I’ll show you a frustrated & unfulfilled person.
This song is an invitation to make things simple again and, to make your greatest goal in life to simply fall more in love with Jesus. Really get lost in Him. Here’s a project for you. Take some time today (and every day for the rest of your life) to just sit and let God love you. Then let that love fill every moment of your day, even the ordinary places. It will change your life. If we get this, we’ll be in the perfect position to change the world around us!
