Second Consecutive No. 1 Radio Hit…

One of the premier songwriters of today, sixstepsrecords/Sparrow Records' Chris Tomlin receives his second consecutive No. 1 radio hit with "Holy Is The Lord" from his current, best-selling recording, Arriving.

Tomlin recently made radio history by becoming the first artist ever on R & R's Christian AC chart to have two singles simultaneously in the Top 10. Both his first No. 1 radio hit "Indescribable" and his "Holy Is The Lord" not only hit the Top 10 together March 4, but stayed there for 5 consecutive weeks. This week "Holy Is The Lord" takes it's turn at No. 1 on the R & R AC Monitor chart, as well as No. 1 on the Inspirational chart for it's third consecutive week. The multi-format hit song is also No. 1 on both CRW's AC and Inspirational charts for a combined audience impression of 12.2 million, as well as No. 1 on Billboard's Christian Adult Contemporary chart with 4.1 million audience impressions.

On Television…

Last month, Tomlin received his first GMA Music Award for Praise & Worship Album of the Year for Arriving during the 36th Annual GMA Music Awards. Tomlin also led worship for the distinguished audience, playing "Holy Is The Lord" during the awards ceremony that will be televised in national syndication during the month of June with an expected audience reach of at least 75% of U.S. households.

Retail Update…

Tomlin's fastest selling recording to date, Arriving re-entered the Billboard Top 200 in March and almost 300,000 units of the recording have been shipped to date to retail.
