The 46th Annual GRAMMY® Awards were successful for Christian rock band, Audio Adrenaline who received the award for "Best Rock Gospel Album" for the album, Worldwide. After five nominations, this is Audio Adrenaline's first GRAMMY® Award.

"After five nominations we never thought we would have the honor of winning a Grammy, but once again we are blown away by God's faithfulness," said lead singer Mark Stuart. "Thanks to everyone who voted and a special thanks to ForeFront Records, BrickHouse Entertainment, William Morris Agency, Bridge Street Artists Agency and to our producers and engineers, Jason Burkum, Charlie Peacock, Nathan Dantzler, Aaron Swihart,~Richie Biggs, Shane Wilson, Tony Palacios and Joe Baldridge."

With their ninth ForeFront Records release, Worldwide released February 25, 2003. This album included the successful song, "Ocean Floor," which held the #1 spot at both AC & CHR radio for several weeks. Now their most recent single, "Leaving 99" is hitting airwaves and garnering much acclaim as the fastest added song of 2004. Dubbed as a handbook on how to worship through your actions and not just words, Worldwide is filled with anthemic rock songs reminiscent of the style that has made Audio Adrenaline one of the most memorable youth group bands in Christian music history. With help from producers Charlie Peacock and Jason Burkum, Worldwide features a collection of songs that sound a rallying cry to youth.

ForeFront Records' president Greg Ham added, "After five GRAMMY or nominations, I'm so proud of this band and their first big GRAMMY win! Audio Adrenaline has always been committed to creating stellar rock music for the youth culture of today and it's an honor to see their latest release, Worldwide, embraced by the NARAS voters. They've had an excellent year and we are grateful for this success."
