Casting Crowns Goes Platinum

Posted by Kevan Breitinger Feb 19, 2007

This certification, signifying U.S. album shipments exceeding 1 million units, comes only sixteen months after the Aug. 30, 2005, release of the GRAMMY Award-winning album, making Casting Crowns the fastest Contemporary Christian music artist in its career to have its first two albums certified Platinum, and only the second in RIAA history ever to achieve it (the other is Jars of Clay with its self-titled debut in 1996 and Much Afraid in 2000).

Casting Crowns remains a Christian radio-playlist staple across the country, with Lifesong delivering three No. 1 songs: the anthemic hit “Praise You in this Storm,” the album’s title track “Lifesong,” and the latest chart-topper “Does Anybody Hear Her,” currently No. 1 on five charts.
