Sanctus Real Celebration

Posted by Kevan Breitinger Dec 1, 2006

The band has reason to celebrate, as its current recording, "The Face of Love," has become its best-selling album to date. In fact, the album jumps back on the Billboard Top 200 this week, landing at No. 2 on the Billboard Top Heatseekers chart.

The debut radio single from the album and the band’s first MTVu featured video, “I’m Not Alright,” launched to No. 1 and stayed on top for six full weeks. The song is the latest in a string of No. 1 hits that have included “Everything About You” and “The Fight Song.” The band’s second single and title track to "The Face of Love" became a multi-format hit this fall, while it’s third single, “Don’t Give Up,” goes to radio Dec. 15.

Since Sanctus Real broke on the national scene, the band has also looked for opportunities to partner with charitable organizations. They have supported Food for the Hungry and Compassion International on tours, and have most recently joined forces with African Leadership after realizing the incredible need in Africa. The band even traveled to Marshall, MN in September to bring hope to the city that has been devastated by eight tragic teen deaths over a three-month period. Sanctus Real spent time with area families who lost loved ones and performed a free concert for the whole community at Marshall Senior High School. As one of the top Christian rock bands today, Sanctus Real is about tangibly being the “face of love,” not only with friends and family, but reaching outside of that comfort zone.
