Nashville, Tenn. - While recording at Sound Stage Studios in Nashville, Tenn., Phil Wickham was surprised by his record label, FairTrade Services and long-time management, BrickHouse Entertainment with an RIAA certified platinum (1 million single sales & streams) plaque for his landmark song, "This Is Amazing Grace."
The surprise plaque presentation precedes the anticipated release of Wickham's Living Hope, the artist's first, full-length, new album in two years. Dropping Aug. 3, the album's title track is co-written with Bethel Music's Brian Johnson.
His RIAA platinum certified single “This Is Amazing Grace” gave Wickham his first career No. 1, holding the top spot on Billboard’s National Christian Audience Chart for 13 consecutive weeks. The honors continued as the single was named Billboard’s 2014 No. 1 Christian Airplay Song of the year and BMI's 2015 Christian Song of the Year. In addition to its success at radio, the song has become a beloved anthem in the modern church. “Living Hope” marks Wickham’s first song from his forthcoming collection of the same name which will be unveiled on Aug. 3.
