    News: MercyMe Earns Two GRAMMY® Nominations

    By Abby Young | Christian News | 0 comment | 28 November, 2017 | 0

    MercyMe scored two nods for the upcoming 60th Annual GRAMMY Awards®. The recognition in the Best Contemporary Christian Music Performance/Song category for “Even If” and Best Contemporary Christian Album category for LIFER totals five career nominations for the multi-platinum selling band. The Recording Academy will present the GRAMMY Awards® on Sunday, Jan. 28, 2018, live from Madison Square Garden in New York and broadcast on the CBS Television Network from 7:30–11:00 p.m. ET/4:30–8:00 p.m. PT.

    “When you’re in a band for 23 years, your priorities tend to change a bit. Things that seemed important in the beginning just aren’t that important today. That being said, being nominated for a GRAMMY® is NOT one of those things. It’s actually the opposite,” shares MercyMe’s Bart Millard. “The longer we’re in this industry, the more we’ve come to appreciate each moment along the way. We are incredibly grateful.”

    The GRAMMY® news tops a notable year for the band. MercyMe’s most recent No. 1 album LIFER debuted earlier this year, with their smash hit “Even If” dominating the Billboard and Mediabase radio charts with a 19-week streak at No. 1 alongside a successful headlining “Lifer Tour,” three GMA Dove Award wins including the Artist of the Year title and their sixth American Music Award (AMA) nomination.

    2018 will find MercyMe uniting with fellow GMA Dove Award winners Tenth Avenue North for the aptly titled “MercyMe and Tenth Avenue North Live” hitting over 20 markets along the East and Midwest February through April. The much-anticipated new movie, “I Can Only Imagine,” a true story based on the life of Bart Millard who wrote the mega-hit song “I Can Only Imagine” after the loss of his father to cancer, opens in theaters Mar. 16, 2018.

    GRAMMY® nominated LIFER is available at iTunes, Spotify, Amazon, Google Play, Cracker Barrel, LifeWay and more.

In 2009, Billboard named MercyMe’s “Word Of God Speak” the No. 1 Song of The Decade and the group the No. 1 Artist of the Decade in both the Christian Songs and Christian AC Songs categories, recognizing them as one of the industry’s most notable talents. They have sold out venues throughout the US and Canada, including Radio City Music Hall, and have appeared on the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, The Today Show, CBS This Morning, The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, FOX New Channel’s FOX & Friends, CNN, ABC News and in the pages of Entertainment Weekly, The New York Times, USA Today and more. MercyMe’s eighth studio album, Welcome To The New, garnered two GRAMMY® nods, four radio hits, has been certified gold by the RIAA and continues to be a top selling title.
