Contemporary Christian group Casting Crowns is on a roll.
The group received its third career American Music Award last night (Nov. 23) for "Favorite Artist - Contemporary Inspirational." The award was presented during the AMA live broadcast on ABC Network television at L.A.'s Nokia Theater.
Casting Crowns is one of the most successful contemporary Christian artists, having also crossed over onto the mainstream charts with one double platinum album, three platinum albums and six gold albums. Having also released four gold DVDs and four RIAA gold certified digital singles, the band currently holds the position as Billboard's top-selling act in Christian music since 2007.
"Thrive," the group's latest album release, hit No. 1 on the Billboard Contemporary Christian Albums Chart and No. 6 on the Billboard Top 200 Chart on its recent street week, according to a press release.
The record-breaking group is currently on the fall leg of its highly successful Thrive Tour, including a sold out performance at the Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Morrison, Colorado. The band will also perform at New York's famed Carnegie Hall on January 24, 2015, as part of a full weekend with fans.
