About MercyMe:
It continues to be a landmark season for the multi-platinum selling MercyMe. A
major motion picture based on the life of frontman Bart Millard who wrote the
mega-hit song "I Can Only Imagine” after the loss of his father opened at a
remarkable No. 3 at the box office on Mar. 16, 2018 (Lionsgate, Roadside
Attractions). Carrying the same name, Millard’s first memoir also released this
year followed by the unveiling of I Can Only Imagine – The Very Best Of
MercyMe. MercyMe was named Top Christian Artist at the 2018 Billboard
Music Awards, scored their sixth GRAMMY® nomination, was the top winner
at the fan-fueled K-LOVE Fan Awards including a win for Artist of the Year and
won their seventh American Music Award. The group was the 2017 GMA Dove
Award Winner for Artist Of The Year.
Since their debut in 2001, GRAMMY® nominated, multiple American Music
Award and Dove Award winners MercyMe have sold more than 9 million units
in CD, single and DVD sales, garnered more than 58 No. 1 multi-format radio
singles and four consecutive mainstream radio hits with “I Can Only Imagine,”
(No. 4 AC/Top 25 on Top 40/Hot AC), “Here With Me” (No. 4 AC), “Homesick”
(Top 10 AC) and “So Long Self.” MercyMe made history in 2014 as “I Can Only
Imagine” surpassed 2 million digital downloads, making it the first song in
Christian music to go platinum and double-platinum in the digital domain. The
album containing the hit, Almost There, recently received triple platinum
certification from the RIAA. 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, FOX News 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, the RIAA Certified Gold Welcome To The New,
garnered two GRAMMY® nods and four radio hits. LIFER, their latest charttopping, GMA Dove Award winning and GRAMMY® nominated album,
includes the RIAA certified gold, GRAMMY® nominated smash hits "Even If”
and "Grace Got You."
