Skillet Bangs Its Way to #1

“Awake & Alive,” the latest single from Skillet, is #1 at Mainstream Active Rock Radio outlets nationwide. Their gold certified album, “AWAKE,” now features a trio of Active Rock and Christian radio blockbusters including the current hit “Awake and Alive,” the RIAA gold certified, top 5 Active Rock and Christian Rock smash, “Monster,” and the just certified RIAA gold hit “Hero” – with digital single sales from the album now exceeding 1.5 million.

“Hero” has been used extensively on TV including the NFL’s Sunday Night Football, NFL Weekend Kickoff promos, ESPN, and more. It was most recently featured on FOX Sports’ “The Daytona 500: The American Dream,” a one-hour documentary special delivering fresh and never-before-seen footage from self-professed Skillet fan, Trevor Bayne’s historic run to Victory Lane.
