Chris Tomlin is celebrating the RIAA Gold certifications for his 2010 album 'And If Our God Is For Us...' and his 2009 Christmas album 'Glory In The Highest: Christmas Songs of Worship.' 'Glory In The Highest: Christmas Songs of Worship' peaked at No. 1 on Billboard’s Holiday albums chart.
The RIAA Gold certifications add to a long list of accolades for Tomlin this year, including his No. 1 Billboard debut for 'Burning Lights,' which was the biggest first-week sales numbers of his career and only the fourth time in history that a Christian music album has accomplished this feat. 'Burning Lights' is also the Best Selling Christian Album of 2013 so far (based on first six month sales). His “Burning Lights Tour” was the most successful tour of his 13 year career, showing a 53% increase in average show attendance and selling out 25 shows in major U.S. markets including New York, Los Angeles, Houston and Chicago. The final night of the spring run, also a sell out show at Denver’s famed Red Rocks Amphitheatre, was filmed before an enthusiastic crowd for what will be Tomlin’s first Live DVD project. The two-disc Burning Lights Deluxe Tour Edition, due out October 29, will include the live DVD along with the Burning Lights CD.
