Conventional wisdom has it that Amy Grant put Contemporary Christian music on the map. She surely did that, achieving
such breakthroughs as being the first Contemporary Christian artist to
have a platinum record, the first with a #1 pop single, and the first to
perform at the Grammys.
Contemporary Christian music’s first major crossover success, she
has to date earned three multiplatinum albums, six other platinum albums
and four more gold albums; scored 10 Top 40 pop singles and 17 Top 40
Adult Contemporary tracks, as well as a string of Contemporary Christian
chart-toppers. She has won six Grammy Awards plus numerous Dove Awards.
Her hits include "Baby Baby," "Every Heartbeat," "That's What Love Is
For," "Lead Me On," "El Shaddai" and more.
