Dove Award-winning group Phillips, Craig and Dean keep making milestones in their 23-year career.
The group recently received RIAA certified Gold status, an honor bestowed on any recording that has sold 500,000 units, for its No. 1 single “Revelation Song” all while being set to release their 13th career album “Above It All” on Nov. 11.
“Revelation Song” was No. 1 for 17 weeks on Billboard’s Adult Contemporary (AC) Monitored chart and also reached No. 1 on Billboard’s National Christian Audience chart, AC Indicator chart and Soft AC chart. The group’s label, Fair Trade Services, presented the trio with the official gold plaque in October to mark the noteworthy event for the Dove Award-winning song.
Jeff Moseley, president of Fair Trade Services, said, “This significant achievement is a testimony to the enduring impact Phillips, Craig and Dean have had on Christian music. It is remarkable for a group with this legacy to continue to forge new paths for the future instead of resting on their laurels. These men, combined with this incredible song, have created a classic for generations to come. We are happy to celebrate with them and the writer of this song, Jennie Lee Riddle.”
Phillips, Craig and Dean remain an active touring act, which has included appearances at National Religious Broadcasters and Christian Booksellers Association conventions and Promise Keepers events. The group still maintains their moratorium on Saturday night travel because of their commitments as full-time pastors at their home churches in Austin, Texas; St. Louis, Mo.; and Carrollton, Texas.
Randy Phillips of the group said, “Years ago when Phillips, Craig and Dean started, I could not have imagined that we would still be making music 23 years later, much less that radio and our listeners would still be playing and listening. It is an honor to have achieved this accomplishment and to have relevance at this point in our career. We are thankful to God, the wonderful people who still download and listen to our music and to Christian radio for giving us a voice for all these years. Thanks to Fair Trade for their support, to Bernie Hermes for an incredible arrangement and to Jennie Lee Riddle for a great song to sing.”
