Amy Grant - Topic

Amy Grant's career spans more than 40 years and stretches from her roots in

gospel into becoming an iconic pop star, songwriter, television personality and

philanthropist. With three multi-platinum albums, six platinum albums and four gold

albums, her total career album sales have exceeded 30 million and over 1 billion

global streams. Grant’s chart success has been consistent throughout her career

with six No. 1 hits, 10 Top 40 pop singles, 17 Top 40 Adult Contemporary tracks and

multiple Contemporary Christian chart-toppers. In addition to her six GRAMMY®

Awards, Grant has earned 26 GMA Dove Awards (including four Artist of the Year

Awards) and has been awarded a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame as well as

the Music City Walk of Fame and the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame.

Conventional wisdom has it that Grant put Contemporary Christian Music on the

map becoming the first Contemporary Christian artist to have a platinum record, the

first to hit No. 1 on the Pop charts and the first to perform at the GRAMMY®

Awards. With that, her legacy as one of the most influential artists of the past four

decades is assured. Most recently, The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts included Grant as one of their five

distinguished Honorees to receive the 45th Kennedy Center Honors for lifetime

artistic achievements.
