(Nashville, Tenn.) Oct. 30, 2008 – Singer/songwriter and Christian music’s New Artist of the Year Brandon Heath was honored on Music Row this week in his Nashville hometown with a “#1 Party” hosted by ASCAP for his smash radio hit “Give Me Your Eyes.” The song is the first single off Heath’s new sophomore album What If We, and tops Billboard’s Hot Christian AC chart for a sixth consecutive week, while spending a tenth week at No. 1 on R&R’s CHR chart. “Give Me Your Eyes is reaching 25 million in radio impressions this week, which compares to the weekly impressions of a No.1 song on both Mainstream AC and Hot AC charts, No. 6 on the Country charts and No.15 on the Top 40 chart.

“Give Me Your Eyes” is also one of the most successful digital Christian tracks of 2008, currently holding the No. 1 spot on iTunes Christian chart for a 13th week. The track has sold 115,000 total downloads across all digital providers to date.

Dan Keen, vice president of ASCAP, notes, “You can tell how an artist treats people by who shows up to congratulate them on their successes. In Brandon Heath’s case, the #1 party for “Give Me Your Eyes” at ASCAP brought a full house that included the fantastic members of his team; publisher, manager, record label, booking agent, but also other managers, other publishers, other individuals who might be considered in competing business roles with Brandon and his team. They were there because the Christian music community loves and trusts Brandon Heath. His life and music draws out the best in people.”

“Give Me Your Eyes” is Heath’s second career radio No. 1. He first topped charts in 2007 with his Song of the Year nominated hit “I’m Not Who I Was.”

Last week, Brandon wrapped a national tour with Sara Groves as part of the Art*Music*Justice Tour featuring Derek Webb, Sandra McCracken and Charlie Peacock, benefitting both the International Justice Mission and Food For the Hungry. The tour raised more than $35,000 for IJM and Food for the Hungry received sponsorships for 560 kids.

The smash debut also contributed to Heath's first Songwriter of the Year nomination, and win in the New Artist of the Year category at the 2008 GMA Dove Awards in April.
