Dec. 7, 2009…Nashville, TN…INO Records’ singer/songwriter Phil Wickham received the highest chart placement of his career as his third studio album Heaven and Earth, debuted at No. 5 on the Christian music chart selling nearly 14k albums landing the No. 50 spot on Billboard’s Top 200 chart. Wickham also dominated the iTunes® Christian chart hitting the No. 1 spot during the week.

The critically acclaimed artist’s current single “Safe,” which features MercyMe’s Bart Millard, continues its sprint to the top of the chart currently placing in the Top 20 AC and Top 10 Soft AC/Inspo radio formats after 8 short weeks.

“The first week’s sales, radio’s embracement of the single, and the media’s high acclaim over the album is very rewarding, says INO’s SVP Marketing and Promotions Dan Michaels. “Wickham, along with his producer Pete Kipley, created a remarkable album.
