Nashville, Tenn. (December 17, 2015) - Chris Tomlin's ADORE: Christmas Songs Of Worship has received overwhelming response since its October release, originally debuting atop Billboard's Holiday Albums Chart. ADORE continues to hold strong on the chart, just behind Pentatonix and Michael Buble, marking seven weeks straight in the top 3. Additionally, ADORE sits at No. 1 on Billboard's Top Christian Albums Chart, holding that spot for the third week in a row.

Songs from the album are resonating with listeners at radio, with "Noel (Feat. Lauren Daigle)" hitting No. 1 on the AC Monitored Chart and "He Shall Reign Forevermore" hitting No. 4.

ADORE will be included in a special segment about Christmas music airing this coming weekend on the national PBS television program "Religion & Ethics NewsWeekly." www.pbs.org/religionethics (Check local listings.)

Additional media outlets continue to highlight the album as well, with recent support from Yahoo Music, CCM Magazine, Guideposts, The Blaze, Keep The Faith, The New York Times, People Magazine and more.

Fans continue to show their enthusiasm for Tomlin's worshipful Christmas anthems, selling out every venue on the "ADORE Christmas Tour," featuring Crowder and Lauren Daigle. The tour wraps up this weekend in Phoenix.

With the closing of 2015, a year full of touring, new music and sold-out Worship Night In America events for Tomlin, he has earned several top spots on Billboard's year-end charts. Tomlin was named the Top Male Christian Artist and landed in the top 3 on both the Top Christian Artists Chart and Christian Albums Artists charts. Love Ran Red took the No. 3 spot on the Christian Albums chart. For a full list of year-end honors, click here.
