Christian music powerhouse Casting Crowns wraps the year up with an unparalleled impact on Christian music, securing the No1 top-selling album of 2007, a seventh No1 radio hit and the highest-grossing tour in Christian music with $4.4 million in ticket sales.
The Altar and the Door stands as the No1 album of the year according to SoundScan's Christian/Gospel year-end chart (week ending 12/9) with more than 450,000 units sold since debuting at No 2 on Billboard's Top 200 chart with historic first-week sales of 130,000 (Sept 2).
The RIAA Gold album spent 11 weeks in the No1 slot on the Top Christian Albums chart and held 13 weeks at No1 on iTunes.
