Grammy nomination caps a great year for Laura Story

It's been a great year for Fair Trade Services recording artist Laura Story.

She garnered five Dove nominations, had a No 1 hit song, and released a best-selling album, Blessings.

And to cap it all off, she has received her first ever Grammy nomination in the category "Best Contemporary Christian Music Song" for the title-track off Blessings.

Grammy winners will be announced at a star-studded ceremony at the Staples Center in LA on February 12.

“Blessings” the single went No 1 at the US-based Christian AC, Inspo and the National charts for multiple weeks.

In addition, the song also held the No 1 spot on the iTunes Christian/Gospel Top Songs chart for 28 consecutive weeks.

The album meanwhile debuted at No 4 on Soundscan's Overall chart.

This year's success is another leap in her remarkable career as a talented worship leader and songwriter.

She made her music debut in 2008 with her first release, Great God Who Saves, and her writing credits include "Indescribable", made famous by Chris Tomlin.
