Phillips, Craig and Dean earn highest retail chart debut in career

|PIC1|Phillips, Craig and Dean has landed another career high with Fearless selling over 10,000 units in its first week, garnering the top spot on the Current Contemporary Retail chart, while their hit single “Revelation Song” holds on to No. 1 on both the AC and INSPO radio charts.

Fearless was also the band’s highest debut ever on the Billboard Top 200, landing at No 46. In addition, Phillips, Craig and Dean’s latest project was the highest new entry on the Christian SoundScan charts claiming the No 2 position.

In the midst of its success at radio, “Revelation Song” was the No. 1 most downloaded single track this week on Christian/Gospel Digital Tracks (both current and overall).

Uniquely gifted and positioned in their dual roles as musicians and full-time senior pastors in three different US cities, Randy Phillips, Shawn Craig and Dan Dean know well the current struggles people in their congregations face, which is where the compelling idea behind Fearless was created.

Produced by Bernie Herms (Casting Crowns), the 10 track album features songs co-written by each band member including “The Distance,” “Nothing to Prove” and “The Spirit of God is Here”.

The band will continue to tour the country this fall in support of their newest release.

Since forming, Phillips, Craig & Dean has released 10 albums which has produced 16 No 1 radio hits, two million plus records sold and nine Dove Award nominations.
