Third Day Collects Grammy Number Three

|PIC1|Grammy and Dove Award-winning rock band Third Day received its third career GRAMMY yesterday for the RIAA (Recording Industry Association of America) Gold certified Wherever You Are in the Pop Contemporary Gospel Album category.

From its seven previous nods, the band has been awarded Grammys for both Wire and Come Together, each RIAA Certified Gold.

Caught up in the celebratory moment, a very thoughtful Tai Anderson offered, "Wherever You Are seemed to connect to our fans in a more meaningful way than any of our previous recordings. To have it be recognised by the Grammys is an incredible affirmation for both the band and our fans."

"I always say the cliché 'it's great just to be nominated'. And it's true. But I tell you what, it sure is more fun to win! What an honour for us to win another Grammy! It doesn't get old!" said Mac Powell.

Recently releasing their first Christmas worship album, Christmas Offerings, and wrapping up a successful headlining tour on November 19, the band is excited about kicking off 2007 with such momentum behind Chronology, Volume One (1996-2000) which drops March 27, followed by Chronology, Volume Two which hits retail, August 7.

Over the past decade, Third Day has amassed 24 No1 radio singles and sold almost six million albums, with RIAA certifications including one Platinum record, one Platinum DVD, and six Gold records. The band has garnered 24 career Dove Awards, two GRAMMY Awards (from seven previous nominations), two consecutive American Music Award nods, multiple ASCAP honours, and has developed a historic partnership with Chevrolet.
