Matt Redman's BEAUTIFUL NEWS Climbing Major Sales Charts

Brentwood, TN. (Top40 Charts/ Sparrow Records) - Matt Redman has penned hits for everyone from Michael W. Smith and Rebecca St. James to Kutless and Tree 63. But now, the British songsmith and worshiper is climbing the charts under his own name like never before with a new solo album, BEAUTIFUL NEWS, which hit stores just after Christmas.

Following its debut at No 19 on Billboard magazine's Heatseekers Chart, BEAUTIFUL NEWS leaped to No 4 in its second week of release. Likewise, the project climbed from No 7 to No 3 on Billboard's Top Christian Albums chart, and at iTunes, the popular worship set is the No 3 Top Downloaded Album in the Christian & Gospel category.

Media reviews for BEAUTIFUL NEWS have been equally momentous. CMCentral.com suggests the disc 'may in fact be his best release to date.' CBN.com says, 'Redman goes beyond the standard worship fare and brings us something we can sink our hearts into . . . (he) truly makes the Good News a thing of beauty.'

'We've written songs together, we've traveled to different countries together, and as close friends we've dreamed about reaching a generation for the glory of God. Chris's new tour is the next step on that exciting journey, and I'm absolutely delighted to be part of it.'
