During her award-winning 30-year music career, Amy Grant has sold more than 30 million albums around the world. EMI CMG Label Group and EMI Music Marketing have partnered with Amy Grant Productions for an in-depth global catalog campaign, including remastered catalog titles and digital sales initiatives.

In the U.S., the new title has been released by Sparrow/EMI America Records.

Amy Grant: Greatest Hits features 19 tracks culled from all of Grant’s studio albums, including nine #1 and nine Top 5 Pop and Contemporary Christian chart hits. The Special Edition’s DVD adds more than an hour of exclusive content, including a new 40-minute interview with Grant about her career, a rare acoustic performance (audio), five music videos, a photo gallery, a bonus ringtune and a complementary three-month trial membership to the official FOA (Friends Of Amy) Fan Club.

In addition to the release of Greatest Hits, Amy Grant’s three holiday titles, Christmas Album, Home For Christmas, and A Christmas To Remember, will be reissued on CD and will be premiered digitally across all major DSPs on October 2. In addition, several of Grant’s music videos will be made available for digital download for the first time that day.

Through early 2008, Grant is touring across North America with her husband Vince Gill and the Del McCoury Band. Several Mosaic book tour stops are scheduled in October and November at major book retailers across the U.S., and Grant’s upcoming TV appearances include ABC’s “The View” on October 16.

Amy Grant has sold more than 30 million albums worldwide, and she has achieved unparalleled success as a crossover Contemporary Christian artist. In the U.S. alone, Grant’s achievements include nine platinum and platinum-plus albums and nine gold albums, six Grammy Awards and 21 Gospel Music Association Dove Awards. She is well-known as the pioneering Christian singer whose success on mainstream radio opened doors for other Christian artists.
