On the heels of sell out shows, critical acclaim and multi-format radio hits, Jeremy Camp is celebrating a huge first week of sales with his latest recording, Beyond Measure. Camp’s fourth studio project sold over 30,000 scans, placing it at No. 29 on the Billboard Top 200 chart, and No. 2 on the Top Contemporary Christian SoundScan chart.
As Camp’s Beyond Measure tour rolls across the country, Camp, along with tourmates Hawk Nelson and Adie, are being welcomed by sold out crowds. The tour has already sold out in markets including Ft worth, Cincinnati, Grand Rapids, Portland and Spokane, with tour dates averaging 2500/night.
"We went into this tour with the fans in mind,” stated Matt Balm, Camp’s manager. “We have a section for 150 fans that are hand picked before the show to go down front, which has been great and creates high energy right before the show starts. Also in most of the markets we kept tickets at $20 and below, and I think that has helped contribute to this tour being our most succesful tour yet."
Also captivating fans are Camp’s first two radio singles from Beyond Measure. With over 4,800,000 audience impressions at AC, CHR and rock this week, “What It Means” is already Top 5 on three charts, including #3 on R&R’s Christian AC chart, #5 on its AC Indicator chart, and # 5 on the CHR chart. “Tonight” jumped eleven spots to #11 last week from #22.
From sales to radio and from media to touring, Jeremy Camp is continuing to make a definitive mark in the industry with his hit songs and ability to capture audiences of all ages. Being named “Songwriter of the Year” in 2006, and awarded in 2005 and 2006 for “Song of the Year”, at the 28th Annual ASCAP Christian Music Awards, Camp has marked his place in the Christian Music Industry. With an amazing nine No. 1 back to back radio hits under his belt, Camp has graced the covers of Pollstar, CCM, Breakaway and Christian Music Planet, and has also garnered praise from such publications as Billboard, CCM, CRW and R&R, and CCM named him 2005’s Reader’s Choice for Favorite Artist and Favorite Male Artist.
