BEC Recordings' artist Jeremy Camp is honored this week as his two current singles top the charts at AC and CHR formats. Camp's "No Matter What It Takes" grabs No. 1 at R&R's Christian CHR format as "Let It Fade" remains at the top on the R&R Christian AC Monitored and Indicator panels for the seventh week combined. "Let It Fade" is a multi-format smash as it was No. 1 at CHR in 2007. These singles mark Camp's 16th career No. 1 hits and the fifth top single from his latest project Beyond Measure (2006) making Jeremy Camp a multi-format artist with hit singles at all formats (CHR, AC, INSPO, and Rock).
Radio station KLTY's Mike Prendergast speaks of the radio impact that Camp continues to have, "Jeremy has really connected over the years with our audience, and continues to produce hit after hit!"
Reinforcing the aforementioned quote, Assistant Program Director from KDUV Shannon Steele, shares, "The day I met Jeremy Camp I knew this was a guy that was going to continue to pour his heart and soul into this industry and convey a message that connected with 'Heather.' Sixteen No. 1s later he's still writing songs that express his faith in a genuine way. Jeremy's songwriting comes from the best place of all...his genuine desire to reach people with the message of Christ."
These radio accomplishments follow Camp's successful run with the co-headline "Boomin' Beyond Measure" tour with TobyMac and special guest Matthew West, which hit 25+ key markets across the nation. Jumping into the summer, Camp will be preparing to headline all the major Christian festivals in the country.
After the busy touring season, Camp will enter the studio in May with acclaimed award winning producer Brown Bannister (Amy Grant, Steven Curtis Chapman, MercyMe). He will be recording his fourth studio project titled "Speaking Louder Than Before" currently set to release November 25, 2008.
