Award-winning group Selah recently surpassed sales of 1 million units, following Family Christian Stores’ special promotion of the Rose of Bethlehem recording, which began earlier this fall.

"Selah’s success has grown with the release of each new project,” said Benson Curb, Vice President Of Sales, Curb Records. “They gain new fans every day, and it is clear from a sales standpoint that Selah is making great music people want to own."

Known for their fresh interpretations of hymns and classic Christian songs, Selah’s debut, "Be Still My Soul," released in 1999 and was followed by Press On (2001), Rose of Bethlehem (2002), Hiding Place (2004) and Greatest Hymns (2005), all of which have sold a combined total of more than 1 million units.

Rose of Bethlehem also recently reached #1 on Billboard’s Top Pop Catalog chart, and the #3 position on the magazine’s Top Holiday Albums chart, alongside classic Christmas recordings by such artists as Bing Crosby, Harry Connick, Jr. and Celine Dion.

Earlier this year, Selah’s Greatest Hymns debuted at #1 on Nielsen SoundScan’s Christian Retail chart. The compilation brings together performances of 12 hymns from the group’s three previous studio recordings, as well as three selections available for the first time on a Selah recording.

Nominated for Artist of the Year and Group of the Year at the 2005 GMA Music Awards, Selah’s best-selling 2004 recording, Hiding Place, featured the multi-format Christian radio #1 "You Raise Me Up." This spring, the group was featured on Michael W. Smith’s "Healing Rain" Tour. Since their debut in 1999, Selah has garnered eight Top 10 Christian radio singles and three Dove Awards for Inspirational Album of the Year, along with a 2002 Dove for Traditional Gospel Recorded Song for "Hold On."
