The official press release...

BRANDON HEATH TAKES NO. 1 SPOT AT AC RADIO
WITH FIRST SINGLE "GIVE ME YOUR EYES" OFF
SOPHOMORE ALBUM WHAT IF WE

Multi-Format Hit Song Remains No. 1 for Fifth Week on R&R CHR;
Tops iTunes Chart for Tenth Consecutive Week with
More Than 70,000 Single Downloads

(Nashville, Tenn.) Sept. 23, 2008 – This week, singer/songwriter and New Artist of the Year Brandon Heath garners his second career radio No. 1 on R&R's AC-Monitored chart with the breakout first single "Give Me Your Eyes," off the new sophomore album What If We. With a No.1 at AC, the project's smash song proves to be a multi-format success story spending a fifth week at No. 1 on R&R's CHR chart, with multiple weeks atop CRW's CHR format and 153 million cumulative radio impressions to date. Heath first topped radio charts in 2007 with his Song of the Year nominated hit "I'm Not Who I Was." 

Brandon notes, "'Give Me Your Eyes' is a song about my own convictions for wanting to see the world with compassionate eyes. It's really encouraging to see that other people agree." He adds, "Thanks to everyone who believed in the song early, and to the Provident radio team."

In addition to radio achievements, "Give Me Your Eyes" is quickly becoming one of the most successful digital Christian tracks of 2008, currently holding the No. 1 spot on iTunes Christian chart for its tenth consecutive week. The track has sold more than 70,000 total downloads across all digital providers to date.  

While the single draws on-air support at radio, stations across the country are also rallying the concept behind Heath's provocative, humanitarian-minded album title What If We. Recent promotions include local blood drives asking listeners, "What If We Save a Life," and an outreach to Chicago's oldest rescue mission in a "What If We Change Chicago" station campaign. The concept has spurred partnerships with the national K'Love radio network, Mardel retail stores and The Red Cross. On Sept. 30, the What If We concept will take the form of a "Drive-Thru Difference" in St.Paul, MN., with KTIS radio in which Brandon will be participating in random acts of kindness throughout the day in drive-thru lines around the twin cities. 

The new music video for "Give Me Your Eyes" is also available at iTunes and Heath remains Gospel Music Channel's "Listen Up" artist of the month for Aug. and Sept. Brandon is currently on the road with Sara Groves as part of the Art*Music*Justice Tour featuring Derek Webb, Sandra McCracken and Charlie Peacock, benefitting both the International Justice Mission and Food For the Hungry.  The tour is a unique concert opportunity seeking to further educate the church on God's heart for justice, gain advocates for the oppressed, and show evidence of a God at work in this world.
