The winners of the 52nd Annual Grammy Awards were announced yesterday, 31st January, at the awards ceremony in Los Angeles' Staples Center. In the Christian music categories there were wins for, Third Day who won Best Rock or Rap Gospel Album for their 'Live Revelations' album, their fourth Grammy Award to date, Mary Mary who won Best Gospel Song for 'God In Me' from their album 'The Sound', Israel Houghton who won Best Pop/Contemporary Gospel Album for 'The Power Of One' and Donnie McClurkin who won Best Gospel Performance for 'Wait On The Lord' from 'We All Are One (Live In Detroit)'.
Third Day's Tai Anderson said, "Third Day has incredible fans; we didn't want to rest until we gave them the best record we knew we could make. On our last studio project, Revelation, Howard Benson challenged us to make the best music of our career. When we took it out on the road, we wanted to do it justice in our live performance. Live Revelation: On Stage, Off Stage, Backstage is an album we're very proud of and we're honored that the Academy would recognize it with a GRAMMY tonight."
Third Day have previously won Grammy Awards for their albums 'Come Together' (2002), 'Wire' (2005) and 'Wherever You Are' (2006).
