Best-selling worship leader Chris Tomlin recently celebrated the upcoming release of his fifth studio project, Hello Love (out September 2), his No 1 single "Jesus Messiah", and the RIAA Platinum Certification of both his 2004 release, Arriving, and the RIAA Gold Certification of 2006's See the Morning at a packed party at Ocean Way Studios in Nashville.

sixsteps/Sparrow Records presented the reigning three times Gospel Music Association Male Vocalist of the Year with the platinum and gold records, in the presence of special guests sixstep's Louie Giglio and EMI-CMG's Peter York. Tomlin later performed for the crowd full of family, friends and industry VIPs.

"I am completely overwhelmed and honoured to have the presentation of both a platinum and gold record simultaneous to the release of my next album, Hello Love," exclaimed Tomlin.

"I am thankful to share this moment with all the incredible people that have made this a reality. This is so much bigger than one person and I am humbled to be a part of it. It truly is the favour of God!"

The album's debut single "Jesus Messiah", released June 13, is the No 1 song on R&R's AC Indicator chart this week, and is currently No 3 on its Christian AC Monitored chart, No 2 on the INSPO chart, and No 23 on the CHR chart, after being the most added song on all formats including CHR in its first week out, thus making it the biggest ever add date for a single in Christian radio history
