“Give Me Your Eyes” is also one of the most successful digital Christian tracks of 2008, currently holding the No. 1 spot on iTunes Christian chart for a 13th week. The track has sold 115,000 total downloads across all digital providers to date.

Dan Keen, vice president of ASCAP, notes, “You can tell how an artist treats people by who shows up to congratulate them on their successes. In Brandon Heath’s case, the #1 party for “Give Me Your Eyes” at ASCAP brought a full house that included the fantastic members of his team; publisher, manager, record label, booking agent, but also other managers, other publishers, other individuals who might be considered in competing business roles with Brandon and his team. They were there because the Christian music community loves and trusts Brandon Heath. His life and music draws out the best in people.”

“Give Me Your Eyes” is Heath’s second career radio No. 1. He first topped charts in 2007 with his Song of the Year nominated hit “I’m Not Who I Was.”

Last week, Brandon wrapped a national tour 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 raised more than $35,000 for IJM and Food for the Hungry received sponsorships for 560 kids.
