Mercy Me, Hillsong Worship & Alan Jackson Win 2018 Billboard Music Awards

May 21 2018

MercyMe earned a Top Christian Artist win at last night’s 2018 Billboard Music Awards. The top honor marks the first win for the band who has garnered a dozen BBMA nods throughout the course of their career thus far. Additionally, the multi-platinum selling band eclipsed all categories for their genre at this year’s show with recognition in the Top Christian Album (LIFER) and Top Christian Song (“Even If”) categories.

“We never set out to write, make music & tour for an award, but to have Billboard send this honor our way means a great deal to us,” shares the band. “It has been unreal to see the Lord use the power of music and stories to permeate lives. Thank you to Billboard for being so kind to us throughout our career, especially with this award, and thank you to the fans for sharing in this journey with us.”

Top Christian Song went to Hillsong Worship for 'What A Beautiful Name' and Top Christian Album was Alan Jackson's 'Precious Memories Collection'.
