Tyscot Records is sweating through a hot summer of hits as the legendary recording label earns two Dove Award nominations for its affiliated artists, Anthony Brown & group therAPy and Bri (Briana Babineaux). The former’s latest Billboard Top Ten radio smash, “Trust in You,” from its No. 1 album A Long Way From Sunday, earned the group a nomination for Contemporary Gospel/Urban Recorded Song of the Year. Cajun crooner, Bri (Briana Babineaux), earned a nomination in the prestigious mainstream category of New Artist of the Year. The 48th annual GMA Dove Awards take place October 17, 2017 @6:30 PM at Lipscomb University’s Allen Arena in Nashville, TN.
The August heat continues as Bri’s soul-shaking remake of Tonex’s 2004 hit, “Make Me Over,” debuts at No. 1 on Billboard’s Gospel Digital Songs sales chart. Meanwhile, Anthony Brown & group therAPy’s “Trust in You” rose from No. 20 last week to No. 4 on the same chart, a 139% sales increase. Download Bri’s track at http://smarturl.it/
