Date Posted: October 22,2001

    In promotion of their best-selling sophomore release, Press On, Dove Award-winning Curb recording artist Selah will be appearing on a number of national television programs this fall. The group will perform their current single, "Wonderful, Merciful Savior," at the Crystal Cathedral for an upcoming broadcast of "The Hour of Power," and will be guests on FamilyNet's "At Home-- Live!", which is scheduled to air October 30. In addition, Selah will be featured on two programs of "Life Today with James Robison," both slated to air the week prior to Christmas, during a series of shows focusing on world missions.

Since the June 12 release of Press On,the album has spent 16 consecutive weeks on The CCM Update's Christian Retail Best-Sellers chart. In addition, Press On reached the #1 position on SoundScan's Top Inspirational Albums chart, while the title-cut spent two weeks atop The CCM Update's Inspirational Top 20 chart. Most recently, the album debuted in the Top 20 on CBA Marketplace's Best-Sellers Christian Albums chart, according to the publication's October issue.

"We're incredibly pleased with the success of Press On since its release in June, yet we've only scratched the surface," said Jeff Tuerff, vice president, marketing, Curb Records. "The sales success reflects the hard-working efforts of the group as well as the commitment and passion that Curb Records has for Selah. The sounds of Selah represent a style that knows no boundaries as their artistic and vocal abilities truly captivate any audience."

"Word Distribution and Curb Records have continued to enjoy sales momentum on Selah's Press On," said Mark Funderburg, president of sales and distribution, Word Entertainment. "We currently have over 13 million impressions in place through the post-holiday season and have several initiatives set to continue securing sales for this group. Multiple online and in-store promotions and contests are planned for the next few months, with winners receiving a free Selah concert in their home church. It's exciting and rewarding to be involved with a group that offers such a comforting and timely message."

"In tough times, people often turn to the older hymns and classics-- which Selah has chosen to focus on-- as an encouragement to continue pressing forward and a reassurance that God is still in control," said Brian Jannsen, Jannsen Management. "It is such a joy to work with people that not only have great talent, but want first and foremost for Jesus Christ to be honored in all that they do."

"Wonderful, Merciful Savior," the second single from Press On, was the highest debut at #15 on The CCM Update's Inspirational Top 20 chart, according to the publication's October 1 issue. The single was also the highest gainer, reaching the #11 position on The CCM Update's Inspirational Top 20 chart, according to the publication's October 8 issue. In addition, "Timeless" was recently serviced to Christian adult contemporary formats, with "Hold On" being serviced to gospel stations.

In December, Word Music is slated to release "The Selah Songbook," which features arrangements of the songs on Press On, as well as several selections from Selah's Dove Award-winning Curb debut, Be Still My Soul.
