Amy Grant Career
Grant is a singer, songwriter, and musician from the United States. In the 1980s and 1990s, she began singing contemporary Christian music before transitioning to mainstream music. Amy, a Christian pop singer, released her eighth studio album, Heart in Motion, on March 5, 1991. The album, which included Grant’s biggest international hit, “Baby Baby,” was certified 5 platinum in the United States after selling over 5 million copies. Heart in Motion topped the Christian albums chart for 32 weeks and peaked at No. 10 on the Billboard 200. Five million copies had been sold by the end of 1997. The title of the album appears in the first single, “Baby Baby,” which reached No. 1 on both the Billboard Hot 100 and the UK Singles Chart.
The subsequent four songs, “Every Heartbeat” (No. 2 Hot 100, No. 2 AC), “That’s What Love Is For” (No. 7 Hot 100, No. 1 AC), “Good for Me” (No. 8 Hot 100, No. 4 AC), and “I Will Remember You,” also did well on the pop and AC charts (No. 20 Hot 100, No. 2 AC). The album was certified 5 platinum by the RIAA for sales of more than 5 million copies, making it the best-selling Christian music album ever recorded. It was ranked No. 30 in the 2001 book The 100 Greatest Albums in Christian Music.
At the 1992 Grammy Awards, the album was nominated for Album of the Year, which went to Natalie Cole’s Unforgettable… with Love. Amy Grant Productions remastered the album for its 30th anniversary on July 9, 2021, with Capitol Christian Music Group handling distribution. The album’s remastered version also included a second disc of outtakes, remixes, and demos. Despite having a minor hit single with “Takes a Little Time,” the album did not achieve the same level of success as its predecessors, both of which were multi-platinum. Behind The Eyes was eventually certified Gold by the RIAA. Grant’s career took a new direction in the music video for “Takes a Little Time,” which featured an acoustic guitar and a blue light filter.
