The super-talented and highly respected gospel recording artist, CeCe Winans,
racks up another gold album. The CD, Throne Room,
recently received the official RIAA certified gold seal, surpassing the
500,000 unit sold mark. The CD was destined for success after
PureSprings Gospel, Winans’ label, launched a national grass- root campaign,
visiting several churches over the course of six weeks, in conjunction
with retail and mass marketing efforts by partnering labels EPIC and INO.
The campaign was so well received it evolved into a 30-City church
tour. “I am honored, excited and blessed to have been a part of a
project that is life changing; for that we are grateful”, says Winans. The
CD debuted at #1 on both the Billboard Gospel & Contemporary Music
Gospel Charts; and experience high ranking chart action on
Billboard’s R&B and Pop Charts. Although Winans’ music has always
experience great cross-over appeal, this was her best solo chart showing to
date.
PureSprings/Epic/INO can look for more movement on the charts and activity in
sells as they embark upon the second leg of the Throne Room Tour coming up in
the fall, with the dates to be announced in the near future (check

experience CeCe live; they can either catch one of the fall tour dates, or enjoy
the live experience from the comforts of their home. For those who
have attended one of the concerts, and felt once was not enough, they can look
forward to the 90-minute concert DVD of Winans belting out some of
their favorite tunes such as : “Everlasting Love”, “Anybody Want To Pray?”,
“More Than What I Wanted”, “Alabaster Box”, “Hallelujah Praise”, “ Jesus,
You’re Beautiful” and many more. “The testimonies that have come from the people
we meet, letters we receive, and all the phone calls have been overwhelming.
We’re simply humbled at how this CD has touched so many lives,” states Demetrus
Stewart, President of PureSprings. This state-of-the-art DVD was recorded
with five cameras and an in-stereo surround sound to capture that live
experience in every aspect; featuring some special behind the scenes
footage. Throne Room DVD will be in stores September 14, and will
be a perfect gift for the holidays.
