Heart in Motion
Encyclopedia : H : HE : HEA : Heart in Motion
Heart in Motion was the twelfth album by Christian pop singer Amy Grant, released in 1991 (see 1991 in music).
Heart in Motion solidified the fact that Amy Grant was moving away from straightforward Christian music, and shifting toward the mainstream. This proved to be true, when the lead single from the album, "Baby Baby," hit #1 on the pop chart, which was a first for Christian music. The album would go on to sell 5 million copies by the end of 1997, making it the best-selling Christian album ever.
The album was listed at #30 in the 2001 book, .
