His follow-up,?Carolina,?also certified gold, spawned top hits ?Love Your Love The Most,? ?Hell On The Heart,? and the single Church calls his game-changer, ?Smoke A Little Smoke.? Awarded the ACM New Solo Vocalist of the Year Award in April 2011, Church celebrated the chart-topping release of his third studio album,?CHIEF,?shortly after in July 2011 with sales exceeding 145,000 in the first week--landing him at the top of the?Billboard?Albums chart. Moreover,?CHIEF?topped numerous ?Best of 2011? lists including those compiled by?Rolling Stone, iTunes, Amazon, NPR, SPIN?and more and even garnered Church his first GRAMMY nomination for Country Album of the Year. The success of the record and outpour of fans? support drove Church to launch a 2012 arena headlining tour,?The Blood, Sweat & Beers Tour,?in January 2012, with?Pollstar?naming the tour a Top 10 within the first quarter. In June 2012, less than a year after its release,?CHIEF?became RIAA-certified platinum with the help of Church?s first two No. 1 singles, ?Drink In My Hand? and ?Springsteen.? The acclaimed performer has since been a featured performer on the ACM Awards, CMT Awards, ABC?s televised special,?CMA Music Festival: Country?s Night to Rock, and most recently on the CMA Awards where he was the most-nominated artist and took home the award for Album of the Year. With his latest single from?CHIEF, ?Like Jesus Does,? swiftly moving up the?Billboard?charts, and seven 2013 ACM nominations, Church is preparing for a live album release of?Caught In The Act: Live?on April 9, 2013 and a series of stadium performance alongside Kenny Chesney this spring.
