BMI Soars at Dove Awards

Posted in News on April 23, 2000

Steven Curtis Chapman won six Dove Awards during the Gospel Music Association’s 31^st annual ceremony (4/20), bringing his career total to a record 44 Doves. On the strength of his Sparrow album Speechless, he was named Artist of the Year and Male Vocalist of the Year; Speechless and the single "Dive" each brought him a pair of trophies (as artist/producer and artist/songwriter, respectively) in their Pop/Contemporary categories.

Chapman, who became the first performer to win Artist of the Year six times, now has won at least one Dove Award for each of 12 consecutive years.

BMI double winners were Group of the Year Sixpence None the Richer, Fred Hammond, Dottie Peoples and Richard Smallwood.

BMI writer Wes King shared the coveted Song of the Year trophy with Michael W. Smith for "This Is Your Time," inspired in the aftermath of the Columbine High School shooting in Colorado. The song is co-published by Sparrow Song and Uncle Ivan Music.
