TobyMacTobyMac is laying the foundations to make 2015 one of the biggest years of his career. His brand new studio single “Beyond Me” received 80 adds combined across Christian AC-Monitored, AC-Indicator and Hot AC last week, and his GRAMMY Award-winning album Eye On It also received Recording Industry Association of America Gold Certification.

During a staff presentation at Capitol Christian Music Group (CCMG), President & CEO Bill Hearn also recognized that this honor represents a first for an artist in CCMG history, with each one of TobyMac’s five studio solo projects achieving Gold certification.

“The fact that Eye On It, and now all five of TobyMac’s albums, have been certified Gold by the RIAA is a testimony to how deeply his music resonates with music lovers all over the world,” said Bill Hearn, president and CEO of Capitol Christian Music Group. “This remarkable achievement is also a first for any artist at Capitol Christian Music Group. The team at Capitol could not be more proud of our history and now extended partnership with the iconic TobyMac.”

Available now and already a hit, TobyMac’s “Beyond Me” is the first new single from his latest studio album. In addition to “Beyond Me,” TobyMac also released two new remixed versions of the single—“Phenomenon Remix” by Soul Glow Activatur and “Moodswing Remix.” The tracks are available now at all download and streaming music services.

As he puts the final touches on his new album, TobyMac is gearing up to head out on tour this March along with GRAMMY® winner Mandisa and electric pop duo, Capital Kings. TobyMac will perform songs from Eye On It, as well as some new tracks from the upcoming album. For dates and ticket information, visit tobymac.com/tour.
