Hillary Scott & The Scott Family top the Billboard Top Christian Albums chart and secure the No. 2 postion on the Billboard Top Country Album’s chart this week with the critically acclaimed debut album LOVE REMAINS (EMI Nashville), after moving over 31,000 units in its first week. Its “heart-stopping” (Rolling Stone) lead single “Thy Will” also claims the No. 1 position on Billboard’s Hot Christian Songs for the second week while dominating Billboard’s Christian Digital Songs for its eight consecutive week.

The 13-track collection LOVE REMAINS offers “impressively tight harmonies and emotional performances” (Billboard) from Hillary, mother Linda Davis, father Lang Scott and younger sister Rylee. Mainstream music critics continue to praise the “stirring new album” (Nashville Lifestyles).

“It’s striking — a collection of hymns and contemporary Christian music delivered with extreme polish.” – New York Times

“The music includes contemporary Christian pop and country, along with distinct nods to bluegrass, Southern spirituals and traditional gospel music.” – Associated Press

“A sweet, powerful celebration of faith and family harmony, LOVE REMAINS is grounded in love.” – Rolling Stone

“Fans find their own sense of peace while listening to the new music.” – CMT

“A tenderhearted family collaboration…they are simple songs of faith, both old and new, all affirming that no low valley is without some high hill. Ricky Skaggs’ production gently blends bluegrass and gospel.” – People

“The stories behind the songs are personal, but were created to share a message of joy and hope through difficult times.” – Southern Living

LOVE REMAINS follows more than 18 million album sales worldwide for Hillary Scott as one-third of the one of the world’s most popular groups, Lady Antebellum.

Hillary Scott (leaving a mark) OC: …leaving a mark. 1:20
“I have always really tried to be an open book, you know? And I think everybody can see that. Over the years of being in the public eye, and if you’re a friend in my personal life, ya know outside of work. I think for me, a lot of this record is just about wanting to say something that is real, and authentic and wanting, I feel like I’ve always tried to be truly who I am to people. It doesn’t get more ‘me’ than these songs…and a lot of it is the me I’m trying to be. It’s not the me that I necessarily am right now. It’s the me that I hope to continue to grow into and, I think now as a mother to a beautiful little girl, you think a lot about what you’re gonna leave behind. Even though, I just had a birthday, and I’m not that old [LAUGHS]…but it’s just, like what you want to teach your children, what you want them to teach their friends, and their children, and with my family on it, I think that is an even more a part of the heart of this project. I mean, this isn’t just me leaving a legacy, this is my parents leaving a legacy. And in honor of the life that they’ve lived, and the loss that they’ve had, and the dreams that they’ve had come true, all of it. It’s about leaving a mark.”
