Steven Curtis Chapman's "Speechless" Turns Sweet 16

Contemporary Christian music singer and songwriter Steven Speechless' ninth studio album "Speechless" just turned sweet 16. The album was released on June 15, 1999, by Sparrow Records. It was certified platinum, selling over 1 million copies, by the RIAA on November 27, 2000. Chapman also received the 2000 Grammy Award for Best Pop/Contemporary Gospel Album and Dove Awards for Pop/Contemporary Album of the Year and Pop/Contemporary Recorded Song of the Year (for "Dive").
