Passion’s first record, Our Soul’s Desire, was released in 1997 under Star Song Records. After Star Song artists transferred to Sparrow Records,[2] Passion released two more live albums, including 1999’s Better Is One Day, which saw Passion charting on the Billboard Christian Albums chart for the first time.[3] In 2000, Passion Conferences founded sixstepsrecords as a division of Passion Conferences.[4] As partners of Sparrow Records, a division of Capitol CMG, sixstepsrecords has many prominent contemporary Christian musicians under their label.[5][6] Their first album on the newly created label, The Road to One Day, became the first Passion album to chart on the Billboard 200.[7] Since the creation of sixstepsrecords, Passion has released more than twenty more live albums and two studio albums, nine of which have consecutively charted at No. 1 on the Billboard Christian Albums chart.[3][8] The lead single off of 2012’s live album White Flag, “One Thing Remains“, became Passion’s first No. 1 song on the Billboard Christian Songs chart.[9] Passion’s Let The Future Begin (2013) and Take It All (2014) both peaked at No. 4 on the Billboard 200, making them Passion’s highest charting albums.[3]
