Worldwide is the seventh studio album by the Christian modern rock band Audio Adrenaline, released on February 25, 2003 by ForeFront Records.
Worldwide sees Audio A forging forward with a wall of sound that merges the band's pop sensibilities with all-out edgy modern rock. Charlie Peacock has produced and arranged the album's five tracks including the lead single "Pierced" with Jason Burkum producing the other six tracks. "Leaving 99" is another hit from the band, pretty much in the vein of "Ocean Floor" with lead vocals done solely by Tyler Burkum. It charted on both the Billboard and Radio & Records Christian radio charts. "Ocean Floor" (from their previous album Lift) reappears as a Christian AC radio remix version as a bonus track. To go along with the album, a live concert DVD titled Alive was released featuring concert footage of the band performing songs from Worldwide, as well as concert favorites like "Big House" and "Hands and Feet." It was filmed at the Alive Festival at Clay's Park in Canal Fulton, Ohio.
Worldwide debuted and peaked at number 4 and number 116 on the Billboard Top Christian Albums and Billboard 200 Albums charts, respectively.
In 2004 after four previous nominations, Audio A won their first Grammy Award for Best Rock Gospel Album at the 46th Grammy Awards and were nominated for
three Dove Awards for Rock/Contemporary Album of the Year, Rock Recorded Song of the Year for the track "Dirty" and Long Form Video of the Year for their concert DVD Alive.
