Mary Mary is the third studio album by American duo Mary Mary. It was released by Columbia Records on July 19, 2005 in the United States, selling 57,000 copies in its first week.[1] In 2006, the album won a Dove Award for Contemporary Gospel Album of the Year at the 37th GMA Dove Awards.[2]
The album was listed among the 52 CD releases from Sony BMG that were identified as having been shipped with the controversial Extended Copy Protection (XCP) computer software,[3][4] which has been known to cause a number of serious security problems in any Microsoft Windows computer that had the CD inserted at one time and has been regarded as a trojan horse, spyware, or rootkit by a number of security software vendors.[5] Sony discontinued use of the technology on November 11, 2005,[6] and recalled this and other titles affected by XCP, and asked customers to submit copies affected by the software to the company so that it could replace them with copies that did not contain the software.[7]
