7th Heaven is currently managed by NTD Management and signed to NTD Records. They were previously managed by Alec John Such of Bon Jovi and James Young of Styx in 1997-1998. They have sold 100,000 CDs to date. Their acclaimed Silver 30-tracks double CD released in 2004 was a popular release.[3][4][5]

The title of their 2008 release 14-track album USA-UK comes from joining of the Northern Ireland singer, Keith Semple joining the American AOR band.[6] Semple had been in Popstars: The Rivals a UK singing competition and had eventually become a member of boy band One True Voice during the period 2002-2003, before the band broke up.

The band released the album entitled Jukebox in 2010 on the occasion of the band's 25 years. It contains 15 cds with almost 300 of the band's song from its start to then.[7] They have also recorded another Semple-led album entitled Pop Media in 2011 containing 22 new songs.[8]

In January 2013, Keith Semple left the band and was replaced by Anthony Fedorov as lead singer.[9] In June of that year, they released the album Synergy. On August 22, 2013 the band announced that Fedorov was no longer in the band. After Federov's departure, Keith Semple became the band's temporary lead vocalist.[10]

On December 1, 2014, Adam Blair was announced as the new lead singer. Adam has also been in bands such as Dot Dot Dot, Adam and the Go Comets and The Fabulous Janes. Dot Dot Dot was featured on FOX's "The Next Great American Band"[citation needed]
