Australia's Hillsong United scores first #1 album

Contributed by: M Weber   on 6/12/2007

Australia's Hillsong United scored its first #1 album by landing atop the Billboard Top Christian/Gospel Albums chart with the release of their eighth CD, All of the Above. The CD also reached #1 on iTunes' chart of Christian music digital album sales and #60 on the Billboard Top 200.

All of the Above released on May 22nd in the United States and sold 10,505 units in the first week, putting it not only at the top of the Billboard Christian/Gospel Albums chart, but also #1 on the Nielsen Christian SoundScan chart, the first time Hillsong United has topped that chart. By comparison, the group's last record, United We Stand, opened at #14 on the Billboard Christian/Gospel chart in April 2006.

All of the Above's sales have most certainly benefited from United's recent slate of concert appearances throughout the U.S. in April and May. The energetic praise rockers crisscrossed the country with stops in Michigan, Virginia, Florida, Texas, Missouri, Tennessee, Minnesota and sold-out shows in Chicago and Los Angeles. After several shows in Canada recently, United returns to the U.S. for a few more dates. By the end of the summer, the band will have played to more than 150,000 in North America.

Hillsong United's goal for All of the Above is to inspire young people to do more than sing about their relationship with God. The band wants to see young people live out their faith in their communities. And, that message also underlines The I Heart Revolution (www.theiheartrevolution.com) recently launched by Hillsong United.
