Congrats to Hillsong UNITED on Their First #1

Since the release of ZION in February of 2013, the lead single, "Oceans" continues to chart on four Billboard charts. The tune has spent 13 weeks on the Hot 100, 31 weeks on the Christian Digital Songs Chart, 31 weeks on the Hot Christian Songs Chart and 22 weeks on the Christian Streaming Songs chart. And for the past 22 weeks, the song has been the #1 Hot Christian Song in America.

In a press release, Grant Hubbard, Capitol CMG Label Group's Vice President/National Promotion, talked about the excitement, saying, "Last year when ZION released, we saw 'Oceans' climb the sales charts as well as the positive fan response to this song. Knowing the song was so special and resonating with the listeners, we wanted to get it into the hands of the radio programmers. UNITED continues to make history with this album and this song, and we are so thrilled to see them receive their first well-deserved No. 1 radio single."

Last year, UNITED had a spectacular year. ZION reached the top of iTunes and debuted at #5 on the Billboard Top 200. The worship group took the music on the road, touring around the world. They sold out top venues in the U.S. - Hollywood Bowl, Radio City Music Hall and Red Rocks Amphitheatre.

This year UNITED released The White Album [Remix Project], which debuted at #1 on the Billboard Dance/Electric Albums chart. The official lyrics video for "Oceans" has received over 10 million views and its popularity grows every day.
