Hillsong United - a_CROSS//the_EARTH: Tear Down The Walls
The Austrailian rock band, Hillsong United has made it to the #2 position on the U.S. iTunes Top Albums chart with the live album a_CROSS//the_EARTH: Tear Down The Walls.

A musical dark horse on the iTunes chart, a_CROSS//the_EARTH: Tear Down The Walls catapulted over mainstream competition last week from Adam Lambert, Keith Urban, Green Day and Lady GaGa.

Fans have been generating standing-room-only ticket sales for Hillsong United on the North American leg of the group's a_CROSS//the_EARTH Spring Tour 2009 (please see itinerary following). On Wednesday night (May 27), Hillsong United sold-out the 12,000 seat Verizon Amphitheatre in Alpharetta, Georgia, just outside Atlanta, delighting their ecstatic fans with an evening's worth of electrifying spirit-filled rock presented in an astounding concert environment of state-of-the-art light and sound.

a_CROSS//the_EARTH: Tear Down The Walls, the latest in a line of live Hillsong United albums beginning with 1999's Everyday, has been drawing rave reviews:

Kevin Davis, writing for the Christian Music Review, called the album "...a must have for your praise and worship collection."

Andree Farias, in Christian Music Today, found "...a combination of stadium-sized praise rockers and ballads..." in the album while "Hillsong United goes back to their old ways with energy and passion....In case you've been living under a rock, take heed: Hillsong United is the biggest youth worship band on the planet.

"Hillsong United return with their first live CD recording since 2006," wrote Leigh DeVore in Charisma magazine. "a_CROSS//the_EARTH: Tear Down The Walls features 12 songs, including 11 new tracks, in Hillsong United's signature power, pop-rock worship melodies. The crowd stays involved on this rousing CD, with its good mix of feet-stomping tracks and heart-moving ballads....Hillsong United continue to usher crowds into the presence of God with energetic, faith-building songs. Fans will be so glad to hear them again...."
