Hillsong Young & Free’s ‘Youth Revival’ Tops 10 Billboard Charts; Band Planning on Worldwide Tour
Hillsong Young & Free's "Youth Revival" skyrocketed to the top of the Billboard Praise & Worship Chart chart, as well as top 10 of Billboard's Digital Albums Chart.
The sophomore album of the Aussie band is a worthy followup to the "We are Young & Free" in 2013 which debuted at the top of Billboard's Top Christian Albums.
"The single, 'Where You Are,' is currently in the Top 5 at Hot AC," said the press release sent to Breathecast. "The music video supporting the song landed an exclusive video premiere on the homepage of MTV.com, plus broadcast rotation on MTV, MTV Hits and mtvU."
Band member Aodhan King, meanwhile, shared to Billboard, that going on a tour is part of the plan to get their message across.
"The plans are not finalized yet, but we will be touring in the United States, Australia and many places all over the world. We've worked on this project a long time, and we're ready to perform the songs for live audiences," she said.
For now, however, Hillsong Young & Free is busy promoting "Youth Revival."
As to what people can expect from the tour, King said it will be music and dancing along with prayer and worship.
"Fundamentally that's why we're there: to get our meaning across and worship the Lord. That's the ultimate mission from when the songwriting process initiates to when we're on stage."
Fellow band member Laura Toggs also added that Hillsong Young & Free's "Youth Revival" is a testament to their common purpose to praise God.
"The focus is not for us to become stars, it's about worshiping God," she said. "It's also about zeroing in on a person that might be lost, that the songs may inspire them to find God and find their path."
Hillsong Young & Free's "Youth Revival" can be downloaded through iTunes and Amazon.
