Upon hitting iTunes, the album instantly shot to No. 1 on the Christian Albums Chart, quickly making its way to the Top 3 albums overall, just behind Adele and Justin Bieber.

Featuring Chris Tomlin, Crowder, Matt Redman, Christy Nockels, Kristian Stanfill, Melodie Malone, Brett Younker and Jimi Cravity, the worship anthems were introduced to more than 40,000 18-25 year olds at Passion 2016 conferences held in Houston and Atlanta arenas January 2-4.

During Passion 2016, students donated $811,813 to help construct a hospital in war-torn Syria. Once completed, the hospital will serve 12,000 women and children each year and will offer one of the few neonatal intensive care units in the country. Also making an impact locally, students filled bins with thousands of towels and socks - two of the most needed items at homeless shelters - upon arrival at each Passion 2016 location. This year, Atlanta's City of Refuge and Houston's Star of Hope received the needed items.

The Blaze reported the album's success, noting its spot "among the most popular music acts in the world." Critics are singing the album's praise calling it "defining music of 2016," (The Christian Beat) noting "these worship songs are here to stay." (Hollywood Jesus)

Physical copies of Passion: Salvation's Tide Is Rising will be available January 29.

About Passion Conferences
Led by a stirring in the heart of Atlanta-based pastor, Louie Giglio, Passion was birthed in 1997 to see the 20+ million college students across the globe awaken to the reality of an omnipotent and glorious Creator. Since then, millions of students from across the globe have joined the Passion movement, united across ministry and denominational lines, to seek the face of God in worship and prayer at several conferences, four world tours and multiple one-day and regional events. Passion's core scripture, Isaiah 26:8 states: "Yes, LORD, walking in the way of your laws, we wait for you; your name and renown are the desire of our hearts." The small Passion Team is led by Louie Giglio and operates under the direction of a Board that is committed to spreading the fame of Jesus Christ to college students around the globe.
