Upon it’s release, EMPIRES debuted at No. 5 on the Billboard 200 Chart. Named Album of the Week by USA Today, EMPIRES was also supported by Billboard, Rhapsody, Christianity Today and more along with a performance on the TODAY show.

Despite the accolades and acknowledgements, UNITED has always been about connecting people to a loving God through their unique and creative output. Joel Houston explains "God isn’t impressed by our production, or performance – God is about the position and state of our heart. It will never be perfect, but all he’s looking for is a ‘heart-broke sound’. This album is our deep desire to give God our best, knowing we have nothing without Him.”

Heralded by the likes of the Los Angeles Times, their acclaimed EMPIRES Tour will finish it’s U.S. trek in July with upcoming arena dates in Nashville, Denver, Kansas City, Chicago and more. For the latest tour information, visit http://hillsong.com/united/#tours.
