A Cross the Earth was second only in digital music sales to Eminem's new CD, Relapse. Birthed from the youth ministry of Hillsong Church in Australia, Hillsong United is currently on tour in the U.S. through August.

"People of all ages, especially students, are connecting with United's message of compassion and social justice, and their genuine passion for a real connection with God and each other," said Chris Estes, director of digital marketing for Integrity Music. "For a band that is virtually unknown outside the Christian culture to be selling more than Green Day and Lady Gaga and almost as many as Eminem on iTunes, it says something about United's amazing trajectory as an impact artist beyond just the Christian music scene."
