Hillsong Worship Celebrates Their First #1 By Releasing a New EP

Today, following their unprecedented rise to No. 1 earlier this week on the Christian charts, Australia-based Hillsong Worship released a 6-track "What A Beautiful Name" EP, now available in all digital music stores. Second only to Hillsong's own "Oceans" by Hillsong United as the most-streamed worship track weekly, "What A Beautiful Name" continues to report over 16k units per week, on track to overtake the former by week's end. The influential worship band that has helped shape praise & worship over the last two decades continues to be sung by an estimated 50 million churchgoers worldwide with "What A Beautiful Name" in worship rotations across the globe.
"The reach and impact of "What A Beautiful Name" has been encouraging and truly humbling," says Brooke Fraser about the success of the single. Adding, "We seek to bring songs that can genuinely connect the hearts of believers with the heart of God through worship, and the connection this song seems to have made can only be by the grace of God. With the release of the "What A Beautiful Name" EP this week we are hoping churches from across denominations and stylistic sensibilities can discover a version that uniquely speaks to their context and can equip them to lead this song whatever their setting, whether they have a full gospel choir at their disposal, a DJ set up or simply an acoustic guitar."
The dedicated EP "What A Beautiful Name" features six versions of the hit single off Billboard No. 1 album Let There Be Light, including a gospel version and the original live recording from Hillsong Conference in Sydney.
"What A Beautiful Name" Track Listing:
1. What A Beautiful Name

3. What A Beautiful Name (Alternate Acoustic)
4. What A Beautiful Name (Orchestral Selah)
