With celebrated artists Chris Tomlin, David Crowder, Matt Redman, Christy Nockels, Kristian Stanfill and Charlie Hall on the playlist, it’s no surprise that the latest PASSION album has gone down a treat with worship fans.
PASSION: White Flag sold more than 48,000 units in the first week, 61% more than last year’s PASSION: Here For You release.
White Flag quickly rose into the top 5 of the US Billboard Top 200 chart, and No 1 on the Christian SoundScan chart.
The album also scored well on the iTunes Top Albums Overall Chart, rising to No 4, with the deluxe version landing at No 1 on the Christian iTunes chart.
The album features 14 worship songs recorded live at Passion 2012 before a crowd of 42,000 college students from 31 countries.
The lead single, also called “White Flag”, was performed by Grammy winner Tomlin.
