For some people it seems confusing, but there is actually a difference between Hillsong Music Australia, Hillsong, Hillsong Live, Hillsong Chapel, Hillsong United. Some of these early albums when reissued are also tagged by the recordcompany as "Hillsong Music Australia ft. Darlene Zschech" or "Various Artists". Maybe it is up to the listener how to tag this, although scrobbling from itunes also gives various results.
Hillsong's music has become well-known internationally amongst Christian groups. Songs such as "Power of Your Love" by Geoff Bullock and "Shout to the Lord" by Darlene Zschech have become popular and are sung throughout churches world-wide. Hillsong have released over 40 albums since 1992, many of them achieving gold status in Australia. Although the music is not well known amongst the mainstream, their 2004 live praise and worship album For All You've Done reached #1 in the mainstream Australian album charts (ARIA) when many copies were sold during Hillsong's annual conference.
Hillsong is one of the strongest influential factors on Christian pop culture and Christian pop music. Hillsong United, in particular influences Christian youth of today. Marty Sampson, Joel Houston and Jonathon Douglass are considered the Brad Pitt of Christian pop culture, with their always-changing hair styles featured on the annual Hillsong United album DVD.

Emmanuel
The lyrics of Hillsong Music Australia's song "Emmanuel" embody the essence of worship and adoration towards God. The first stanza declares reverence and surrender towards the Lord, acknowledging Him as a King who makes everything new. The next stanza dives deeper into the name of Jesus Christ, the Savior, the Emmanuel, which means "God is with us." The lyrics express the assurance that Jesus will never let go and will be with us every step of the way, illuminating Him as our guide, leader, and shepherd. This reassurance fills the listener with hope and trust that we are not alone, and Him being God, He never changes.
The bridge of the song embodies further glorification towards God and His greatness, His holiness and the acknowledgment that there is no one like Him. This exuding sense of worship and submission is captured through the repetition of the name Emmanuel. The refrain of "Emmanuel" reinforces the importance of the name and our relationship with God.

I was watching TBN one evening some years ago, and Darlene and her praise team were featured. I have never felt the anointing come through my tv screen like I did that evening. This woman loves the Lord Jesus Christ and His power was flowing through her because of her surrender to the King of kings and Lord of lords. Christ alone is to be exalted because He will share His glory with no one. Faith in Christ and Christ crucified is the ONLY way people. Please know this. Paul the apostle preached this and it is so. I am a nobody whom Christ appeared to some 20 years ago and proved that the staunchest of agnostics could convert to the love of God through His Son Jesus Christ. I am forever indebted!
@fabchick8159

My mom is a fan of Hillsong worship. She said she used to be waking up by that song back when Hillsong worship came in Rwanda 🇷🇼
