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.
