Following the return of former members Peter Furler and Phil Joel last year, Christian music supergroup Newsboys has made history once again as their latest album United debuts at No.1 on the Billboard Top Christian Albums chart following its May 10 release.

United, a 10-song collection of amazing praise & worship tunes and powerful pop tracks, with the lead song “Greatness of Our God” moving up various Christian music charts, was produced by Furler and Geoff Duncan and showcases four songs co-written by Furler. The digital deluxe edition of United is also now available, featuring Newsboys’ 2017 anthem “The Cross Has The Final Word” and “Rejoice,” a new track written by Furler and Steve Taylor, among other selections.

“Putting Michael, Duncan, Jody and Jeff back together with Peter and Phil is among the highlights of my career managing the Newsboys, since first discovering them in Australia in 1986,”

says Wes Campbell, First Company Management founder and Newsboys manager.

“Seeing them come back together and perform again—and now creating music together for this special album—brings me joy.”
