Capturing the energy, excitement and worship of Melbourne’s Planetshakers Church, one of the fastest growing churches in Australia, Planetshakers Band released globally through Integrity Music its critically acclaimed, 26th live recording, Endless Praise, March 11.  As the church and is music transcends cultures, languages and geographical boundaries, the new album immediately soared to the top of the overall charts, becoming the most downloaded iTunes albums across all genres of music in Malaysia and Singapore, while hitting No. 2 on Australia’s overall chart and No. 1 on the Inspirational chart.  The album also went as high as No. 9 on the iTunes Christian/Gospel chart in the USA (No. 11 for the Deluxe version of the album) and No. 7 in Canada, while hitting the overall charts at No. 6 in New Zealand, No. 10 in Indonesia and No. 4 in Brunei.

Recorded at Planetshakers’ annual Awakening event in Melbourne, the Endless Praise CD / DVD is an anthemic, joy-infused collection that gives honor to the One who makes all things possible.
