Brooke Fraser's "Shadowfeet" single is racing up the radio charts. Brooke is one of the songwriters and voices for Hillsong United and has penned some of their biggest hits (including "Hosanna"). Read on for some of the incredible things going on regarding Brooke's music:
The North American campaign rolls into July with a huge breakthrough week on iTunes and Billboard!
Albertine - iTunes top 5 album and Editor’s Pick - quote “their most successful Editor’s Choice to date…often they reach top 20 on iTunes but Brooke went Top 5” . It remained on the front page as a “staff favorite” after the fact.
The album debuted last week on Billboard Top 200 at # 90 with sales of over 8000 units the week prior.
The song "Shadowfeet" has consistently been in the most added at Christian radio - currently up to 22 from 27 on the Christian CHR chart and New & Active at Christian AC – total audience last week 246,300.

She will return to the road on August 6 at the House of Blues in Dallas, Texas with a third leg to be announced for September.
Since its release May 27, Albertine has earned rave reviews in the press: “New Zealand native Brooke Fraser says her music ‘sounds like a pop marshmallow has dropped into a folk hot chocolate and become a warm spicy chocoolatey broth’ and we agree… if you are a fan of Sarah McLachlan or the Sundays, our Pop Editor thinks you’re gonna love this album.” – iTunes, “Editor’s music choice”
