History

Independent albums (2007-2010)

Elevation Worship began in 2007 at Elevation Church in Charlotte. The band released four independent albums prior to signing with Essential Records. The Sound was released in 2007 (under the name Elevation Church Live), We Are Alive in 2008, God With Us in 2009, and Kingdom Come in 2010. Featuring the song "Give Me Faith", Kingdom Come was the band's first album to break through on the Billboard charts, reaching No. 5 on Heatseekers, No. 42 on Independent Albums and at No. 17 on the Christian Albums chart.

2010s

The band released their debut live album, For the Honor, under Sony Music Nashville's Essential Records label on November 21, 2011. The band's second album with the Essential label, Nothing Is Wasted, was released on February 19, 2013. A deluxe edition of the album also included studio recordings of each song. It reached No. 1 on the Christian Albums chart and was No. 41 on the Billboard 200.

Their seventh album, Only King Forever, was released on January 14, 2014, debuting at their highest charting position, No. 23 on the Billboard 200 and featured guest vocalist Darlene Zschech from Hillsong Worship. The band released their eighth album, Wake Up The Wonder, on November 25, 2014. It was recorded at the Spectrum Center in Charlotte on August 1, and it debuted at No. 58 on the Billboard 200 in its first week. Additionally it was No. 1 on Billboards Christian Album chart. On July 31, 2015, another live recording was made at the same venue (Time Warner Cable Arena) for their ninth album, Here as in Heaven. It was their first album released on their own label, Elevation Worship Records. It was released on February 5, 2016, and peaked No. 1 on US album charts.

On September 28, 2018, Elevation Worship released their eleventh live album, Hallelujah Here Below, which was nominated for the 2019 Best Contemporary Christian Music Album. In 2019, Elevation Worship released the album Paradoxology on April 12, which features rearrangements of some songs from Hallelujah Here Below. Paradoxology included a single, "With You". The collective's second Spanish album Aleluya (En La Tierra) was released on July 19. It peaked at No. 8 on the US Latin Album Sales chart. At Midnight, their seventh EP, was released on August 30.
