WOW Hits 2010

Over the last 14 years, the Contemporary Christian music industry (CCM) has partnered with the best artists to make their songs available on 2 CDs in a package they affectionately call WOW! Thirty songs containing the most popular hits heard on Christian radio in 2009 are included.

The breadth of musical genres within CCM’s scope are well represented on this compilation. It includes the Hip-Hop of Group 1 Crew, the passionate rock of Natalie Grant and Jars of Clay, the inspirational pop of Mandisa and Mark Schultz and the soul-stirring worship of Chris Tomlin and Michael W. Smith. Within this collection, there is a sweet balance of male artists, female artists and a varied presentation of bands/groups. There is also a diverse blend of seasoned veterans like Stephen Curtis Chapman, tobyMac and Newboys to a few new and fresh CCM artists like Britt Nicole, Brandon Heath, and Red and Hawk Nelson. You probably won’t find all your favorite music included but you’ll enlarge your CCM listening quotient and possibly embrace a few new favorite artists or groups. You will not be disappointed by purchasing this sweet CD package.

WOW 2010 is an inexpensive way of listening to the latest awesome contemporary Christian CDs out there without coming close to the national debt. My favorites, which can change at any time, include: “The Motions,” Matthew West, “Wait and See,” Brandon Heath, “My Deliverer,” Mandisa, “City on Our Knees.” tobyMac, “The Lost Get Found,” Britt Nicole and “Keys to the Kingdom,” Group 1 Crew.

This popular hit list include songs with lyrics that are both encouraging and convicting, powerful and inspirational.
Looking over my collection of WOW CDs, I found I’m missing a few years. Perhaps some unnamed person in my household has borrowed them. I’d completely understand if that was the case, but next time, just ask me or buy your own copy.
