Wow #1s by Various Artists (CD, Apr-2005, 2 Discs, Reunion)

This really cracks me up - Wow! Thats What I Call Christian Music! Its exactly the same concept as Now Thats What I Call Music except that he 'N' has become a 'W' and the tracks aren't pop songs, they are Christian songs. I look at the title and laugh at the unorginalness of the execs who said "This will be great." But alas, it is apparently great as the Wow CDs sell like hotcakes... and if Christian Music is your gig, Wow claims these are the 31 GREATEST Christian Songs ever:

1. Dive - Steven Curtis Chapman
2. Holy - Nichole Nordeman
3. I Can Only Imagine - MercyMe
4. In Christ Alone - Brian Littrell
5. One Of These Days - FFH
6. Big Enough - Chris Rice
7. Lead Me On - Amy Grant
8. Place In The World - Michael W. Smith
9. Gather At The River - Point Of Grace
10. Redeemer - Nicole C. Mullen
11. Testify To Love - Avalon

WOW is right! What a great title to describe the music and inspiration this album brings to your life. The album contains all the popular artists and the favorite songs of contemporary Gospel music. I really enjoy all the albums put out by WOW they are a compilation of great music that is great for riding in the car when no one but you and the music are singing to the LORD! Gospel music always lifts my spirit when I'm down so it is a great resource to help you sing and give praise. God is good!

I was searching for the song In Christ Alone by Brian Littrell and it was no longer available in stores. Thanks to eBay, I was able to purchase a 2-CD collection of number one hits that included this song. My whole family has enjoyed listening to all of the songs and have been very happy with the purchase. We love Contemporary Christian Music!

The sound track is as good as any other WOW music. The music is inspiring and encouraging. This soundtrack is a, "Must Have". God Bless!

There were 2 CDs. One was unplayable. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

This collection is a retrospective from the vastly popular Wow series. Wow #1s takes a look at very best songs that were rated number 1. The difference between this cd and those wow cd's that have been released since 1996 is that in order to get on this cd, the song must have been rated #1 and it doesn't matter which year it was released. If you, like me, own all of the Wow cd's, think of this cd like a greatest hits package from an artist that you own all of the albums for - it gives you 2 discs for all of the best music.

The music on WOW #1s is most excellent! Be aware that both an audio CD and a music video DVD are on the market. The audio CD has 31 songs while the video DVD has only 21 songs. I have purchased both and recommend the audio CD, especially for those who are new to the Christian music scene. My kids said the music videos are on the average side, but they love the music. I had an experience on eBay when a DVD was advertised, but I received an audio CD. So you may want to clarify the product with the seller. I kept the CD because there is always someone to give it to and it was a pretty good deal.
Try it, you’ll like it! Share the music!
