"For over a decade now the WOW collections have allowed fans of CCM to buy many of their favorite songs on two-disc collections. These compilations have always primarily featured what could best be called 'mainstream' CCM, and the 2003-2006 sets were excellent at featuring most of the best songs of each year.



Unfortunately, the 2007 set is the most disappointing set since 2002. The first CD in this collection continues the trend of excellence from the past few years and contains outstanding songs from the past year in CCM, including hits by the David Crowder Band, Third Day, and the Newsboys. The second CD, however, ventures largely into what I'd call 'alternative' music territory (with the occasional exception of an artist like Rebecca St. James) and is not what I've come to expect from the WOW compilations. For those who are interested in 'alternative' Christian rock, there have been (and will continue to be) the X compilations.



The WOW and X collections are put out by different labels, so maybe WOW felt the need to compete in the 'alternative' market as well. For those of us who don't like these 'alternative' styles of music, this is unfortunate as it has reduced a 2-CD set to, for all practical purposes, one CD.



Still, this 2-CD set is priced lower than many single CD's and, therefore, is still an excellent bargain. If you like all types of Christian rock, then you'll love both CD's; if, like me, you prefer the more mainstream pop - with an occasional powerful rock song - then you'll probably only enjoy the first CD. Either way it's worth the price, but I want to forewarn those who might share my disappointment in the second disc."

Good. But Not As Good As WOW Hits 2006!!!

"This CD is just okay. Personally for me, they should've left out Hawk Nelson and Sanctus Real. People think that WOW Hits should have more rock, but I personally think "Why?" I mean you already have X2007 coming out soon, which is the year's TOP ROCK HITS! And I mean Hawk Nelson and SR have never even been on WOW Hits before. I definitely would replace those with ZOEgirl's "One Day" and Bethany Dillon's "Dreamer". Those songs are great! But they should have some rock, like Plumb is amazing! And RelientK, Krystal Meyers and BarlowGirl are very good! But why HNelson and SReal? Hmmmm.....



Okay the Casting Crown's song "Lifesong" is great! I have to say truly amazing! There are tons of great songs and artists on here like, Aaron Shust, MercyMe, Chris Tomlin,Natale Grant, jeremy Camp, Third Day, Matt West, David Crowder*Band, Nichole Nordeman, Brian Littrel, Michael W. Smith, Mark Schultz, Big Daddy Weave and I really like how they put out Newsboys's newest single "I Am Free"! Overall Disc 1 is amazing!!!



But Disc 2 is even better!

It features top artists, like: barlowGirls, TobyMac, Jars of Clay, Joy Williams, Superchic[k], Building 429, The Afters, Shawn McDonal, Krystal Meyers, Plumb & RelientK! But what is very weird is I think that Rebecca St. James' song "Alive" should've been "You Are Loved". Sure "Alive" got to like #14 in the US or something, but "You Are Loved" got #1 in Australia!!! And Kutless' song should've been one from "Hearts of the ". Not an old "Strong Tower" one. Disc 2 is amazing!!



And for the BONUS songs, I haven't heard any of them but they sound great!!



Love in Christ,
