4.0 out of 5 stars I think that this is one of the best WOW Hits CD, November 12, 2008

By	Abby Disney "monkey lover" (Oregon) - See all my reviews

I think that this 2009 CD is a great one--although there are some songs on it that have been on previous WOW Hits CD's.
A lot of these are played on the radio more than other Christian songs.

But my over all reaview for this product is 94%.
They're getting better every year.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great listening., April 6, 2009

By	GBearJC (South Carolina, USA) - See all my reviews

I listen to KLUV & sometimes I get tired of the same songs over & over again so I switch to my cds. I love this one & the WOWs are about the only I seem interested in anymore. I am so glad that I ordered this one. It had some songs that I have not heard before & I now love.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not up to the Standards of Previous WOW Releases, December 31, 2008

By	Will - See all my reviews

In terms of music, this CD definitely has several great songs (especially disc 2). What's strange to me is how each WOW Hits CD is numbered for the year after it was released, while containing songs that may be up to 3 years old, and not from an artist's most current album. Yet, the music is great nonetheless.

The reason why I took away a star is because this version of WOW seems rushed or incomplete. Is it like other things, in the current "tough economy," where they scaled back? If you have WOW Hits 2008, you already have a Britt Nicole song. The same one is repeated in this release. That only gives you 29 original songs.

The way the WOW series has usually worked is that you get 30 regular tracks and 3 bonus tracks (one on disc 1 and two on disc 2). If you read the track listing for this year's CD, they are only giving you 27 normal songs, and 3 "bonus" tracks. To me, that's deceptive and cheap on their part.

Previous WOW Hits albums had some kind of "enhanced CD" feature when you put the disc in your computer. You'd get something as useful as special free downloads, or at least a hyperlink to a website with more content. That is nowhere to be found in this CD set! It was very disappointing to me.

In summary, if you love the latest Christian music, and want an easy or affordable way to have lots of hit songs in one place, this is a good purchase.

If you're used to 33 songs, totally original music (not repeats from last year's CD) and the enhanced features, then you'll be left wanting more.
