With over 16 million units sold to date with great momentum coming off WOW Hits 2009 & Hits 2010, the brand of WOW is bigger and better than ever! And just in time for Easter 2010, the WOW partnership is proud to announce the release of WOW Worship (Purple). This two disc, 30 song collection includes; "All Because of Jesus" (Casting Crowns); "Revelation Song" (Kari Jobe); "Your Name" (Paul Baloche); and more. I've been collecting every WOW collection album since their inception with WOW 1996, released in 1995. As a collector of the top songs in Christian music, the WOW Hits compilations are fair representations of the most popular songs in Christian music. The WOW Worship collections started in 1999, and this is the 7th in the collection and the first Worship compilation since Aqua in 2006, and many amazing worship songs were recorded in the last 4 years as evidenced by this excellent compilation.

One observation is that the landscape of worship songs has been greatly influenced by the emergence of Nashville based artists covering songs by Hillsong and Hillsong United. There was only one Hillsong recording on Aqua, "Worthy Is The Lamb." I'm very happy to see that there are six Hillsong recordings on Purple, including brand-new recordings "Lead Me To The Cross" (Francesca Battistelli), which for me is one of the highlights of this collection, along with "Desert Song" (Natalie Grant); "Mighty To Save" (Hillsong United); "Shout Unto God" (Michael W. Smith); "Hosanna" (Selah); and "How Great Is Our God" (Hillsong London), which is a great live recording of the famous song by Chris Tomlin. Speaking of Chris Tomlin, this compilation also includes top worship songs "Amazing Grace (My Chains Are Gone)" (Chris Tomlin); "Everlasting God" (Lincoln Brewster); "Your Grace Is Enough" (Matt Maher); "God Of This City" (Passion) and "The Wonderful Cross" (Matthew West), which is another highlight for me.

Some other emerging Passion worship artists and songs appearing on this collection includes "Everything Glorious" (David Crowder*Band); "Beautiful Jesus" (Kristian Stanfill); "Marvelous Light" (Charlie Hall); "Give Us Clean Hands" (Kutless), which is another highlight for me and "You Never Let Go" (Matt Redman). I've always enjoyed Big Daddy Weave and BarlowGirl's recording of "You're Worthy Of My Praise" and another standout song on the collection is "New Song We Sing" by up and coming worship artist Meredith Andrews.

CLOSING THOUGHTS
There are 30 great reasons to pick up this excellent worship compilation, which is the best in this great series in my opinion. I think it was great to wait four years and really put together a fresh and contemporary selection of songs that really complements the previous collections. Whether you are a long-time collector or new to the Christian music scene, WOW Worship (Purple) is a worthy addition to any worship music collection. These songs all praise Jesus and are wonderful examples of the great artistry and creativity that is honoring to God.

I discovered the WOW Worship series a few years ago. I prefer WOW Worship over WOW Hits..because...WOW Worship is more uplifting & peaceful; perfect for praising God with song. There's been a couple WOW Worship CD's that I haven't enjoyed, Wow Worship (Purple) is not one of them. My hubby & daughter prefer the WOW Hits series, but for some reason my WOW Worship CD's come up missing quite often...so I'd have to say that they enjoy WOW Worship, too. Take a listen to the music samples, I think you'll agree that WOW Worship (Purple) is uplifting & won't disappoint you.

I can't get enough of this cd. I listen to it every night with headphones in bed. I laugh, I cry and I feel inspired then I relax and fall asleep. Good stuff! Next morning the songs just pop in my head as I begin another wonderful day.

This is a wonderful worship CD. The songs are great and very inspiring. I enjoy that it is various artists as it always has the best of their songs. It has 2 CD's and is a great price.

This item is amazing, I enjoy every second of it. It's all my favorite songs in one CD. I can't stop singing along. It's exactly what I expected plus more. I would recommend this cd for all believers and even non-believers.

True worship ... I love this CD. I play the CD often in the mornings while praying... it is always a nice CD to help get into that moment of fellowship with God.

I'm new to the contemporary Christian music scene, and wanted a kind of sampler collection to get my feet wet. I chose this WoW Worship mix because it offered 30 songs for $12.99 and several artists I'd heard of (though never listened to) like Casting Crowns and the David Crowder Band.

Honestly, I'm really glad I picked it up. I enjoyed the music, and it was a non-intimidating introduction to some great Christian music artists. I'd definitely recommend it to others looking for an introductory collection.

I always love the wow worship cd's! This one my kids love too!! Great cd and I recommend it to everyone!!

I'm very pleased with my order, that is, the time it took to get to me, the condition it was in and the music. Good job!!!

I love this cd. It has so many of my favorites...Worthy is the Lamb, Amazing Grace,Revelations song and Mighty to Save just to name a few. My 3 year old thinks Matt Redman's "Never Let Go" is the best song in the entire universe, so she loves it too! We are truly enjoying this particular mix and could only enjoy it more if it were a bigger compilation.
