As with its extremely successful predecessors, WOW 1998 gathers a selection of the most popular songs by the hottest artists gracing contemporary Christian music that year. The two-disc set has one disc of sacred pop music (the red CD) and one of sacred rock (the black CD). Featured are the likes of Rebecca St. James, Jars of Clay, and Petra on the first; 4HIM, BeBe and CeCe, and Anointed on the second. "Difference" by Jaci Velasquez, the acoustic flavorings of Caedman's Call, and DC Talk's supremely hummable "Colored People" are standouts on the red disc. Steven Curtis Chapman, Point of Grace, and Bryan Duncan let loose on the black disc. Each song, including relatively subdued turns by Sandi Patty and Kathy Troccoli, complements the whole, giving Christians a spiritual option to the less flexible tunes of Sunday mornings and the tried-and-true hits of yesterday's contemporary Christian music. --Paige La Grone

5.0 out of 5 stars A must have for ccm fans!, January 13, 1999

By A Customer

This was one of the first ccm titles I ever bought. I bought it on the recommendation of a MUCH more experienced friend and have never regretted it. Now that I have listened to more ccm music I realize that WoW really does have the year's top hits. There's something for everyone too. Although the first cd may have more wear on it than the second(at least in my case). ALL the songs are terrific. I espescially love the songs by Newsboys, Third Day, and Petra. In short, I would recommend this album to anyone. Whether you are a seasoned listener or a relative newcomer you're sure to find something you'll like.
