Question: What is Christian Pop Contemporary Music?
Answer: Using secular music terms, Christian Pop Contemporary could easily be described as "Top 40." Pop music meets soft rock and voila! Pop Contemporary! This is, by far, the most listened to of the genres, with more radio stations carrying the style, which is sometimes referred to as "Hot AC."

Essential Pop/Contemporary Albums
- Beyond Measure - Jeremy Camp
(Compare Prices - Buy Direct/Music Book)
Jeremy Camp's 4th album is his strongest to date; as personal as all of the others and with more strength and growth showing up on all twelve tracks. - The Altar and the Door - Casting Crowns
(Compare Prices)
This popular band's third album is slower than the first two, but it's just as strong ... just in a different, less "chorus stuck in your head" way. These songs go even deeper (yes, it really is possible) than usual Casting Crowns fare and there are plenty of winners on the 10 tracks. - Lifesong - Casting Crowns
(Compare Prices - Buy Direct/Music Book)
Lifesong once again challenges the church with powerful lyrics and it is apparent to me that their incredible popularity isn't just due to their obvious talent. It's what I like to call a "God thing." Think about it ... most people don't want the errors of their ways pointed out to them, yet Casting Crowns does just that. But people flock to see them and hear their music. I believe that's because God is opening hearts to see the ugly truths about ourselves so that the seeds that Casting Crowns plants have a place to grow. - Something To Say - Matthew West
(Compare Prices)
If you like pop music, Matthew West's Something To Say is a must for your collection. His first release after having vocal cord surgery, Matthew shows us that he does have plenty to say. - Say It - Britt Nicole
(Compare Prices)
Britt Nicole has a winner going with Say It. This girl has it all: talent, drive and a huge heart for ministry. This is one of those faces that you will be seeing a lot more of in the future.
