WOW Gospel

WOW Gospel 2012 was released on January 24, 2012.

The contemporary gospel music by males artists like Smokie Norful, 21:03, Kirk Franklin and Donald Lawrence praise God all the way to the throne. Add to that songs from ladies like Kim Burell, Mary Mary and Dorinda Clark-Cole, and you've got 30 solid hits from WOW.

WOW Gospel 2011 was released on February 1, 2011.

Highlights like "No One Else" by Smokie Norful, "The Great I Am" by Donnie McClurkin and "I Can't Hold It" by Byron Cage showcase some of the best male voices in the industry today. The ladies aren't outdone though - Mary Mary, Karen Clark Sheard and Kierra "Kiki" Sheard represent the women of Gospel quite well.

WOW Gospel 2010 was released on January 26, 2010 and featured 30 of the most popular Gospel songs of the year, including five tunes that made it to #1 on Billboard's Hot Gospel Chart.

Highlights like "Cry Your Last Tear" from Bishop Paul S. Morton & The Fgbcf Mass Choir and "Back II Eden" from Donald Lawrence & Company give listeners a great taste of what the rest of the double-CD set has in store.

The heartfelt and soulful music by new artists like Jason Champion, Shari Addison, 21:03 and Crystal Aikin show off some amazing new talent for '09. Add to that music from voices that we already know and love, like J Moss, Mary Mary and Deitrick Haddon, and you've got another winner from WOW.

While the 2008 version of WOW Gospel doesn't include a new artist highlight, it is still a good album with a lot of great artists to listen to. Surprisingly though, the creators included some older hits that saw their prime well before 2007 instead of hits by the same artists that were super popular in '07. Still great songs, but not necessarily "2008" type songs.

Highlights include: "Hold On" by Yolanda Adams, "Wait" by Vanessa Bell Armstrong, "Anything" by Patti LaBelle featuring Mary Mary, "I'll Trust You" by Richard Smallwood with Vision and "Complete" by LaShun Pace.

This 30-track two-disc set offers up some of the finest contemporary gospel hits of the last several years. "Old School" artists like Helen Baylor, Karen Clark-Sheard, Richard Smallwood, Shirley Caesar and Vanessa Bell Armstrong meet "new sounds" from Tye Tribbett & G.A. and George Huff.

The 2007 version of WOW Gospel features old and new favorites with music from Yolanda Adams, Tye Tribbett & Kim Burrell and Martha Munizzi make this WOW the best one yet.

CeCe Winans, Hezekiah Walker, Anointed, Nicole C. Mullen, Deitrick Haddon and Donnie McClurkin are the premier voices on WOW Gospel 2006.

Groups like the Tri-City Singers and The Canton Spirituals make a strong showing amongst solo artists like Karen Clark-Sheard and Smokie Norful on WOW Gospel 2005.

Debra Killings, Vickie Winans, Dorinda Clark-Cole and Joann Rosario are four of the women of faith who grace this wonderful release.
