If you're looking to sample the Top 40 of today's Christian contemporary pop, look no further than Wow Hits 2003. Thirty artists and tracks on this diverse release provide enough musical flavors to whet your appetite. While it's not a true snapshot of the year's best, major labels EMI Christian, Provident, and Word combine to create a collection that certainly captures a good share of the market. Generations of CCM pop are represented here with big name acts Amy Grant, Michael W. Smith, and Steven Curtis Chapman, alongside next-generation stars Third Day, Newsboys, Jars of Clay, and Point of Grace. Sweet-sounding highlights include TobyMac's "Irene," FFH's "Open Up the Sky," and Audio Adrenaline's "Ocean Floor." Nicole C. Mullen ("Talk About It") and Jennifer Knapp ("Say Won't You Say") also contribute worthy tracks and strong proof of the prosperity of singer-songwriters in today's Christian music. Also nice to see the inclusion of Paul Colman Trio's "Turn" as a bonus track, since the release was one of the year's finest moments for the genre. --Michael Lyttle

 WoW is getting better, but not there yet... November 13, 2002
13 out of 15 found this review helpful
While I will admit that this year they have a lot of really great songs- I think that many really do represent what the best in Christian Music is- it still seems to stay on the same groups as ususal, even if the CD's have been released quite some time ago. I find there is really no crtiterion to get on WoW, except that if your band is on the Big Three of Christian Music you have a better chance. I wish they would use some sort of real measure first, like CD sales or radio ratings, and then have a broad judging panel, and also bring in songs from smaller bands and more obscure groups. I hate the Camoflouge song- it's bad! Usually Plus One is good, but it sounds so weird! Yet, then again, all music is just a matter of opinion. The end word: buy the CD, mainly because any CD collection cannot hurt with it's addition. And some songs are REALLY good, most notably the one from Third Day (Come Togehter) and from Racheal Lampa (I'm All Yours).

If you love contemporary Christian music and praise & worship music, this has to find it's way into your CD collection. I listen to this over and over and never tire of it. There are so many artists and such a wonderful selection of music on the CD that if I was stuck on a desert isle with only 1...okay this is a 2 CD set, so if I only had 2 CDs to take to my island, I'd pick the blue & silver CDs from WOW 2003. Trust me, it's worth the $... you'll shell out for it.
Best WoW since WoW 2000 October 2, 2002
7 out of 10 found this review helpful
Hey people, there's no mistake that this compilation is a very good one. Among great names (Jars Of Clay, Audio Adreanline, Third Day, ...) there's great songs (I need You, Ocean Floor, Come together...). If you don't want to buy lot of cd, buy this compilation. You'll find some of the great contempory christian songs of our time. Maybe the only negative thing about WoW 2003, there's some kind of music not appear on it, including Ska (OC Supertones, Les Frenchies) and Alternative (P.O.D., Switchfoot). WoW 2000 was doing better on this point. Anyways, this album is a good deal.
The best WoW compilation yet! October 5, 2002

I admit I have only heard about 2 or 3 WoW sets but this is my favorite. I like the seperation of the different styles of rock and pop and here is the way they are situated:On the first disc it contains the soft rock and slow pop
On the second disc it contains all of the heavier rock and faster pop. My favorite disc is the second one but the first one has its highlights. I just prefer disc two overall. Well, anyway, pick up this CD while its still cheap and pick up WoW Gold which has some of the best Christian music from the 70s 80s and 90s!
WOW! This is one of the best WoWs ever. December 12, 2002

The first WoW album I ever bought was WoW 1998, which had a great mix of songs and artist for the time. But aftere that the mix was pretty Amy/Micheal/Jars heavy. The 2000 album was OK, 2001 really good, but then 2002 stumbled a bit. But 2003 has really redeemed the series. The song selection criteria has been srengthened according to CCM Magizene, half the songs are #1 hits of the past year, the other are at least in the top 15 of their respective charts. A wider mix appears like Selah's "Wonderful, Merciful Saviour" from the Praise genre, "Irene" by TobyMac from the Rap/R&B, and Rock chick Jennifer Knapp's "Say, won't you say" An all together pretty awesome album.
