Michael W Smith - Worship is not a genre of music. It's not a trend or passing fad. It's the overflow of a grateful heart that impacts every aspect of a believer's life. It's that outpouring of emotion that reverberates through Michael W. Smith's music and makes everyone want to sing along. These days the veteran singer/songwriter/worship leader and beloved mentor is leading the way yet again with A New Hallelujah.

Amy Grant - Conventional wisdom has it that Amy Grant put Contemporary Christian music on the map. She surely did that, achieving such breakthroughs as being the first Contemporary Christian artist to have a platinum record, the first to hit #1 pop and the first to perform at the Grammys. Yet perhaps her greatest accomplishment was to open the door for a flood of other artists in pop as well as rock to sing about faith and soul and family and still grasp stardom.
