We have finally finished with the 4th Quarter Rollout. I know, the quarter ended September 30, and it's almost December. We had our sweepstakes running, the end of one year and beginning of the next, and a whole boatload of entries. So considering, I think we did make pretty good time.
The big winner for the Final Quarter was Pop Music, which is a big surprise. We just assume it to be Modern Worship every quarter because it usually is. Not that there aren't any Pop Artists in Christian Contemporary Music. There are plenty, but they are dwarfed by the sheer number of Hillsong Wannabees. Let's get to our final listing.
Pop Music
This was a big quarter for Pop. We had two Perfect albums in Annie Moses Band and JJ Heller, and some very solid entries from the others, including a Comeback to Remember from Nichole Nordeman. We are finished. Until next time, I am Awaiting Your Reply.
We are heading down the stretch folks. Rock was tied with Modern Worship for the second most entries this quarter. The big surprise in that statement isn't that rock wasn't well represented at other times, it is that Modern Worship wasn't number one. A dozen entries is pretty good. Let's get to it.
Rock Music
Next up is the big winner, and it was POP. Who woulda thunk it. Until next time, I am Awaiting Your Reply.
This is a strange quarter. One where Modern Worship doesn't wind up with the most entrants, but such is the case. They are actually tied with Rock this quarter, and only tied for second place at that. Let's get to it.
Modern Worship
One big surprise is the presence of THREE Perfect 5's on this list. That doesn't happen very often. Part of the Hillsongification of the Genre. Next is Rock. Until then, I am Awaiting Your Reply.
I usually make fun of Adult Contemporary. I like to call it Air Conditioning Music. You know, it keeps you comfortable. Well the air conditioner is blowing pretty well, despite it now being November. Just Joking. These were the releases for the Summer Months, so AC is just fine then.
Adult Contemporary/Inspirational
The City Harmonic roared back on top this quarter with a Perfect Entry. I was beginning to worry about them. The big surprise of the quarter, however, came from Amber Nelon Thompson. With Southern Gospel history I was expecting a test to my gag reflexes. Good thing the youth generation decides to rebel. It leaves hope for the music world. Until next time, I am Awaiting Your Reply.
