The Home of the Platinum Vinyl Awards. Reviews of New CD releases, mostly CCM but also mainstream releases that may interest the Christian Music listener. Music News and Commentary, especially when there's a CCM connection.
Our final genre in our second quarter wrap of 2018 is Modern Worship. Cue the giant yawn from my long time readers. New readers, you'll learn.

The third group of nominees in this grouping is that of Modern Worship Video of The Year. The Nominees are: Ever Be by Kalley Heiligenthal and +Bethel Music; Good, Good Father by +Zealand Worship ;Lead Me by +Young Oceans; Leave Me Astounded by +Planetshakers andLet It Be Jesus by +Christy Nockels The playlist follows. That does it for this genre. Next up is Gospel/R&B Video of The Year. 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.
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.
