Welcome to the latest instalment of our most recent blog series Top Tens, which is posting roughly every Sunday/Monday, Australian time. Last time, we delved into my personal top ten list of bible verses. This time, instead of talking about my top ten 90’s CCM songs that are sure to stand the test of time (which will be the first top tens post in 2015), I am sharing 10 new CCM songs (that have already released) that I am certain will be BIG on radio and on impact on people’s lives in 2015, seeing that 2014 is ending in a few days!
So without any further ado, I will dive in, and list my choices (in any order) and you can hopefully see the lyric/music videos/audio slides, and hear why these tracks are special. Hopefully you can be inspired and encouraged by them again and again as well!
Matt Maher- Because He Lives (from Saints And Sinners releasing March 17th 2015)
Jeremy Camp- He Knows (from I Will Follow releasing February 3rd 2015)
Fireflight- Resuscitate (from INNOVA releasing May 5th 2015)
Blanca- Who I Am (from Who I Am EP releasing January 6th 2015)
I Am They- From The Day (from I Am They releasing January 27th 2015)
Brandon Heath- No Turning Back (from No Turning Back releasing February 10th 2015)
Aaron Gillespie- Praise Him (from Grace Through The Wandering releasing February 3rd 2015)
Hawk Nelson- Drops In The Ocean (from Diamonds releasing March 17th 2015)
Third Day- Soul On Fire (from Lead Us Back releasing March 3rd 2015)
Kevin Max- Light Me Up (from Broken Temples releasing March 10th 2015)
So there you have it, my top ten personal choices for new CCM song that will be popular coming into the New Year! So, what are your choices? Let me know so that we can compare and have a healthy discussion!
Next time we’ll definitely be talking about top ten 90’s CCM songs that are sure to stand the test of time!
Great list Josh. Okay, lemme say that I’ve listened to Blanca’s Who I Am, Kevin Max’s Light Me Up, Hawk Nelson’s Drop in the Oceans, just listened to Third Day’s Soul on Fire and I totally loved it. I’ve also heard Brandon Heath’s No Turning Back, Jeremy Camp’s He Knows and Matt Maher’s Because He Lives. I believe that these songs are going to big in 2015 but I have not listened to the songs by Fireflight, I Am They and Aaron Gillespie. With my agreement on 70% of your list, I’d like to give the remaining songs a listen.
I heard TobyMac is going to be releasing a single soon(Way Beyond Me); not sure if he has though. I listened to a clip on the song on YouTube and I’m sure it’s going to be big in 2015.
Glad you like the songs Mercy! I am excited for 2015 in music, so far it’s pretty great!
Apart from these 10 (of which I’m excited for all of these albums), I’m excited for TobyMac’s song “Beyond Me” as well as new songs from Chris August (“The Maker”) and Matthew West (“Day One”)!
I guess I must have missed the news about the new songs from Chris August and Matthew West. Yes, I’m certain 2015 is going to be exciting in the Christian Music industry.
I hope you have/had a wonderful birthday celebration . I wish you many more years to come. 🙂
