2 months. 2 months to the date of Christmas Day. That’s how fast the year has progressed. In fact, time has passed so quickly this year that pretty soon, it’d be next year, and we’d all be thinking of…you guessed it, WOW Hits 2018. In fact, I’m sure you all are thinking about which songs are shoe-ins for next year’s compilation even now! Because, let’s be frank and honest here, WOW Hits has always been and will always be the most talked about Christian compilation album released in any year. So, what better time than now to make a prediction of WOW Hits 2018…sure probably half of my predictions will be correct (or maybe even less than half)…but, who knows. WOW Hits has always been known for placing dated songs on the annual WOW albums… So without further ado, here’s my stab and WOW Hits 2018, and stay tuned to more predictions later this year and into next year! Happy predicting!

Brendan, If We’re Honest was on 2017
There’s also way too many songs on that version Brendan.
Also there’s not that much! I’ve seen 24 tracks on some CDs, including the 10 Anniversary Of VeggieTales! Actually there’s 25 of them, 21 Hits & 4 bonus songs. Plus the reason I added 9 songs to the past 5 WOW Hits (Deluxe Edition) Albums is because of the songs that didn’t make it.
I know the actual version of WOW Hits 2017 (Deluxe Edition) had If We’re Honest, but in my version, I decided to put Holy Spirit on that album. You know what I mean?
