Believe it or not, this past year of 2016 is now over. We are now entering into 2017, a full 365 days of a new chapter, a new year in this book called ‘life’- so let’s take each day and live it to the full and to what God wants, right? Anyway… we thought that with the year ticking over, it’s time for another WOW Hits prediction for WOW Hits 2018!
Even though we already made a predicted list a while ago (you can view it here!), there’s plenty of new songs and soon-to-be released songs added to this ever changing list, so without further ado, here’s my stab at WOW Hits 2018, and stay tuned to more predictions later this year! Happy predicting!

hey danny.
your list is ok. i think most of the artists you said will be there on WOW Hits 2018… though i reckon it’ll be-
‘magnify’ instead of ‘everything comes alive’
‘giants fall’ instead of ‘holy spirit’
‘more than conquerors’ instead of ‘amen’
‘pieces’ instead of ‘he’s still here’
‘even if’ instead of ‘new lease on life’
‘one step away’ instead of ‘love you with the truth’
‘my all in all’ instead of ‘your love awakens me’
‘victorious’ instead of ‘maker’
then there’s songs like ‘testify’ (needtobreathe), ‘forgiven’ (crowder), ‘i won’t let you go’ (switchfoot), ‘all that matters’ (colton dixon), ‘find you here’ (ellie holcomb), ‘rise’ (danny gokey), ‘open hands’ (laura story), ‘crazy’ (newsboys) and ‘what a beautiful name’ (hillsong worship) are also likely candidates for wow hits 2018 as well.
all in all, let’s just agree that there are too many songs to have a ‘perfect’ wow hits 2018 track listing. let’s just enjoy predicting until the album track listing comes out in July/August.
