WoW Hits is an annual series of compilation albums promoting contemporary Christian music.
WoW 1996 was the first in the series. Released in 1995, it was the first recording put together by the three major Christian record companies at the time: Word Records (now Word Entertainment), Sparrow Records (now part of EMI Christian Music Group), and Reunion Records (now part of Provident Music Group).
Each annual WOW Hits release is a double CD set compiling songs submitted by each partner label. Final track decision is made by committee, upon which the submitting label must agree to a reduced master royalty. Production, marketing & distribution for the WOW Hits, series has been relegated to EMI Christian Music Group.
Since then, it has expanded to include:
- WOW Worship (released annually beginning with WOW Worship Blue in 1999)
- WOW The Videos (released annually beginning with WOW 1997 The Videos)
- WOW Gospel (released annually beginning with WOW Gospel 1998)
- WOW Christmas (released periodically beginning in 2002)
- WOW Gold (released in 2000)
- WOW The 90s (released in 2000)
- WOW For The Children (A single-disc release special release for Feed the Children)
- WOW #1s: 31 of the Greatest Christian Music Hits Ever (released in 2005)
- WOW Next 2007 (A Free CD 10 Song Disc Given to Anyone Who Bought Any WOW Compilation CD)
- WOW Hymns (releasing in March 2007)
