“Why should the Devil Have all the Good Music?”
Popular Christian and Gospel music are two genres lyrically focused on matters of the Christian faith. Since the 1960’s, the style has become very popular (albeit, not without its own brand of controversy), and today graces billboard charts under its own genre heading. In the last two decades, the Christian and Gospel music – especially Christian Rock - has seen a rise in popularity amongst religious teenagers and adults. Modern day Christians appreciate the same religious expression in a variety of new musical forms from artists like Steven Curtis Chapman, Amy Grant, and Jeremy Camp. 

With so much crossover success and experimentation in today’s hip hop and rap music markets, it seems harder than ever to know exactly what people are listening to and what they want.

Easily one of the most popular music genres in the last fifteen years, the country music scene features inspiring tracks from some of today’s best selling artists. With musical roots that range from southern folk music to Celtic sounds, blues, gospel, and old-time classics, the Country and Western music genre is an enormous market in today’s music industry.
