CCM

Christian Contemporary Music takes the slick production and instincts of mainstream pop & soul, paired with lyrical spirituality. Also known as CCM, it's the most commercial statement yet to emerge from Christian music. The Young Christian revolution of the mid-1970s provided the industry with a ready audience for pop-oriented worship songs. Artists such as Amy Grant and Steven Curtis Chapman have experienced unparalleled success over the last two decades working almost exclusively within CCM.
