 | | Christian music sales have fallen for the first time in two years, and piracy is largely to blame, according to John Styll, president of the Gospel Music Association. |  | | Meanwhile, the Christian music industry is working to harness the promotional potential of the digital age, while educating the public on copyright laws, Styll said. |  | | Couple these facts with the 10 percent decline in Christian music sales in the first six months of this year compared to last year, and Styll believes the connection is obvious. |

| | Amazing Discoveries: The Christian Music Industry - page 5 |
 | | When deciding what music you should listen to, (this could be applied to both spiritual and contemporary music), you need to go through some vitally important steps. |  | | Good Christian music should have a text which is in harmony with the scriptural teachings of the Bible. |  | | It would be sheer madness to begin categorizing music such as that which sounds like ancient advent hymns, as being acceptable or not, or defining spiritual songs as good only if they don't have a country, folk, classical, modern, or whichever flavour. |

 | | Christian speed/thrash musicians remind the listener of the fate of Satan and of the non-Christian. |  | | Christian speed/thrash music began in the late 80's with the 1988 release of "Human sacrifice" by "Vengeance." A group by the name of Deliverance followed suit with a self-titled debut album. |  | | This movement, which birthed contemporary Christian music, was decidedly apocalyptic in nature and was made up of youth who were largely disillusioned with the idealism and subsequent failure of the secular counter culture (Enroth, Ericson and Peters, 1972). |

 | | Contemporary Christian Music or CCM traced its roots to Southern Gospel and Gospel music, but only began to be noticed by a larger audience when the music industry changed the way it tracked record sales in the mid-1990s. |  | | Many of these artists left their CCM labels and signed with "secular" record labels or arranged for their records to be distributed in both the "Christian" and "secular" music markets. |  | | Signed with a tiny CCM label called Essential Records, their debut record was selling briskly in the Christian world when one single, "Flood" came to the attention of radio programmers who liked it, and unaware that it was a song from a "Christian" band&; began to give it significant airplay in several different formats. |

 | | A genre distinction is usually drawn between "contemporary Christian music" (ccm for short) and "modern worship music." The great majority of ccm artists do not envision their music being used in church (as is Talbots, Cards and sometimes Franklins); they expect it to be played in homes and automobiles just like regular pop music. |  | | Christian music fans often complain that bands like Sixpence None the Richer (named for a C. Lewis quote) or The Choir (an especially artistic combo of Episcopalians) dont mention Jesus enough in their songs. |  | | CeCe is Christian musics Whitney Houston, and Houston has cited CeCe as "my personal favorite singer." BeBe recently shook up the Christian music world with allegations of racism in the industry, accompanied by hints that he might abandon ship for a career in the general market. |
