Amazon's Best Christian Music and Best Christian Songs of 2010

By Josephine Vivaldo, Christian Post Reporter Tuesday, January 11, 2011

Amazon released its lists of the Best Christian Music and the Best Christian songs of 2010.

Newcomer Audrey Assad, 27, proved to be the most popular up and coming artist for the year 2010, making way for her to take the number one slot on the first list. Additionally, she also received mention in the "Top 10 Albums of 2010" in both Relevant Magazine and Gospel Music Channel online.

Assad commented on CMSpin, "I am honored and humbled by the response to 'The House You're Building.' I spent so much time pouring my heart and soul into the songs, and to know that people are moved by them in any capacity is more than enough reward for those efforts. 2010 was an incredible year for me; I moved to Phoenix, I released a record and I got engaged! It feels like too many blessings for such a little life, but I am truly grateful."
