WOW Hits 1 was intended to be the first of three single-CD WOW Hits albums to be released in 2008.[4] It contains sixteen of the most recent hit songs on Christian radio plus three bonus tracks. The album reached No. 4 on Billboard's Top Christian Albums chart in 2008, and No. 99 on the Billboard 200 that same year.[1]

A series of three single-disc compilation albums per year had been planned to replace the annual double-CD hits set which had been released since 1996. The follow-up albums did not appear. Instead a regular double-CD set, titled WOW Hits 2009, was issued.
