MyChristianHits.com Announces Winners of Inaugural My Christian Hits Awards
FreQ Media is proud to announce the winners in the inaugural My Christian Hits Awards, naming 39 different category winners that were picked solely by music fans over the past three weeks. Over 14,000 votes were cast over three weeks of open voting. The winners show how diverse Christian music is and the high level of artistry included in this year’s honoree list.
The major category winners include: Male Artist of the Year: Danny Gokey, Female Artist of the Year: Mandisa, Breakout Artist of the Year: NeedToBreathe, New Artist of the Year: Shuree, New Indie Artist of the Year: Spencer Kane, and Music Video of the Year: Brandon Heath’s “Love Does.” The biggest winner of the year was NeedToBreathe which won an impressive five different category awards. A complete list of winners can be found at MyChristianHits.com.
Fans voted across many musical genres, including rock, pop, hip-hop, folk, metal/hardcore, underground hip-hop, tween pop, electronic/EDM, worship, country, and Christmas. The category groupings are based primarily off of MyChristianHits.com’s current and future music channel names. Fans who voted are also eligible for five separate prize packages, which will be awarded over the next week.
“With the debut of the My Christian Hits Awards, and the huge response we received from the voting public, we believe we’re moving in the right direction in the diversity of our network music programming,” shares FreQ Media General Manager and former Radio & Records/Billboard Christian music editor Rick Welke. “We will continue to champion the art that we are honored to play, and the artists that desire to connect with music fans in a real way through our multiple websites and music offerings. I would like to thank the 14,000 plus that voted in this first year of the My Christian Hits Awards. You coming out and voting the way you did was nothing short of amazing.”
All FreQ Media channels and websites are family friendly. The organization will also partner with select Christian festivals around the USA to offer up seasonal festival-specific audio programming for their attendees in the coming months as it did in 2014. All of FreQ Media’s music channels can be heard on various outlets, including FreQazoid.com, MyChristianHits.com, and TuneIn.com.
