Mullen, Chris Rice, Peter Kipley, Wayne Watson, Cindy Morgan, Matthew West, Dan Muckala and numerous others. Additionally, Word’s catalogue has been popularized by recordings from Christian artists such as Point of Grace, Sandi Patty, Jaci Velasquez, Sixpence None the Richer - who topped UK airplay charts for two months wth hit song 'Kiss Me', Selah, Shirley Caesar and numerous pop and country artists.

Word Music is part of publicly traded Warner Music Group (WMG). “Word Music has enjoyed a rich history of providing printed editions of our songs as they have been recorded across all genres of Christian and Gospel music,” said Word Music President, Don Cason. “We are thrilled to be able to see our catalog reach into some new areas for Christian consumers through a smartly-tuned digital distribution system like Musicnotes.

Musicnotes' Chairman Tim Reiland also expressed his delight at the agreement "We are very excited to be adding Word’s extensive catalogue to Musicnotes.com," he said "Christian sheet music represents one of the fastest growing areas of our business, and this agreement will allow Musicnotes to offer its customers a much broader selection of songs.
