Youthwork magazine suggests CCM struggling in UK

THE OCTOBER issue of Britain's Youthwork magazine carries a cover story, Christian Music Industry R.I.P? The article by Stephie-Lucia Engall and Sarah Wynter suggests that while worship music is flourishing the other areas of CCM are struggling in Britain.

Most bands that are made up of Christians have feet in both the Christian scene (your Nth Fest's, Greenbelts, Creation Fest, youth nights etc.) and the mainstream music scene of whatever genre they're in, unlike the US scene. It's a very good thing, and I agree largely with Fill and the article that we don't need or want a 'Christian Music Scene'. We want music to be made that is Christ-centred and Spirit-led that will touch all who hear it, believer or not.

there are tons of Christ-centered artists in the U.S. that are popular in the mainstream and Christian scene.....

I agrre with the article and maybe it's a good thing for the UK.
Where does a christian music scene (outside of worship music) exist?
Is it better to be part of the music scene as a whole, whether your lyrics are explictit or not, than to live inside of another christian bubble?
