Top 10 Ghana Gospel Songs Of 2021
The Ghana gospel music scene has continued to defy the odds with recent achievements. The highlight of the year was Diana Hamilton, a gospel music artiste winning the 2021 VGMA artiste of the year award. Also competing against secular songs, Diana Hamilton won the Best Music Video of the year award and Vodafone’s most popular song of the year.
These feats show that it would not be long before gospel music in Ghana becomes mainstream in the country.
