The 10 Most-played Worship Songs In Nigeria (2025)
The 10 Most-played Worship Songs In Nigeria (2025). In a year when Sunday morning spilled seamlessly into Monday playlists, Nigerian worship found its sweet spot between sanctuary and smartphone. 2025 wasn’t just about new releases; it was about the songs that gathered families at dawn, scored all-night vigils, and turned commutes into quiet altars.
With churches livestreaming more than ever and creators clipping irresistible chorus moments for reels and shorts, worship music crossed platforms and generations, proving—again—that devotion travels fastest when the melody is simple and the message is clear.
This editorial ranks the Top 10 Most Played Worship Songs in Nigeria in 2025, drawing on a composite view of what Nigerians actually kept on repeat across major streaming services and video platforms. While there is no single, audited multi-DSP chart for gospel/worship locally, patterns are unmistakable: a handful of anthems dominated Apple Music and Spotify rotations, surged on Boomplay and Audiomack, and racked up massive replay value on YouTube—often buoyed by live church moments and user-generated clips. The result is a list that blends fresh breakouts with evergreen declarations, capturing how congregational life, social media, and personal devotion shaped listening this year.
Lawrence Oyor — “Favour”
A homegrown chorus that turned prayer into pop-up praise, “Favour” became the altar-call earworm of the year. It debuted in January and quickly surged to No. 1 on Nigeria’s iTunes Christian & Gospel chart, spending multiple weeks in the top tier—proof that intimate, single-line devotionals still travel the farthest.
Moses Bliss & Chandler Moore — “Your Love”
Bliss paired his buoyant, believer-next-door tone with Maverick City’s Chandler Moore for a transatlantic worship anthem that Nigerians kept in rotation. It hit No. 1 on Apple’s Nigeria Christian/Gospel tally and logged double-digit weeks on the chart, cementing Moses Bliss as a 2025 fixture.
Mercy Chinwo — “You Do This One”
No one marries gratitude and groove like Mercy. Even as an earlier release, it re-ignited in 2025—climbing into the Nigeria Christian/Gospel top 10—while Mercy herself ranked among YouTube Music’s most-streamed Nigerian artists in Q1, signaling real cross-platform pull.
Sound of Salem (feat. Lawrence Oyor & Moses Akoh) — “We Will Be Many”
Built on a communal refrain and a swelling choral bed, this one became a Sunday-to-Monday soundtrack for youth fellowships and campus devotions, peaking inside the top 3 on Apple’s Nigeria Christian/Gospel list.
Pst. Oche Ogebe & Sound of Salem — “Promise Keeper”
Part testimony, part proclamation, “Promise Keeper” rode word-of-mouth from church livestreams to individual playlists, topping out at No. 2 and holding steady for weeks—classic proof that congregational songs convert to streams.
Limoblaze, Ada Ehi & Frank Edwards — “Otua”
Afro-gospel at its most radio-ready: bright hooks, clean percussion, a praise lyric that doesn’t strain for impact. “Otua” broke into the Nigeria Christian/Gospel top-20, and its genre-spanning appeal kept it bubbling across playlists beyond strict “worship” silos.
Nathaniel Bassey — “See What the Lord Has Done (Live)”
A reflective slow-burn that refuses to age. Even years after release, it returned to the upper rungs in 2025. More importantly, Bassey led all Nigerian gospel acts on YouTube Music in Q1-2025—evidence that his catalog, not just his singles, dominates listening behavior.
Victor Thompson — “Dependable God”
If you attended an overnight vigil or commuted at dawn, you heard this. Its staying power is undeniable—well over 100 weeks charted on Apple’s Nigeria Christian/Gospel list by mid-2025—making it one of the year’s most replayed declarations.
Mercy Chinwo — “Akamdinelu”
A catalog classic that kept streaming like a new single. “Akamdinelu” remained a top-40 mainstay in 2025, underlining Mercy’s rare ability to keep multiple songs active—and heavily played—at the same time.
TY Bello (feat. Dunsin Oyekan) — “Ire Ti De”
Prayer-poetry meets prophetic worship. Though released in 2024, its 2025 chart run and live-video recirculation turned it into a year-two story, lifting streams in the first half of the year.
