Accra, Ghana – May 9, 2026 – Powerhouse gospel singer Diana Hamilton has once again been crowned the Best Gospel Artiste of the Year at the 27th Telecel Ghana Music Awards (TGMA). The prestigious ceremony, held at the Grand Arena in Accra, saw Hamilton, known for her hit single ‘Adom’, reclaim the top spot in the genre, solidifying her position as a dominant force in contemporary African gospel music.
A Fiercely Contested Crown
The Gospel Artiste of the Year category is consistently one of the most anticipated and emotionally charged awards at the TGMA. This year’s edition proved no different, with Hamilton facing stiff competition from a lineup of highly respected gospel musicians.
Nominees vying for the coveted award included Piesie Esther, MOG Music, Kofi Owusu Peprah, Mabel Okyere, and Nana Yaw Ofori-Attah. The strength of the nominees underscored the vibrant and competitive nature of Ghana’s gospel music scene.
‘Aha Ye’ Factor Drives Victory
Industry observers attribute Diana Hamilton’s triumphant return to the pinnacle of gospel music largely to the immense success of her single ‘Aha Ye (The Good Place)’. The track, a collaboration featuring Ntokozo Mbambo and Elder Mireku, resonated deeply with audiences.
‘Aha Ye’ masterfully blended traditional Ghanaian praise elements with sophisticated, modern production. This innovative approach allowed the song to dominate gospel music charts and receive extensive airplay throughout the year.
The award recognizes more than just vocal talent; it acknowledges an artiste’s holistic impact on the industry. This includes their digital footprint, engagement with fans through events, and their overall contribution to the spiritual and musical landscape of Ghana.
