Mercy Chinwo has won several accolades, most notably a African Gospel Award for Best Gospel Artist in West Africa in 2018 and a Nigeria Entertainment Award for Gospel Artist of the Year in 2019.
Among Nigeria’s most sought-after gospel artists, Mercy Chinwo is behind hits like ‘Excess Love’, ‘Na You Dey Reign’ and ‘Obinasom’. In 2021, Africa-facing streaming platform Boomplay’s wrap-up report named her as among the top three most streamed female artists of the year.
