Gaise Baba has set a new benchmark in Nigerian gospel music with his latest release, No Turning Back II, featuring Lawrence Oyor. The song soared to No. 4 on the TurnTable Top 100 chart, making it the highest-ranking gospel track in the history of the chart. TurnTable gathers its rankings from data across major Nigerian streaming services, radio stations, and television platforms.
This achievement surpasses the previous gospel chart records—Lawrence Oyor’s Favour, which peaked at No. 23, and We Will Be Many by Sounds of Salem featuring Lawrence Oyor and Moses Akoh Jr., which reached No. 26. Notably, all three tracks feature Lawrence Oyor, reinforcing his growing influence in the genre.
No Turning Back II stands out for its uplifting lyrics, modern production, and a familiar message rooted in the timeless hymn I Have Decided to Follow Jesus. The song has resonated widely with listeners and gained massive traction on TikTok, where challenges and user-generated content have helped fuel its viral spread.
The song’s commercial success is part of a broader trend showing renewed interest and rising momentum for gospel music in Nigeria. With platforms like TikTok helping to bridge traditional gospel with younger audiences, the genre continues to expand its reach and relevance in today’s music scene. Gaise Baba’s achievement signals not just a personal win, but a significant moment for gospel artists across the country.
