\n Islamabad
\nSpotify Pakistan has unveiled its latest Global Impact list, showcasing the top 30 Pakistani tracks making waves internationally in the past six months. Through this ranking, Spotify celebrates artists whose tracks were in heavy rotation outside their home countries, reinforcing its commitment to appreciating and amplifying local culture.
\nLeading the list is Talha Anjum, who, alongside RADAR Pakistan artist Umair, dominates multiple spots with tracks like love lost, smile, Heartbreak Kid, and Departure Lane. His collaborations, including REGRETS with Jevin Gill and Umair, and BTDT (Been There Done That) with Bilal Saeed, have significantly expanded the global reach of Pakistani hip-hop.
\nWith hip-hop leading the charge, making up over 60% of the top 30 tracks, Pakistan\u2019s music scene is making a powerful impact worldwide. The list also features major contributions from artists like Shamoon Ismail, Jokhay, JJ47, and superdupersultan, cementing the genre\u2019s influence beyond borders.
\nSpotify\u2019s Senior Editor for Pakistan, Sri Lanka & Bangladesh, Rutaba Yaqub, said, \u201cIt\u2019s incredible to see Pakistani music transcend borders and reach new audiences. The dominance of Pakistani hip-hop tracks on the Global Impact List speaks to the genre\u2019s power in storytelling and its growing fan base locally and worldwide. With our handmade curated playlists like A.S.L.I, Desi Hip Hop and nayi bars supporting local talent, we\u2019re excited to see where the next wave of Pakistani artists will go.\u201d
\nThe popularity of hip-hop in Pakistan has been on a steep rise with its annual consumption growing by over 180%, where Spotify\u2019s biggest Pakistani hip-hop playlist, A.S.L.I, plays a crucial role in amplifying the voices of local artists. The A.S.L.I playlist has provided a platform for emerging and established hip-hop artists to reach international listeners, fostering a growing community of fans who appreciate the raw, authentic storytelling that defines Pakistani hip-hop.
\nAs Pakistani music continues to make waves internationally, Spotify remains committed to supporting local talent and bringing their voices to the global stage.
