His continued rise reflects a year in which love for local music surged, with Pakistani music consumption up 70%.

Top Songs
The Top Pakistani Songs tell an equally expressive story. “Jhol” by Maanu and Annural Khalid holds onto the number one spot, followed by “Pal Pal” by Afusic and AliSoomroMusic and “Maand” by Bayaan, Hasan Raheem and Rovalio. Rounding out the top five are “Departure Lane” by Talha Anjum and Umair, and “Wishes” by Hasan Raheem, Umair and Talwiinder. Together, these tracks show a strong shift fueled by a new wave of younger artists, each adding their own fresh sound and capturing the evolving interests of local audiences.

Safar by Bayaan takes the top spot, followed by My Terrible Mind from Talha Anjum and Umair, ROCKSTAR WITHOUT A GUITAR by Umair, and Open Letter by Talha Anjum and Umair, a lineup that mirrors the rising passion for hip-hop in Pakistan, with the genre growing 35% this year.
