Talha Anjum is ‘Mr Most Streamed’, Spotify has confirmed.

As 2024 draws to a close, the music streaming giant has unveiled its data for music lovers nationwide. Spotify Wrapped 2024 is finally out, spotlighting music that dominated locally and globally.

We all know Talha Anjum has released a lot of music this year and in case it wasn’t obvious — with the rapper repeatedly calling himself ‘Mr Most Streamed’ — he has emerged as the most-streamed local artist of 2024, dethroning Atif Aslam, who dominated the top spot for three consecutive years.

Joining Anjum on top are rising sensation Umair in second place and the legendary Atif Aslam in third. The timeless “Shahenshah-e-Qawwali” Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan and the dynamic Talhah Yunus are the top five local artists in Pakistan.

Other notable mentions among the most-streamed local artists include Abdul Hannan, AUR, Hasan Raheem, and Maanu.

In terms of most streamed international artists in Pakistan, Arijit Singh continued his reign at the top followed by Pritam, Karan Aujla, Shubh and Sidhu Moose Wala making up the leading quintet on the list, with Anjum, Umair and Aslam also standing tall, ranking on the sixth, ninth and tenth overall.

Annural Khalid, the first woman artist to be featured on Spotify’s RADAR earlier this year, has emerged as Pakistan’s top woman artist of the year 2024, solidifying her place as a trailblazer in the music industry.

Maanu and Annural Khalid’s melodic track ‘Jhol’ was revealed as the most-streamed song by Pakistani artists, closely followed by Hasan Raheem, Umair and Talwiinder’s ‘Wishes’ and AUR’s ‘Tu Hai Kahan’.

The rise of emerging talents like Aashir Wajahat, NAYEL and Nehaal Naseem for their song, ‘Sadqay’, and the consistent popularity of Abdul Hannan and Rovalio’s, ‘Bikhra’ and ‘Iraaday’ is also evident with their songs making it to the most-streamed local songs list.

‘Husn’ by Anuv Jain was the most-streamed track in Pakistan by international artists with ‘Jhol’ making it to the second spot. Anuv Jain took another spot with ‘Jo Tum Mere Ho’ at number three.

Among the top albums by Pakistan’s artists, Umair’s ROCKSTAR WITHOUT A GUITAR led the way, followed by Anjum’s chart-topping Open Letter, and Unforgettable by Imran Khan — joining the ranks of timeless releases like Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan’s Reformed and Asim Azhar’s BEMATLAB.

Spotify’s recently relaunched A.S.L.I playlist, showcasing the best of Pakistani hip-hop, has also driven an 80% surge in monthly listeners, reflecting a growing interest in the genre.
