Talha Anjum Crowned Pakistan’s Most-Streamed Artist of 2024, Surpassing Atif Aslam

Talha Anjum dethrones Atif Aslam to emerge as Pakistan’s most-streamed artist in Spotify Wrapped 2024. As the year wraps up, Spotify’s annual review highlights the trends that captured listeners’ attention, and Anjum’s dominance emphasizes the growing appeal of hip-hop in Pakistan.

Talha Anjum Dethrones Atif Aslam as the Nation’s Favorite

For the first time in three years, Atif Aslam, a household name in Pakistan, has been unseated from his position as the country’s most-streamed artist. Talha Anjum, a key figure in Pakistan’s hip-hop scene, claimed the top spot thanks to his prolific output and relatable lyrics. His chart-topping album *Open Letter* and standout singles like *COME THROUGH* have struck a chord with listeners across the country.

Joining Anjum in the spotlight is Umair, who secured the second position, while Atif Aslam slid to third. The late Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, a timeless icon, and Talhah Yunus, Anjum’s collaborator, rounded out the top five. The data signals a shift in listener preferences, with younger audiences gravitating towards contemporary genres.

Highlights from Spotify Wrapped 2024

Spotify Wrapped 2024 also shared the most-streamed songs and albums. Among local tracks, *Jhol* by Maanu and Annural Khalid took the top spot, followed by *Wishes* by Hasan Raheem, Umair, and Talwiinder. Umair’s *ROCKSTAR WITHOUT A GUITAR* emerged as the most-streamed album, while Anjum’s *Open Letter* took second place.

Internationally, artists like Arijit Singh and Anuv Jain continued to dominate. Tracks like Jain’s *Husn* and *Jo Tum Mere Ho* featured prominently, reflecting their cross-border appeal. The resurgence of Spotify’s A.S.L.I playlist also signaled an 80% spike in monthly listeners for Pakistani hip-hop.

Was Hania Aamir Missing from Nayel Wajahat’s Big Day?

In a digital world where timing often speaks louder than words, a sweet yet belated birthday wish from actress Hania Aamir to singer Nayel Wajahat has stirred a pot of playful speculation. Posted a full 24 hours after Nayel’s birthday on June 2, Hania’s minimalistic message—”Happy birthday Nayel”—on her Instagram story was as sincere as it was succinct. But was it also subtly loaded?

Nayel, the youngest star in the illustrious Wajahat family, has been rapidly building a name for himself with his boundary-pushing music that threads through hip-hop, R&B, and modern pop. With his January 2025 collaboration with Hasan Raheem on the hit track Roop, he stepped firmly into the spotlight, not just as Wajahat Rauf and Shazia Wajahat’s son, but as a standalone artist with a vibrant creative pulse.

So when his birthday came around, it’s no surprise the celebrations drew attention—though not everyone seemed to be in attendance.

Enter Hania. The actress, known not only for her acting chops but her bubbly social media presence and close camaraderie with industry peers, was conspicuously quiet on June 2. Her eventual birthday wish on June 3—cordial but conspicuously brief—was enough to raise a collective eyebrow online. Was she simply late to the party—or was she not at the party at all?

The entertainment industry’s Gen Z circle is famously tight-knit and chronically online, making even the slightest lapse in timing feel monumental. Fans began to wonder if Hania, typically front and center at such events, had been left off the guest list or simply couldn’t make it.

That said, it’s equally possible that Hania’s message was just a low-key nod to a friend, without fanfare or subtext—something refreshingly human in an age of performative posts. It could even speak to the kind of bond where formalities like “on-time wishes” don’t really matter.

He has appeared on many shows and he has also performed live. He was a guest on Hina Niazi’s show and defended himself against all the criticism that he keeps getting.

Chahat Fateh Ali Khan spoke about how many people are jealous of him and he knows that they do not consider him a singer. He revealed that many other singers refuse to perform at any event that he is performing at. He added that many Pakistani singers and musicians do not like him and they have a lot of arrogance.

Chahat Fateh Ali Khan further added that Noor Jahan did not become famous due to Bado Badi. Neither Mumtaz got fame due to that song. He also said that his song is totally different from the original Bado Badi. He said everyone is doing “chaan chaan” for no reason. My song is for females and it is totally different. People ask stupid questions. I am doing what I enjoy and people who criticize can go their own way.
