As The Dawn News first reported.

Hamza Malik and Zain Zohaib’s ‘Alfaaz’ is a smash hit in a way we’re having trouble describing with words — so, we’ll use numbers instead.

The song reached another milestone on Monday, as Genius — a website which lays claim to being the world’s largest collection of song lyrics — announced ‘Alfaaz’ had topped its weekly charts.

The song has had a steady performance on the Genius weekly chart, first appearing at number six on October 5, then spending two weeks in fifth place. This week’s chart saw the song climb two places from number three to the top spot.

Other songs on the list included ‘Housewife’ by Tate McRae, ‘Creep’ by Radiohead and Eminem’s 14-year-old rap classic ‘Lose Yourself ’, which placed third, fourth and fifth, respectively.

Genius is not the only place ‘Alfaaz’ is topping charts; the song remained the most popular song in Pakistan and India on Tuesday, a position it also held last week.

Globally, it remains in the daily Top 50 charts, having climbed one space to number 38 from the last time we reported its position on Thursday.

At the time, a press release from the studio behind the song — Giraffe — called its success “unprecedented” for a Pakistani song and called it an “example of how far a song can travel when it finds its audience”.

‘Alfaaz’ has also maintained its position at second place on the UK’s Indian-dominated Official Asian Music Chart.

This is the studio’s second chart-topper after Sheheryar Rehan and Zoha Waseem’s ‘Majboor’ last year, which also topped Spotify’s Pakistan chart and peaked at second place on the India chart.

Giraffe said both songs were “different stories that different artists and trajectories shaped, but together they reflect the possibilities that emerge when compelling music meets the right audience and continues to find new ones”.
