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.
