Slain Punjabi rapper-singer Moose Wala, who passed away in 2022, achieved this feat posthumously. His inclusion in the top 5 among global hip-hop artists highlights the impact he made during his career.
Joining Moose Wala in the top 10 is fellow Indian rapper and singer-songwriter Badshah. His placement in the top 10 reflects the increasing global recognition of Indian hip-hop talent.
Both these Punjabi artists join a roster of international artists including Drake, Travis Scott, Eminem, Kendrick Lamar, Nicki Minaj, Juice WRLD, and XXXTentacion.
Commenting on this historic achievement, Badshah said, “It’s surreal to think that just a few years ago, Indian hip-hop was still an underground movement. Today, we’re sharing the stage with some of the biggest names in the industry. It’s a bittersweet feeling to celebrate this achievement without Sidhu paaji by our side. His loss is deeply felt by the entire hip-hop community. His legacy will forever inspire us to push the boundaries and represent our culture on a global scale. We’ll continue to carry his torch and make him proud.”
Other Punjabi artists like Diljit Dosanjh and Karan Aujla secured the 15th and 38th positions respectively. Their placement in the top 50 indicates increasing international recognition for Indian artists. As Indian hip hop gains momentum, its global appeal is expected to continue growing.
On an additional note, Badshah continues to dominate the Indian music charts with ‘Soulmate’. The soulful track, featured on his third studio album ‘Ek Tha Raja’, has achieved a significant milestone by surpassing 100 million streams on Spotify. The track has resonated with audiences worldwide, capturing hearts with its poignant lyrics and captivating melody. The collaboration between Badshah and the renowned singer Arijit Singh proved to be a winning combination, resulting in a chart-topping success.
Commenting on the achievement, Badshah expressed his gratitude, said, “I’m incredibly grateful for the overwhelming response to ‘Soulmate.’ Reaching this milestone is a dream come true, and it wouldn’t have been possible without the support of my fans and Arijit dada. I’m excited to continue creating music that resonates with people around the world.”
