Here are some of the songs and artists Pakistanis enjoyed in 2023:
1.Kaifi Khalil
The 27-year-old Kana Yaari singer was right at the top of the charts with his smash romantic melody ‘Mujhay Pyaar Hua’.
Even though the track was released in 2022 and was the theme song for ARY Digital drama serial, Mujhe Pyar Hua Tha; it remained as one of the most listened tracks in 2023 and relieved recognition across and beyond Pakistan.
He also released a new track in 2023 called Mansoob which has more than 4,700,000 listens on Spotify.
2.Abdul Hannan
In collaboration with Shahmeer Raza Khan, Abdul Hannan released an EP called Diya. Other singles included Raabta and Kehdena featuring Annural Khalid and ChillBazaar.
However, his songs from the former year remained Pakistan’s favourite as Iraaday and Bikhra (both in collaboration with Rovalio) were among Spotify’s top tracks in Pakistan.
3.Natasha Noorani
The ever-talented Natasha Noorani released her debut LP, Ronaq, in 2023 – a groovy, electro vibe.
4.Singers beyond borders
Indo-Canadian, AP Dhillon’s With You charted among the most listened songs in Pakistan. This was not only because of its lyrics and vibe, but also because of its cute music video featuring the singer Banita Sandhu.
Likewise, Shubh, Indian rapper-singer based in Canada, also took over the charts with his song, One Love. His album called Still Rollin featuring the famous song, Cheques, was also released.
5.Hasan Raheem
Our favourite, Hasan Raheem released his EP in September. Its track list includes the song, Wishes featuring Umair and Talwiinder – which everyone is vibing to these days!
