Countdown Show - June 5 - June 7

June 5 - June 7, 2026 — "The Top 20 Countdown" The Bridge is available on the iHeart Radio app Episode 548 ON TODAY'S SHOW It's Friday on The Bridge — the Top 20 Countdown that closes out the week. And the chart has reset. Darshan Raval's Only Mine takes No1 — Hindi reclaiming the top spot after two consecutive weeks of non-Hindi No1s (Marathi the week before, Tamil the week before that). Last week's No1 Bangles by Sanju Rathod drops eight spots to No13. Sahib Samra's 1 Day climbs to No2. Saivi Fareed's Naa Pushde at No3. The week's biggest climb belongs to Kushagra — Starstruck rises nine spots from No15 to No6. And three Rashmeet Kaur songs land in the top 20 the same week she sat on this show: Ranjha Ranjha debuting at No18, Chor at No11, and Faqeeran (Live) at No4. Four debuts this week: Ranjha Ranjha, Chor, Born Winner (AP Dhillon and Boi-1da), and Mashooqa (Pritam). Dhee's history-making Tamil No1 Vari Vari sits at No8, still holding three weeks after its run at the top. Sammy counts down from No20 to No1 — the songs the diaspora is moving the most this week.
