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.
