June 26 - June 28, 2026 — "The Top 20 Countdown"

June 26 - June 28, 2026 — "The Top 20 Countdown" The Bridge is available on the iHeart Radio app Episode 563 ON TODAY'S SHOW It's the weekend on The Bridge — the Top 20 Countdown, Friday through Sunday. The top holds firm: Saivi Fareed's Naa Pushde stays at No1 for a second week, with Diljit Dosanjh and AR Rahman's Kya Kamaal Hai locked in behind it at No2. But underneath them, the board completely reshuffles — nine new songs crack the Top 20 this week, the biggest turnover in a month. Satinder Sartaaj's Sufi cut Nazma'n Di Paalki and the Jasmine Sandlas, Gurlez Akhtar, and Neeshita Kumar collab Jindua debut near the top. Emiway Bantai's Primo, D'Evil and Tandon's No Topi, Ninja's 2 Ghode, Karan Aujla's Low Fade, Pritam's Bandhu 2.0, Sultaan's Studio Gangsters, and Arijit Singh and Pritam's Tujhko all enter for the first time — pushing last week's tail off the board. A few old reliables cool at the bottom: Faqeeran, Mashooqa, and 1 Day slide to the back of the count. Sammy counts them down from No20 to No1 — the songs the diaspora moved the most this week.
