July 3 - July 5 2026 — "The Top 20 Countdown"

July 3 - July 5 2026 — "The Top 20 Countdown" The Bridge is available on the iHeart Radio appEpisode 559 ON TODAY'S SHOW It's the weekend on The Bridge — the Top 20 Countdown, Friday through Sunday, and this is the biggest chart shakeup in months. Satinder Sartaaj's Nazma'n Di Paalki debuts straight at No1 — Punjabi Sufi taking the top of the count in a chart that's been dominated by Bollywood, Punjabi hip-hop, and mainland crossovers. Fifteen new entries land this week — a near-total refresh — leaving only five carryovers from last week's board, and every single one of them fell. Saivi Fareed's Naa Pushde, last week's No1, plummets seven places to No8. Diljit Dosanjh and AR Rahman's Kya Kamaal Hai slides from No2 to No10. Amit Trivedi's Dushman Ka Dada drops ten to No14. Sonu Nigam and Sunidhi Chauhan's Suno Naa Dil down fourteen to No19. And AP Dhillon and Boi-1da's Born Winner takes the harshest hit of the week — falling from No3 all the way to No20. The debuts stack deep at the top: Talwiinder and NDS's Kyun at No2, Ritviz's Teyi at No3, Arijit Singh and Pritam's Tujkho at No4, Jasmine Sandlas and company on Jindua at No5, and D'Evil and Tandon's No Topi at No6. A mainland hip-hop pocket emerges in the middle — Emiway Bantai's Primo at No11 and Sultaan's Studio Gangsters at No12 — the deepest stack of mainland rap this show's countdown has ever carried. And Bandhu 2.0 debuts at No17, the payoff of DJ Geet's Song of the Week feature. Sammy counts them down from No20 to No1 — the songs the diaspora moved the most this week.
