“This year’s most-streamed song on Spotify in India is Señorita, by the couple that took the summer by storm - Shawn Mendes and Camilla Cabello, followed by Kabir Singh’s Tujhe Kitna Chahne Lage by Arijit Singh & Mithoon, and Bekhayali by Sachet Tandon and Parampara Thakur. Speaking of Kabir Singh, it's also the album that won Indian hearts, and is the most-streamed album on Spotify in the country.” said Spotify in a press release.

The year was also good for Arijit Singh, who sang three of the top 10 — who became the most-streamed artist in India. Arijit was followed by Tanishk Bagchi who sang Makhna; Neha Kakkar — the voice behind O Saki Saki, and Badshah who sang Mercy.

“We were also thrilled to see Tanishk Bagchi, Dhvani Bhanushali and Asees Kaur occupy the top three positions in the list of top breakout* artists from India, with fans gained across the world. Among international artists, users streamed Post Malone extensively, making him the only non-Indian artist to feature in the country's top-streamed artists list in 2019” said Spotify.
