JioSaavn's India Superhits Awards: 'Saiyaara' tops charts, Shreya Ghoshal and Arijit Singh among most-streamed artists
Mumbai, February 11
Music streaming platform JioSaavn, on Wednesday, announced the winners of the second edition of the India Superhits Awards, celebrating the top-charting songs and artists that shaped India's listening habits in the past year.
The awards were determined entirely by streaming and engagement data on the platform from January 1 to December 31, 2025. This indicates that the winners were chosen solely by listeners, not a jury.
The India Superhits Awards cover 10 languages: Hindi, English, Punjabi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam, Bhojpuri, Marathi, and Bengali. In each language, winners were picked in five categories:
Most Streamed Song, Most Streamed Female Artist, Most Streamed Male Artist, Most Streamed Lyricist, and Most Streamed Composer.
In Hindi music, the song starring Ahaan Panday and Aneet Patta, "Saiyaara," topped the charts. Singers Arijit Singh and Shreya Ghoshal were among the most-streamed artists again.
On winning the 'Song of the Year' in Hindi for "Saiyaara," Mohit Suri, according to a release, said, "I was under immense pressure to live up to the legacy of the studio and maintain my track record. I wanted the music of 'Saiyaara' to truly connect with the audience."
Composer Tanishk Bagchi and lyricist Irshad Kamil also topped their categories.
Shreya Ghoshal, who was crowned the Most Streamed Female Artist in both Hindi and Bengali, said in a statement, "I am extremely happy that I have started my year on such a positive note. Winning JioSaavn's India Superhits Awards is very special, as these awards show how much India and my fans love me."
Regional music also had a strong presence, with Bhojpuri and Marathi tracks like "Dilwa Le Ja Rumaal Me" and "Shaky" being heavily played. Artists such as Pawan Singh, Shilpi Raj, and Sanju Rathod remained popular throughout the year.
Southern music continued to grow as well. Singers like Sid Sriram and composers like Jakes Bejoy had a broad reach across India. In Bengali music, Anupam Roy led both the lyricist and composer charts again.

Data-driven awards are the best. It shows what people are actually listening to, not what some panel thinks is good. "Saiyaara" is a decent track, but honestly, I'm more excited about the growth of Southern composers like Jakes Bejoy and Anirudh. Their music is next level.
Pawan Singh and Shilpi Raj in the list! Bhojpuri pop is unstoppable. "Dilwa Le Ja Rumaal Me" was the anthem for our road trips last year. Great to see our local flavours getting national recognition on a platform like JioSaavn.
As someone who recently moved to India, this list is a fantastic guide to catch up on the music scene! From Shreya Ghoshal's classics to these new regional hits. It's amazing how much variety there is across ten languages.
Respectfully, while the data doesn't lie, I feel it heavily favours film music and established names. There are so many incredible independent artists across India who deserve a spotlight. Maybe next year JioSaavn can have a separate category for indie tracks?
Anupam Roy dominating Bengali charts as always! And Sid Sriram's voice is pure magic, glad to see him recognized. This list proves good music has no language barrier. Jio network making sure everyone can stream these hits easily 😊
