A Year On, 'Arz Kiya Hai' Is Still Spotify India's No. 1 — And It's Not Slowing Down

Mumbai: A year is a long time in the streaming world - most hits have their moment and move on. 'Arz Kiya Hai' hasn't gotten the memo.

The Anuv Jain and Lost Stories collaboration, which dropped as part of Coke Studio Bharat in August 2025, has just done something no track from the show has managed before: taken the No. 1 spot on Spotify India's Daily Top Songs chart, more than a year after it first came out.

The numbers tell their own story. The song has racked up over 484 million audio streams and 260 million YouTube views, while inspiring more than 17.7 million pieces of user-generated content - reels, covers, edits - from fans who clearly aren't tired of it yet. It even made a dent internationally, peaking at No. 71 on Spotify's Global Top Songs chart.

For Anuv Jain, the milestone still feels a little surreal. "I never imagined that even a year later, the song would continue to reach new listeners and become No. 1 on Spotify India," he said.

Shantanu Gangane, IMX Lead at Coca-Cola India and Southwest Asia, echoed that sentiment, pointing to the song's staying power as proof of something deeper than a viral moment. "Its continued presence on the charts a year after its release shows just how deeply this song has connected with people," he said.

With poetry-laced lyrics wrapped in Lost Stories' electronic production, 'Arz Kiya Hai' was always a bit of an outlier in the Coke Studio Bharat lineup. A year later, it's proving that the unusual combination - shayari meets synth - has genuine, lasting pull with listeners.
