With the release of P-POP CULTURE, Punjabi powerhouse KARAN AUJLA has propelled Punjabi music to new heights, marking one of the strongest global debuts ever for a Punjabi-language album.
The album’s first week has been nothing short of explosive, achieving historic milestones across streaming platforms and charts worldwide. P-POP CULTURE debuted at #1 on Spotify in both India and Pakistan, and #4 in Canada, while also taking the #1 spot on Apple Music in all three countries. Upon release, all 11 songs on the album entered the Spotify Top 200 and Apple Music Top 50 charts in India, Canada, and Pakistan. This immense success was mirrored on social media, where all 11 songs trended on Instagram in India on the day of release. In Canada, the project debuted at #3 on the Billboard Canadian Albums Chart with 12.4 million streams – marking the highest debut for a Punjabi-language album in Canadian history, a record that surpasses Aujla’s own Making Memories from 2023. In America, the album debuted at the #19 position on the US Billboard World Albums chart.

This success is a testament to his groundbreaking artistry and his ability to resonate with a global audience. The phenomenal results we’re seeing worldwide solidify his status as a trailblazer, and we’re proud to be his partner in bringing this cultural movement to the world.”

A bold fusion of Punjabi pop and hip-hop, P-POP CULTURE is both a tribute to the soil that raised Karan Aujla and a call to the world to embrace the sound of a new revolution. It captures the dual force of Aujla himself – raw and refined, heart and hustle – balancing pop melodies drenched in love and nostalgia with hip-hop fire where bars hit hard and truths hit harder. More than just an album, it marks the rise of P-Pop – not just a genre, but a culture and a movement. With P-POP CULTURE, Aujla has unleashed a global force, and P-Pop is here to stay.
