Commenting on the launch of Spotify Charts in Pakistan, Claudius Boller, Managing Director for the region at Spotify, said, “Spotify is a platform that strives continuously to work on deepening the connection between artists and fans. With Spotify Charts, we are acknowledging and celebrating the role that fans have in an artist’s journey. These Charts are made by fans as they are the ones who open doors of possibilities for artists.”
Ali Sethi, whose song “Pasoori” featuring Shae Gill has been in the top 5 on Spotify’s Viral 50 Global chart, expressed his excitement over Spotify Charts coming to Pakistan. “We envisioned Pasoori as a celebration of hybridity and inclusion and we’re blown away by how it has been received around the world. We wanted to make musical connections between the hand-claps of qawwali and flamenco, between raga and pop, between the message of ancient mysticism and modern-day movements for equality and representation. I think Pasoori achieved all that and then some. I’m so proud that Pasoori is Pakistan’s first song to top Spotify’s Viral 50 chart. It proves music is a universal language. I want to congratulate the wonderful people who helped make Pasoori — Shae, Abdullah, Xulfi, Kamal, Hashim and their teams. And congratulations also to Spotify charts for finally landing in Pakistan! Here’s to many more breakthroughs.”
