Pasoori, sung by Ali Sethi and Shae Gill, is the most Googled song in the world this year.

Pasoori, a Punjabi song sung by Ali and Shae Gill, was released on the 14th season of Coke Studio earlier this year. The song found popularity on social media platforms like TikTok and Instagram as a trending audio, which led to several covers across the world. The song beat BTS’ Butter despite the band’s immense popularity globally. BTS have another song in the top 10--Dynamite at number. Along with Imagine Dragons (who have Enemy and Believer at the 5th and 6th spots respectively), they are the only group with multiple entries in the list.

Two Indian songs found place in the top 10. Aditya A’s Chaand Baaliyan, which was a viral success like Pasoori, beat several global hits to be at number 3 in the list. Srivalli, the song from last year’s Telugu hit Pushpa: The Rise, rounded off the list at number 10. The data from Google mentions Javed Ali as the singer of Srivalli which implies that it is the Hindi version of the song that ranks here. The original Telugu version has been sung by Sid Sriram. The song has been composed by Devi Sri Prasad.

Some surprise entries in the list include Ainsi bas la vida, a 2014 song by French performer Indila, which is at number 8, and Backstreet Boys’ 1997 smash hit Everybody, which finds its way to number 9 a quarter of a century after its release.
