CHANDIGARH, October 14: The 19-year-old Punjabi rapper Param has become the first Indian female artist to reach #1 on Spotify’s Global Viral 50 chart, just 14 days after releasing her debut track, That Girl.
Produced by Manni Sandhu and released under Collab Creations, the single has rapidly gained global traction, trending at the top in India, Canada, and the UK. The song’s viral success highlights Param’s unique style and the growing global appetite for Punjabi music.
