Kar GayiChull from Kapoor & Sons ruled all the charts and was the runaway hit of the year.

Gerua from Dilwale figured on only one chart, perhaps because it was released in 2015, albeit towards the end of that year. However, the number of YouTube hits that its video received more than justified the no.2 position of this stunningly photographed song.

There was consensus across charts that Baby Ko Bass Pasand Hai from Sultan was the other major hit of 2016.

The 113 most popular Hindi-Urdu songs of 2016

Sources of the Top 109:

RM: Radio Mirchi

SC: Super Cinema

Ggl: A Google search for the Top Hindi songs of 2016, made in the first week of Jan 2017, yielded the names of 14 songs. Seven of them were not from films and the names of their albums were not mentioned. Nor were the names of their composers, lyricists or singers. Therefore, the identities of these songs had to be guessed by running those titles through YouTube’s ‘search’ facility. Other details were gathered from YouTube or, in some cases, Hindi Geet Mala.

Hindi Geet Mala: the credits of all film songs have been cross-checked with Hindi Geet Mala, an extremely comprehensive, encyclopædic archive of popular Hindi-Urdu music.

Z/ YT stands for Zee Music/ YouTube. In the 25th February 2017 issue of Super Cinema Zee Music took out a two-page advertisement titled, ‘YouTube Top 15 songs of year 2016.’

Indpaedia had already posted its annual chart for 2016 in mid-January 2017, based on three respected sources. Therefore, there was no reason for us to re-do our charts. Besides, it is extremely time-consuming to redo a table.

However, Zee Music claimed that its ranking of the top 15 songs of 2016 was based on YouTube views.

That is Indpaedia’s long-term goal for itself: to create charts based on that extremely objective and unexceptionable criterion, YouTube views.

Zee’s chart was compiled in late February 2017. Therefore, songs released in November and December 2016 rank higher than they would have if the chart had been compiled on 1 Jan 2017.

All the same, because Zee claimed to have used the YouTube criterion we have redone our chart to include Zee’s compilation of the Top 15 songs of 2016.
