Punjabi inside this ranking26 of the top 100 are tagged PunjabiWorth 27.27 billion views between them. This board is deliberately not language-filtered, so Punjabi releases compete here against every other Indian-language upload we track.
How this data is collected
Every figure in the table above is read from the official YouTube Data API — the same counter YouTube prints under the video itself. Nothing is scraped from another website, and no number here is an estimate, a projection or a chart position we assigned.
A scheduled job on our server re-reads the whole catalogue once a day, at 18:30 server time, and writes the new totals straight into the table you are reading. The most recent successful refresh for this ranking finished on 26 September 2026, 18:33.
View counts are YouTube's own public totals, so they count plays and not listeners: repeat plays by the same person are included, which is part of why long-running Punjabi hits keep climbing years after release.
Each upload is tracked as its own row. An official video, a lyric video and a live performance of the same song are three separate uploads with three separate counters, so the same title can legitimately appear more than once in the ranking — the numbers are never merged, because YouTube does not merge them.
This board is the widest one on the site: every tracked upload with a view count, in any Indian language, with the Punjabi releases included rather than split out.
Songs are added when we find them on an official artist or record-label channel. We embed YouTube's player and host no audio or video files ourselves. A total can also fall or vanish: if an upload is deleted or set to private on YouTube its counter stops, and the row leaves this ranking at the next refresh.
Frequently asked questions
Which Indian song has the most YouTube views?
It is “Hanuman Chalisa” by Hariharan, on 5,754,421,935 views at the last refresh on 26 September 2026. “Lehanga” by Jass Manak is second with 1,875,293,676. “52 GAJ KA DAMAN” by RENUKA PANWAR is third on 1,789,286,579.
How many Indian songs have passed 100 million views?
2,525 of the 24,673 uploads ranked on this page are past 100 million views, and 48 of those have gone past 1 billion. Both counts move on their own as the daily refresh runs.
How often does this ranking update?
Once a day. A scheduled job re-reads every tracked upload from the YouTube Data API at 18:30 server time and rewrites the totals, so positions can change overnight without anyone editing the page. This ranking last refreshed on 26 September 2026, 18:33.
Why does the same song appear more than once?
Because YouTube counts each upload separately and so do we. The official video, the lyric video and a live version of one song are three different videos with three different counters, and merging them would invent a number YouTube never published.
Do these totals include Spotify or Apple Music streams?
No. Every number on this page is YouTube only. Streams on Spotify, Apple Music, JioSaavn or radio play are not counted here, and YouTube's figure includes repeat plays by the same viewer.
Can a song's total go down or disappear?
Yes. If a channel deletes an upload, sets it to private or the video is blocked, its counter stops updating and the row drops out of this ranking at the next daily refresh. That is also why a song you saw here previously may no longer be listed.
Which language dominates the most viewed Indian songs?
Hindi, with 62 of the current top 100 uploads and 72,697,875,414 views across them. The full spread at the top right now is Hindi (62), Punjabi (26), Haryanvi (4). Because this page ranks individual uploads rather than artists or films, one soundtrack released as several separate videos occupies several rows.
Does this Indian ranking include Punjabi songs?
Yes. Unlike the like and comment boards, this page applies no language filter at all — every tracked upload with a view count is eligible, Punjabi included. 26 of the current top 100 rows carry a Punjabi tag, holding 27,270,744,265 views between them. The separate most-viewed Punjabi page runs the same data through a Punjabi-only filter, which is why its totals are smaller and its order is different.
