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 6 November 2026, 18:42.

Likes are YouTube's own public totals for each upload, counted over the entire lifetime of the video rather than any recent window, so older uploads have had far longer to accumulate them than new releases.

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 covers Indian music in every language, Punjabi included — Punjabi songs are Indian songs, so they are ranked here alongside everything else. It lists uploads that publicly report at least one like; YouTube hides the like count on some videos, and those are left out rather than listed as zero. If you want Punjabi on its own, there is a separate Punjabi most-liked board.

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 likes?

It is “Hanuman Chalisa” by Hariharan, on 22,904,826 likes at the last refresh on 6 November 2026. “Yalgaar” by CarryMinati is second with 18,916,742. “Vaaste Song” by Dhvani Bhanushali & Nikhil D'Souza is third on 14,035,905.

How many Indian songs have passed 1 million likes?

1,906 of the 105,426 uploads ranked on this page are past 1 million likes, and 87 of those have gone past 5 million. 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 6 November 2026, 18:42.

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.

Are these likes only from YouTube?

Yes. This ranking uses YouTube's public per-video likes and nothing else — reactions on Instagram, Spotify or any other platform are not counted.

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.

Does this ranking include Punjabi songs?

Yes. Punjabi music is Indian music, so Punjabi uploads are ranked here alongside Hindi, Tamil, Telugu and everything else — this board applies no language filter at all. Hindi currently holds 28 of the top 50 places; the wider spread at the top is Hindi (28), Punjabi (17), Haryanvi (2). If you want Punjabi releases on their own, there is a separate most-liked Punjabi board, and the most-viewed Indian ranking works the same inclusive way.

Which songs collect the most likes per view?

Inside the current top 50 it is Vardaan by CarryMinati, where 7.51% of views converted into a like — 7,102,132 likes from 94,627,461 views. That rate is a different question from the ranking itself: an upload with ten times the views can sit higher on this page while converting a far smaller share of its audience. We list the like totals YouTube publishes and derive the rate from them, rather than reordering the table by a number YouTube never reports.
