Karan Aujla’s ‘Ashke’ Is No. 1 in India—and Charting Across Five Markets

“Ashke” has emerged as the clearest chart leader from Karan Aujla’s AUJLA SZN 1. In ChartStats’ Apple Music snapshot dated October 3, the song sits at No. 1 in India and remains active in four other national Top 100 charts. That gives the track an India-first result with a wider diaspora footprint—without turning one platform’s changing rankings into a claim about worldwide streams, sales or listener totals.

The timing makes the snapshot particularly useful. Apple Music dates the EP to September 25, placing this reading eight days after its release. AUJLA SZN 1 is a compact five-song set running 17 minutes, so “Ashke” is not being measured against an expansive album catalogue. It is the front-runner in the first available chart picture for a tightly assembled project.

The remaining tracks are “Real Bad Man,” “Straight Up,” “Rap Killa (feat. Azaad 4L)” and “Aujla Szn.” Together, they establish the scale of the release. The chart evidence here is narrower: it follows “Ashke” across five markets rather than claiming that every track has reached the same positions.

India leads a sharply varied five-market snapshot

ChartStats places “Ashke” at No. 1 in India on October 3. Canada supplies its highest listed position outside India at No. 6, followed by New Zealand at No. 18, the United Arab Emirates at No. 23 and Australia at No. 68.

The distance between those ranks is as revealing as the five-country count. “Ashke” leads the India chart captured by the tracker, holds a top-10 place in Canada and appears further down the respective lists in New Zealand, the UAE and Australia. The result shows a shared presence across several Punjabi-listening markets, but not identical performance in each one.

It is also important to keep the unit of measurement clear. These are ranks for one song on national Apple Music charts at a stated point in time. They do not disclose how many times “Ashke” was played, how many individual listeners chose it or how the full EP ranks as a single unit. The numbers work best as a dated picture of relative position within each market.

For anyone approaching the EP through its current chart activity, “Ashke” is the obvious starting point. The five-track release is available on Apple Music, with four other songs completing the 17-minute set. Its next meaningful chart development will come from another dated reading; for October 3, the headline belongs to an India No. 1 with active positions in four markets beyond it.
