JioSaavn Replay 2025 maps India’s year in sound

MUMBAI: JioSaavn has turned the volume up on its annual listening recap with the launch of Replay 2025, a data-led snapshot of how India listened through the year. Built from streaming activity between January and mid November 2025, the feature delivers personalised summaries to users while also revealing broader trends shaping the country’s audio habits.

Unsurprisingly for a nation that listens in many tongues, Hindi, Telugu, Punjabi, Tamil and English emerged as the most streamed languages on the platform. Listening peaked during the daily rush hours, with streams surging between 8 and 10 in the morning and again from 5 to 7 in the evening, turning commutes into the country’s busiest listening sessions.

Familiar voices continued to dominate the charts. Arijit Singh led the pack, followed by Alka Yagnik, Pritam Chakraborty, Udit Narayan and Shreya Ghoshal, underlining the enduring appeal of India’s most recognisable playback stars. Alongside them, regional favourites held their own, with artists such as Devi Sri Prasad in Telugu, Anirudh Ravichander in Tamil and Karan Aujla in Punjabi commanding strong followings, while global names like The Weeknd also found space in Indian playlists.

Song choices reflected a similar blend. Tracks such as ‘Saiyaara’, ‘Sahiba’, ‘Bujji Thalli’, ‘Barbaad’ and ‘Apna Bana Le’ ranked among the most streamed overall, while regional favourites including ‘Vazhithunaiye’, ‘Ranu Bombai ki Ranu’, ‘Wavy’, ‘Die With a Smile’ and ‘Paravashanadenu’ showcased the diversity of listening across languages.

Beyond music, podcasts continued to gain traction, reinforcing JioSaavn’s evolution into a multi-format audio platform. Popular titles ranged from devotional offerings like ‘Shri Krishna Amritvani’ and ‘Shiv Puran’ to audio fiction and reflective storytelling such as ‘Yakshini’ and ‘Dhadkane Meri Sun’.

The data extended to JioTunes as well, where caller tunes mirrored wider cultural moods. Classics like ‘Tum Hi Ho’ and ‘Ram Siya Ram’ topped the overall list, while regional picks pointed to growing personalisation driven by language and emotion.

Now live on the JioSaavn app homepage, Replay 2025 offers more than a personal rewind. It doubles as a clear-eyed look at how India’s audio tastes are evolving, one stream at a time.
