July 31, 2026 — "The Top 20 Countdown"

The Bridge is available on the iHeart Radio app
Episode 588
Weekend Countdown — Airs Friday July 31 through Sunday August 2


ON TODAY'S SHOW

It's the weekend on The Bridge — the Top 20 Countdown, Friday through Sunday, and Coffee holds the crown. Amrinder Gill and Jasmeen Akhtar stay at No1 for a second straight week while the board beneath them erupts: eight new entries and two massive surges. Farak's Taare rockets from No8 to No2, and Shalmali Kholgade's Giraft climbs to No3 — top three in its third week, the live-on-The-Bridge debut still gathering speed. Cheema Y and Gur Sidhu land the week's highest debut with Rebel at No4 and double up with Money 2X at No18. The legacy voices arrive in force: Mohit Chauhan's Kaun Hai Woh at No17, Papon and Irshad Kamil's Apne Khilaaf at No16, Ankur Tewari's Kasam Se at No15, and Aparshakti Khurana's Manmohneya at No13. Kaka's Shehzaadi enters at No10. Xefer's Tor Chaya climbs to No14. Former No1s slide — Sahib Samra's Hor Das to No11, and Satinder Sartaaj's Nazma'n Di Paalki exits the count after its historic two-week reign. Sammy counts them down from No20 to No1 — the songs the diaspora moved the most this week.

Weekend Countdown — Airs Friday July 24 through Sunday July 26


ON TODAY'S SHOW

It's the weekend on The Bridge — the Top 20 Countdown, Friday through Sunday, and the throne changes hands again. Amrinder Gill and Jasmeen Akhtar's Coffee climbs from No2 to take No1, while Sahib Samra's Hor Das slides to No7 after a single week's reign. Shubh's Sohniye rises to No2 and D'Evil and Tandon's No Topi to No3. The climbers tell the week's story: Prabh Deep's Jaago surges nine places to No5, Guru Randhawa's Qeher jumps to No4, and Ammy Virk's Lost In You climbs seven to No12. The debuts carry show DNA: Xefer's Tor Chaya enters at No18 — days after she sat with Sammy on Monday's show — and Shalmali Kholgade's Giraft keeps climbing to No9 in its second week. Farak's Taare crashes in at No8, the highest debut of the week, with Jasleen Royal's Inaam at No17 and Chani Nattan, Inderpal Moga, and Jazzy B's She Knows at No14. Satinder Sartaaj's Nazma'n Di Paalki eases to No13. Sammy counts them down from No20 to No1 — the songs the diaspora moved the most this week.

July 20, 2026 — “Sammy Interviews Xefer”

The Bridge is available on the iHeart Radio app
Episode 579


ON TODAY'S SHOW

Sammy Chand opens the week with Bangladeshi star Xefer — the self-taught singer, songwriter, and now actress whose journey from YouTube covers to 150-million-view hits is one of the great organic artist stories in South Asian music — at 24:12. Her presence brackets the hour: Tor Chaya, the song she composed and stars alongside in the film Tumi Ami Shudhu, sets the table before the conversation, and Jhumka — her landmark collaboration with Muza — carries the hour out of it. Sahib Samra's Hor Das opens the show at the top — the current chart No1. Shubh's Sohniye. D'Evil and Tandon's No Topi. Ammy Virk's Lost In You. Jasleen Royal's Inaam. Chani Nattan, Inderpal Moga, and Jazzy B on She Knows. Badshah and Hiten's Velvet Flow. Harkirat Sangha closes the hour with Ecstasy. Plus Dr. Roy with the Word On The Avenue, Meera Sharma with the Mindful Sass, Daniel Johnson with UN News, and Doyeeta Das Gupta with the Artist Spotlight. Sammy delivers the closing remarks.
