Viral track “Pal Pal” being featured on the “RADAR Pakistan” playlist.
Karachi: Spotify's RADAR Pakistan returns this quarter, spotlighting Afusic as its latest featured artist. Afusic is one of the country’s most compelling emerging voices in the indie music scene, and this milestone marks a significant moment in his rapidly rising career with his viral track “Pal Pal” being featured on the “RADAR Pakistan” playlist.
Affan Khan, better known as
Afusic, has been active in the
local music scene since 2020, drawing initial inspiration from his father,
Jameel Khan. In a short time span, the young artist has carved a unique following
for himself blending South Asian music with contemporary hip-hop and pop. The
popularity of his music is quite clearly reflected in the data released by
Spotify, showcasing the surge in his listenership growing by over 440,000% in
streams since its first playlist appearance on February 17 on “Fresh Finds
Pakistan.”
Since April 2025, Afusic
has witnessed an audience growth of more than 1,200%, which showcases a growing
fan base that is not only appreciating but loving his genre of music. His music
has landed on nearly 270,000 playlists, reflecting a groundswell of listener
support that extends beyond borders. In the past 28 days alone, the demographic
breakdown of his global audience reveals a strong connection with younger
listeners, 60% male and 40% female, led by the 18–24 age group, followed
closely by 25–34-year-olds.
Expressing excitement on
his journey from a Fresh Finds artist to RADAR Pakistan, Afusic noted; “Being
selected as Spotify’s RADAR Pakistan artist is a huge moment for me. RADAR is
an incredible platform that shines a light on independent artists and helps us
reach new audiences, while also giving fans a chance to connect with who we are
beyond the music. I’m truly grateful for the support Spotify has shown
me—watching ‘Pal Pal’ grow from Fresh Finds to Hot Hits Pakistan shows just how
powerful this journey can be.”
As part of Spotify’s global
emerging artist program, RADAR aims to support rising talents by providing them
with strategic marketing, editorial placements, and fan-facing opportunities
designed to elevate their careers on and off the platform. With Afusic now
stepping into the RADAR spotlight, the stage is set for another dynamic chapter
in Pakistan’s thriving music landscape.
