‘Long Distance Love’ by Coke Studio Bangla tops Spotify India chart

In a groundbreaking moment for Bangladeshi music, "Long Distance Love" from Coke Studio Bangla has taken the No. 1 spot on Spotify's Top Viral Songs India chart — holding its position for the second consecutive week.

The track, performed by Ankan Kumar and Afrin (produced by Shuvendu Das Shuvo), has become the first Bangladeshi song to dominate Spotify's India rankings for two straight weeks, marking a milestone for cross-border South Asian music.

Released as part of Coke Studio Bangla Season 3, "Long Distance Love" has resonated deeply with audiences for its melody, cinematic visuals, and emotionally charged portrayal of separation. 

Industry observers say the success reflects a growing appetite among Indian listeners for Bangla-language music and the power of digital platforms to bridge borders. 

Coke Studio Bangla has steadily gained regional popularity since its 2022 launch, blending traditional Bangladeshi instruments with contemporary production. "Long Distance Love" now cements its place as one of the most influential projects in South Asian music streaming histor
