Diljit Dosanjh at Wembley and Imran Khan's 'Bewafa' keep BBC Asian Network playing

No new uploads went up, and a cast from Netflix's 'Best of the Best' recalling the songs they performed for family as children sits between the two music moments.

Why this story? The channel's weekly summary: what went up this week, what is drawing views now, and where the channel stands among similar channels.

BBC Asian Network posted nothing new over the past seven days, and its back catalog carried on regardless. The channel ran well above its usual daily pace, gaining close to 400,000 views across the week.

The video drawing the most daily traffic is almost two months old: Imran Khan performing "Bewafa" at Myrchfest 2026. The Dutch-born singer's 2009 hit was one of the songs that carried Punjabi pop far beyond the UK and Europe, and a festival crowd hearing it live still seems to be something people seek out.

Closer behind than you might expect is a ten-day-old chat with the cast of Netflix's "Best of the Best," who joined Haroon to talk about the songs they used to perform for their families as kids. The tags hint at the answers, from "Bole Chudiyan" and "Dil To Pagal Hai" to "Muqabla" and "My Name Is Lakhan."

The biggest total of the three belongs to Haroon's celebration of Diljit Dosanjh at Wembley Stadium, which the description calls a historic night: the first South Asian man to sell out the venue. It is the one with the most views so far, though its daily pace has settled below the other two.

Among the music channels of a similar size, the loud weeks belong to VibesOnly and Rolling Stone, while Hollywood Records is running smaller. For a station built on bhangra, Bollywood and live sets, a week without uploads still had plenty playing.
