1. Barsaat – Banjaare & Roni
Release: 2026 single
Listening mood: Haryanvi heartbreak
Barsaat leads our September selection because it pairs a current chart presence with a newly released visual story. Banjaare, the brother duo Sumit and Anuj, return to the emotional territory that made Bairan connect with listeners. The September music video follows the woman’s perspective after a relationship falls apart, giving the song another way to reach its audience.
For anyone building a playlist around love, separation and rainy-day listening, start here. Watch the newer video below for its narrative treatment, then continue to Bairan to explore the duo’s related musical world.
2. Radhimaa – Sai Abhyankkar
Release: August 2026 single
Listening mood: Tamil indie pop
Radhimaa is one of the freshest additions to this month’s selection. Sai Abhyankkar composed and sang the track, with lyrics by Vivek and a music video featuring Bhagyashri Borse. Billboard India reported 31 million video views on September 9, giving this late-August release a clear reason to appear in a September listening guide.
Its appeal lies in the contrast between heartbreak and an upbeat setting. If your playlist needs something emotional that still moves, this is a strong place to start. The video adds a performance-led dimension to the song.
3. Bairan – Banjaare
Release: 2026 single
Listening mood: Haryanvi romantic pop
Bairan is a useful reminder that an Indian music hit does not have to begin with a film soundtrack. Apple Music’s artist profile identifies it as Banjaare’s early-2026 breakthrough and notes that it reached the top of the platform’s all-genre India chart. It remains present in the September streaming selection consulted for this update.
Choose this one when you want to explore contemporary Haryanvi music through a song centred on separation. The embedded official audio keeps the focus on the track itself, making it easy to compare with Barsaat.
4. KALYANI (Remix) – ARJN, KDS, FIFTY4 & Shreya Ghoshal
Release: July 2026 remix
Listening mood: Malayalam crossover remix
This entry is specifically the 2026 remix of Kalyani. The official release credits ARJN, KDS, FIFTY4 and Shreya Ghoshal, with production by RONN. It offers a newer version for listeners who already know the original and appears prominently in the September streaming overview used for this article.
Be sure to save the remix if that is the version you enjoy: the original and remix are separate recordings. We have embedded the official remix audio so you can hear the credited collaboration without landing on an unrelated fan edit.
5. Pavazha Malli – Sai Abhyankkar & Shruti Haasan
Release: March 2026 single
Listening mood: Tamil pop and celebration
Pavazha Malli brings another major 2026 release into the mix. Sai Abhyankkar and Shruti Haasan share the vocal credits, while Vivek supplies the lyrics. The official video features Kayadu Lohar. Billboard India’s September 9 feature put its YouTube audience at 313 million views, making it a substantial viewing hit from this year.
Give this a place in a playlist that moves from romantic songs toward more celebratory music. Watching it beside Radhimaa also offers an introduction to two of Sai Abhyankkar’s independent releases from the same year.

6. Tera Mera Rishta – New Version – Mithoon and collaborators · Awarapan 2
Release: August 2026 recreation
Listening mood: Hindi film music
For Bollywood listeners, the new Awarapan 2 recording brings a familiar title back into a 2026 release cycle. Apple Music lists the New Version single on August 6, with credits including Mithoon, Subodhh Sharma, Saaj Bhatt, Pritam, Sayeed Quadri and Mustafa Zahid. This is a recreation, so its freshness comes from the new recording rather than a completely new song.
The linked Sony Music upload is now titled Tera Mera Rishta Continues (Film Ballad). It is presented with that title beneath the player to distinguish it from the 2007 recording and the other versions available online.

7. Udi Udi – Aneesh, Sarkar & Hruday
Release: February 2026 single
Listening mood: Folk-inspired contemporary pop
Udi Udi adds a different flavour to a list otherwise rich in romantic indie songs. The official release credits Aneesh, Sarkar and Hruday, and the New Bombay Collective video presents the collaboration in its own visual setting. The February 2026 single also appears in the September streaming overview.
Try it when you want a change of pace between ballads. For a short listening session, pair Udi Udi with Kalyani (Remix), then move into Pavazha Malli. That sequence gives you three different approaches to contemporary Indian pop.
8. Aarzu – Noor, Khan & Madhurxo
Release: 2026 official video; earlier audio listings also exist
Listening mood: Independent romantic music
Aarzu earns a discovery spot through its appearance in the September trend overview and its March 2026 official video. The video credits Khan as writer and performer, Noor as producer, and Madhura on female vocals. Some audio listings predate 2026, so this entry should not be read as a claim that the song first appeared this year.
For this list, we use the Noor, Khan and Madhurxo video rather than the separate version featuring Asim Azhar. Check the artist line when adding it to your playlist, especially if you discovered only a short excerpt online.

9. Arz Kiya Hai – Anuv Jain × Lost Stories · Coke Studio Bharat
Release: 2025 release still trending
Listening mood: Hindi indie romance
Arz Kiya Hai is one of two clearly labelled 2025 carryovers in this selection. Anuv Jain’s Coke Studio Bharat collaboration with Lost Stories remains high in the September streaming overview. Its continued presence makes it relevant to a “songs trending now” guide, even though it is not a new 2026 release.
Keep this in the quieter part of your listening queue. The official Coke Studio video is included below, making it easy to move from discovering the title to hearing the complete performance.
10. Khat – Navjot Ahuja
Release: December 2025 release still trending
Listening mood: Hindi singer-songwriter music
Khat closes the list as another recent carryover rather than a 2026 debut. Apple Music dates the single to December 3, 2025, and Navjot Ahuja’s official artist links point listeners to the recording. Its appearance in the September streaming overview supports keeping it in a current listening guide.
If you came here for romantic Hindi songs, play Khat after Arz Kiya Hai. Together, they provide a quieter finish after the regional pop, remixes and film music elsewhere in the list. The embedded upload is the official audio.
What Stands Out in This Month’s Indian Music Selection?
Independent and regional songs lead the discovery
This selection gives Haryanvi, Tamil and independent Hindi music room alongside Bollywood. Banjaare and Sai Abhyankkar each have two entries, while Udi Udi introduces another collaborative sound. For listeners who usually search only for new Bollywood songs, these tracks offer an easy route into a broader Indian music playlist.
A new version is not the same as a new song
Kalyani (Remix) and the Awarapan 2 recording show why version names matter. A song can gain a new audience through a remix, recreation or music video. We have labelled those releases so you can find the recording featured here, rather than accidentally saving a different version.
Recent favourites can outlast their release month
Arz Kiya Hai and Khat remain useful additions for people asking what to listen to now. Their inclusion does not make them 2026 releases. A current playlist can include older songs while still leaving most of its space for newer music.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which Indian songs should I listen to in September 2026?
Start with Barsaat, Radhimaa, Bairan, Kalyani (Remix) and Pavazha Malli. For Hindi listening, explore the Awarapan 2 recording, Arz Kiya Hai and Khat. The full list above includes official videos or audio uploads.
Are these the official ten most-streamed songs in India?
No. This is an editorial selection that balances current popularity with freshness. Platforms count listening and viewing differently, and their rankings change. It should not be presented as a single measured national chart.
Are all ten songs brand-new releases from 2026?
No. Seven entries are identified as 2026 singles or new versions. Aarzu has a 2026 official video but also earlier audio listings. Arz Kiya Hai and Khat are labelled 2025 carryovers. Pavazha Malli and Radhimaa are separate 2026 singles, each with its own entry.
Where can I watch or listen to these songs?
Use the embedded YouTube players or the direct links underneath. If an embedded player is unavailable in your region or browser, try opening the upload on YouTube. You can also search the exact artist and version in your music app.
Sources and Update Notes
Release and artist references appear beneath each song. The selection also consulted 12NOTEZ’s September India streaming overview. Its chart positions are not reproduced as a combined national ranking. Video popularity context for Radhimaa and Pavazha Malli comes from Billboard India’s September 9 report. Reported view counts refer to that publication date and will change.
