Our coverage focuses particularly on Indian music while also documenting significant international releases and global digital milestones.
Founder & Editorial Leadership
Praveen – Founder & Lead Editor
Praveen founded SONGRAY with the goal of making digital music performance information accessible, organized, and easy to navigate for music listeners, researchers, creators, and anyone interested in music trends.
Based in India, Praveen oversees the site’s music coverage, chart compilation, data-checking process, tracking guidelines, and editorial updates across multiple regional music industries, including Tamil, Telugu, Hindi, and Punjabi music.

Data Tracking & Inclusion Guidelines
Music statistics can change continuously as platforms update their public counters and reporting systems. To maintain consistency, SONGRAY follows a set of editorial guidelines when compiling rankings and milestone articles.
- Official and Primary Sources: We prioritize publicly available information from official YouTube channels, verified artist profiles, official record labels, streaming platforms, and other primary sources whenever available.
- Cross-Checking: When appropriate, publicly available third-party music databases, chart services, and reputable publications may be used to cross-check information or provide historical context.
- Excluding Unofficial Uploads: Where a ranking is intended to represent an official release, unofficial fan uploads, unauthorized re-uploads, reaction videos, edits, and unrelated third-party content are excluded where identifiable.
- Periodic Updates: Rankings and statistics may be reviewed and updated because digital counters and streaming figures can change over time.
- Historical Accuracy: Historical rankings may reflect the information and publicly available figures recorded at the time of research. Earlier figures can change as platforms revise or update their data.
Understanding Our Rankings
SONGRAY rankings are created according to the methodology described in each individual article. Different rankings may use different criteria, such as total views, total streams, first-24-hour performance, likes, release date, or another clearly stated measurement.
Unless an article specifically states otherwise, rankings should not be interpreted as an official chart issued by YouTube, Spotify, a record label, an artist, or another music platform.
Editorial Independence & Integrity
SONGRAY is an independent publication. Our editorial rankings and statistical coverage are not intended to be altered in exchange for promotional consideration.
Our objective is to present music statistics and digital milestones as accurately and transparently as reasonably possible based on publicly available information.
Artist names, song titles, record-label names, trademarks, logos, photographs, video thumbnails, and other third-party materials referenced on SONGRAY remain the property of their respective owners. Their appearance on this website does not imply ownership or endorsement by SONGRAY unless explicitly stated.
