Pakistani pop music or Paki-pop refers to popular music forms in Pakistan. Pakistani pop is a mixture of traditional Pakistani classical music and western influences of jazz, rock and roll, hip-hop and disco sung in various languages of Pakistan, including Urdu language.

The popularity of music is based on the individual sales of a single, viewer ship of its music video or the singer’s album chart positions. Pakistani pop music is attributed to have given birth to the genre in the South Asian region withAhmed Rushdi’s song ‘Ko-Ko-Korina’ in 1966.

Veterans like Runa Laila started the pop industry in Pakistan while the fifteen-year old pop sensation Nazia with her brother Zohaib Hassan ushered the birth of pop music all over South Asia tailing on the success of her British endeavors. From Rushdi’s pop hits to songs sung by the Hassan siblings, to bands including Junoon, Vital Signs and Strings, the Pakistani pop industry has steadily spread throughout South Asia and today is the most popular genre in Pakistan and the neighboring South Asian countries.

A few years later came Alamgir. Like all people from his generation, Alamgir was raised listening to songs by bands like ABBA and Boney M. Alamgir brought a new form of music to Pakistan, one that blended the classical forms with a tint of modern Western music.

In 1980, Nazia Hassan, a fifteen-years old Pakistani girl Nazia along with her brother Zohaib Hassan produced successive hits. Their songs Disco Deewane and Tere Qadmon Ko became the rage all over Asia to the extent that their very first album was declared the best selling album of the time in Asia.
