Big moment for Indian regional music and Tamil music in particular as @anirudhofficial’s music got #Jailer hits #1 on Spotify weekly charts, a first for the language. @thegroovebox and I get into the details of how and why it was imminent:

Fellow Indian '80s kids, why is it that I can't believe it's only 30 years since the release of #Khalnayak (1993) but feel it has to be at least 40 years since the release of #KhoonBhariMaang (1988)?

India is Spotify's eighth biggest market for hip-hop globally. (Context: India is among Spotify's top five biggest markets in terms of users.) The No.1 song on the platform in India right now is "Cheques" by Punjabi rapper-singer #Shubh. #50yearsofhiphop

Add #jcole to the list of acts rumoured to be touring India this festival season. https://t.co/YZbAzFUkOq

@chuck_gopal @nytimes Thanks! Might have to do that as a last resort. How much more expensive is it? I've got a Rs600/year offer!

[Amit Gurbaxani @thegroovebox]

People of the Twitter...eh X-verse, is anybody facing a problem renewing their @nytimes subscription? Tried credit and debit card but it just doesn't go through. The bank says it could be on the list of barred subscription sites.

@basrur @ApplePodcasts @Humphrey_Bogart Thanks so much, Vijay!

[Amit Gurbaxani @thegroovebox]

😲'The Indian Music Charts Podcast' is among the top five most listened to shows in India this week on @ApplePodcasts. @Humphrey_Bogart and I never imagined our show sitting aside the most popular series in the country. Thank you for listening! https://t.co/VT6HVoUtvY

[Amit Gurbaxani @thegroovebox]

@soundbuzzer Thanks so much, Mandar!

[Amit Gurbaxani @thegroovebox]

On this week's episode of The Indian Music Charts Podcast, @Humphrey_Bogart and I discuss something I've written about several times before: why India's music industry urgently needs to come up with a better term than "non-film music". https://t.co/VT6HVoUtvY

An update to the entire LG-fridge fiasco. https://t.co/VUDHrfhsYe

[Amit Gurbaxani @thegroovebox]

Trying my best to keep this sheet as updated as possible. Decided to repost after it reached over 100 releases. As always, if you know of something that's not on here - albums (seven tracks or more) and EPs (three to six tracks) only, please - let me know. https://t.co/8WvcMlylnf

[Amit Gurbaxani @thegroovebox]

Hey @LGIndia, life is definitely not good with the customer service you provide. My six-month-old fridge hasn't been working for three weeks. After the engineer could not fix it, every single day I've followed up, I am given the same one-word response, if I get a response at all.

[Amit Gurbaxani @thegroovebox]

This week, @Humphrey_Bogart and I discuss a controversial topic about which, as always, we pull no punches. We talk about how this is a "play safe" crisis rather than a "creative" crisis but it's clear Hindi film music has been in a near-decade-long slump. https://t.co/h0xaPtSYmg
