He is the only Indian artist to feature on the list.

Bloomberg released the rankings on Thursday, which included the names of the most influential pop stars in the world right now.

Himesh’s inclusion in the list is proof of his lasting popularity and ability to stay relevant across generations.

Bloomberg’s report highlighted, “Approximately 120,000 people applied to participate in the resulting, globe-spanning experiment.” “Throughout the process, fans joined in. Using Hybe’s audience app Weverse, they cast votes on who should survive the fierce elimination process,” it noted.
