Top Tamil Composers on Spotify!

(All data taken from Spotify as of 28.07.2025)

Spotify’s monthly listener data paints a compelling picture of Tamil film music's most-streamed composers — and the stories behind their numbers are just as interesting.

Leading the pack is the legendary A.R. Rahman with a phenomenal 42.1 million monthly listeners. No matter how many new names rise in the industry, Rahman's global appeal, timeless catalog, and consistent quality keep him firmly at the top.

Next is Anirudh Ravichander with 20.7 million listeners, the current sensation and the go-to composer for big-ticket films. Whether it’s massy hooks or genre-defining scores, he’s proving time and again why he’s the most sought-after talent in the industry today.

Holding the third spot is Harris Jayaraj with 13.1 million listeners — a truly impressive feat considering he hasn’t released a major film album in nearly a year. His presence on this list speaks volumes about the quality, emotional depth, and repeat value of his music that continues to resonate across generations.

G.V. Prakash (12.6M) and Yuvan Shankar Raja (12.5M) follow closely, cementing their place with consistent hits and a loyal fanbase.

Veteran Ilaiyaraaja’s 9.8 million listeners highlight the eternal charm of his classics, while modern trendsetters like Santhosh Narayanan (9.4M) and Sam CS (6M) continue to rise with their unique soundscapes.

A surprise breakout is Sai Abhyankar with 5.1 million listeners. Despite his first film album yet to release, his indie music's reach has made a strong mark, leading producers to sign him up for back-to-back projects — a promising sign of what’s to come.
