Soon after the concert, Aujla’s official team Instagram page shared a teaser of his upcoming single “MF GHABRU,” slated for release on August 1.
While details about the tracklist and collaborators remain under wraps, P-Pop Culture is expected to build on the success of Aujla's previous projects Four Me and Making Memories, which topped charts and showcased his ability to bridge Punjabi music with global pop trends.
Aujla has become one of the most prominent Punjabi artists on the Billboard Canada charts, consistently breaking records for South Asian acts. His 2023 album Making Memories, a collaboration with Ikky, debuted at No. 5 on the Canadian Albums Chart, the highest debut for a Punjabi album in Canada.
The record spawned major hits like “Admirin’ You” and “Softly,” which not only topped streaming charts but also crossed over to mainstream Canadian audiences.
In 2024 and 2025, Aujla continued his streak with multiple singles landing on the Canadian Hot 100, including “Wavy” (peaked at No. 7) and “At Peace” (debuted at No. 8 in July 2025). His collaborations with international artists such as “Tell Me” with One Republic and Ikky further cemented his growing global presence.
