Aujla made chart history earlier this week with his new album "P-Pop Culture," which made a record-breaking debut. It earned 12.4 million streams and debuted at No. 3 on the Billboard Canadian Albums chart, the highest debut for any Punjabi-language album in Canadian history.
The historical feat comes just over a month after the album was first announced at Aujla's Montreal concert, and then released a few weeks later on Aug. 22.
"P-Pop Culture" continues to propel Aujla and Punjabi music to new heights across the globe thanks to its noteworthy success, which now extends to a broadcasted American talk show performance.
The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon airs on weeknights at 11:35 PM EST.
