Total Songs Sung By Arijit Singh Better

There is no single official number. Estimates range from 800 to over 1,500 songs across 15+ years.
Why the range? Because “total songs” depends on what you count:

Yes, a duet. And yes, Arijit sang the male portions in a live fusion set with a classical twist. The original is festive, eerie, brilliant. But Arijit’s isolated male vocal (available on fan archives) brings a tragic weight to the “dholna” refrain. He sings it like a man summoning a ghost he knows won’t come. It’s not better in a technical sense—Shreya remains queen—but Arijit’s portion adds a layer of grief the original’s upbeat tempo hides. total songs sung by arijit singh better

Verdict: Not “better” but different—a parallel universe where the song is a funeral. There is no single official number

This is sacred ground. Sonu Nigam’s version is flawless—a crescendo of hope from despair. But Arijit sang it on MTV Unplugged (Season 3) and changed the conversation. Where Sonu’s version soars, Arijit’s sinks. He adds a quivering catch in the throat on “abhi mujh mein kahin” that sounds less like singing and more like confession. He slows the prelude, milks the silences, and turns a motivational ballad into a prayer whispered in an empty temple. This is sacred ground

Verdict: Arijit’s cover > Original. Not because Sonu lacked emotion, but because Arijit weaponized vulnerability.
