Welcome back to “Trending In”, our series of articles that introduces you to the local Believe artists who are storming the music charts in their countries.
Today, we’re taking a look at Indonesia, a country home to a wide variety of musical genres and where pop music reigns supreme. It’s no surprise, then, that the five songs and artists featured in our selection are pop singers and musicians. And we don’t mean to boast, but several of these artists work with our local imprint, KithLabo, so seeing their talent take off makes us very proud.
As we firmly think it’s always best to have a local perspective, we usually bring a local Believer to give you some insider knowledge.Not this time, though, we have not one, but five members of Believe Indonesia ready to share their expertise on the featured songs.
IDGITAF – Sedia Aku Sebelum Hujan
Since its release last October, “Sedia Aku Sebelum Hujan” has been an overwhelming success, trusting the top charts for weeks. Idgitaf’s powerful pop ballad was also the 1st official single announcing her 2nd album.
Released mid-May, Berusaha di Bawah Hujan reached #9 position on the Spotify Global Debut Album chart within just 4 days, a crowning achievement for the young artist.
As Fauzan Romadhon, Senior Digital Marketing Manager at Believe Indonesia, points it “landing the album on Spotify’s Top Global Debut chart, fueling the song to #1 position on Spotify in Indonesia and placing Idgitaf as Indonesia’s #2 artist on the streaming platform set a major milestone”. With the album’s promotional campaign in full swing, there’s no doubt that Idgitaf is poised to break new records in the coming weeks.
Sal Priadi – Ada titik-titik di ujung doa
Surprisingly, Sal Priadi‘s biggest hit in 2026 is from his 2024 album MARKERS AND SUCH PENS FLASHDISKS. But as Dianita Persia, Senior Marketing & Project Manager, reminds us “the song is a great proof how strategic visual storytelling can revive a back catalog track into a cultural moment”.
In March 2026, Sal Priadi took his song (which hadn’t been released as a single back then) and turned it into a super-engaging and touching short film that was incredibly well received. “Fueled by fan-driven content and creator amplification,the song spent 6 consecutive days at #1 on YouTube Trending and stayed 16 straight days at #1 on Spotify Daily Charts” adds Dianita. And it goes on! The 1st week of June 2026, the song was still ranking 5 in the official Indonesian music charts.
Hindia – Everything u are
If there’s one thing you should know about Baskara Putra, aka Hindia, it’s that he is undoubtedly one of the most acclaimed Indonesian artists of recent years. So when he released his 3rd project Doves,25’ on Black Canvas as a surprise “it sparked immediate buzz and enthusiasm among fans” recalls Firdaus Ginting, Senior Marketing & Project Manager.
Among all the gems on the album, “Everything u are” was THAT song. An instant pop-rock classic capturing an era. And Believe Indonesia’s team was there to build on this momentum.
“We used our Believe Smart Discovery technology to optimize streaming performance, helping Hindia’s song reach 96.8 million streams in 13 months and become his top song on Spotify” , says Firdaus. A year after, Everything u are has about 400 millions streams on Spotify alone.
.Feast – Nina
Speaking of Hindia, he’s not only a solo artist but also the frontman of .Feast, an alternative rock band that has built up a cult following thanks to its innovative sound and incisive social commentary.
“.Feast consistently delivers a variety of long-form content alongside their official music videos, transforming a viral moment into a sustainable YouTube community” points out Rico Trisma Burhan, Senior Video & Audience Development Manager, adding that “this approach delivers outstanding results, including a 1662% increase in views, and placements on both the Indonesian and Global YouTube Trending charts”
It’s true! In addition to the official music video for “Nina”—their most popular song, which now has 15 million views—the band has released three live versions, a fan-made music video, and a lyric video that has reached an impressive 132 million views!
Nuca – Masa Ini, Nanti, dan Masa Indah Lainnya
Nuca was already somewhat known to the general public thanks to his appearances on the show “Indonesian Idol”. But “Masa Ini, Nanti, dan Masa Indah Lainnya” might be his breakout solo song.
Taken from Nuca’s 2025 debut solo album EUNOIA, the sweet,emotional ballad “landed at #22 on Top Songs 50 Indonesia, #8 on YouTube Music Trending, and generated over 425K TikTok sound creation.” says Alexandra Rizky Eka Putri Cahyani, Digital Marketing Manager at Believe Indonesia. In fact, the single has been featured for several months on local Spotify playlists such as “Lagi Viral,” “Hot Hits Indonesia,” and “Hot Hits Malaysia”.
“Now that the song has charted, Nuca has reached a position where the public starts remembering him” adds Alexandra. The growing number of streams of his album bears this out.
