Diljit Dosanjh has charted history. The Punjabi pop sensation achieved a significant milestone, becoming the first Indian artist to grace the cover of Billboard Canada's magazine. This marks an epochal moment, as the debut print edition of the publication will prominently feature exclusive images of the Punjabi icon, along with never-before-seen content and behind-the-scenes stories from his revolutionary Dil-Luminati tour.
Billboard Canada shared the exciting news on its official Instagram account, along with the caption, «Diljit Dosanjh will make global history as the first Indian artist to be featured cover-to-cover in a special edition of Billboard (@billboardca). It marks a monumental moment for the iconic publication. Pre-order link in bio (sic).» The edition will be available both as a standalone issue or as part of a box set featuring four unique covers, one of which remains a mystery as it will be revealed later in December, part of a global Billboard initiative.
The post went viral on the image and video sharing website, gathering more than 208K likes. Fans and well-wishers of the singing icon went wild in the comment section. Punjabi fans in particular were ecstatic. «Diljit giving us the representation we deserve!!» gushed one fan. «Making global history—showing everyone how Punjabis do it!» wrote another.
