The catalogue
The catalogue’s biggest track, “Dafi Joon”, sits on 38.2M plays. The tracked catalogue runs deep: 66 Black Cats songs on FarsiChart, 213.1M plays between them. Against 191,236 monthly listeners, Spotify shows 61,422 followers. 16.2% of the catalogue's plays come from Spotify, the rest from RadioJavan.
