Arijit already had a longer phase at the top, didn't he? And it is still going and feels like only the beginning. I mean he hasn't even completed a full decade yet and he is pretty much the undisputed #1 of this generation. His competitions don't even touch him whereas Sonu had competitors like KK, Shaan, Udit, and also Kumar Sanu for awhile. I don't remember going through 90s (when Sonu wasn't as big) or 2000s ever hearing Sonu is the king of music. Heck I think Udit was seen more of a #1 in 2000s. I was a huge Sonu fan then and not really a Udit fan so I would've remembered if the consensus was Sonu was #1.
Arijit on the other hand has a record breaking number of awards. The best part is we know none of it is bought or given due to his stellar personality because this man doesn't socialize with anyone, keeps to himself and his personality is boring.
Udit had lesser number of songs in 2000 compare to Sonu ,,, ....Udit domanted 1995 to 99 ....Sonu already took over from kumar sanu in late 90's .....and kumar sanu was no where around in 2000 had sung mostly in low budget films for nadeem shravan then ....Sonu was consistent till 2009....every govinda shahid kapoor shahrukh amir salman hhritk akshey hits had sonu to it ....Udit sang till 2004 here and there and faded out .....Arijit in his peak dont have much songs like Sonu had in 2000 ..Sonu used to sing 4-5 songs in an album ....and neither arijit had much variety like sonu had in his peak days ...
Let me put in this was 1990-1995 Kumar sanu had dominance.....1995-1999 Udit and Abhijeet took over from kumar sanu ....Sonu was shining out then and in 2000 he became the most popular voice singer even his solo albums were as big as his film songs which was not the case with UDIT album JAANAM which got released and no one talked about it .....and to now Sonu Nigam's Dewana is the most iconic independent music album of Indipop ......and Sonu had dominance till 2009...but was also present till 2012 singing for big actors in big films ...longest of udit naraynas who faded out in 2004 and kumar sanu who had much lessor number of songs in 2000 and that of nadeem shravans only with low budget films
having said this Combining Udit kumar arijit in one frame still they cant sing like this
