Ayed Alqarni

Ayed Yousef Alqarni (Arabic: عايض يوسف القرني; born 11 May 1996), known mononymously as Ayed (Arabic: عايض), is a Saudi singer. Ayed achieved his first top-five entry on the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry's The Official MENA Chart with "Tjyny," from his second studio album Kl ālkhṭā (2022). In October 2023, "Kārah nafsī" achieved Ayed's best Middle Eastern chart position (#2), as well as his first number one in Saudi Arabia. His "Rdy" (2023) debuted directly at the top of the Middle Eastern and Saudi charts. "Ahlan wsʻdan" (2023) and "ʻĀlam al-ʻushshāq" (2024), duets with Humood AlKhudher and Khalid Muthafar, also replicated the success of their previous songs, finishing at the top of the Saudi charts. Ayed then released his summer hit Lmāḥ (2024), which topped the Official MENA Chart and the national chart; it maintained the top spot on both charts for at least three consecutive months. He was nominated for three awards at the Billboard Arabia Music Awards, and at the ceremony, he took home the award for Best Khaliji Song with Lmāḥ. Ayed's third album of new material, entitled Āyiḍ 2025, was released in April 2025. Four of the album's seven tracks appeared in the national top ten simultaneously. 2016 – Ḍāʻat ayyāmī (with Jassem Mohammed) 2021 – Yā Muḥammad (with Nayef Al-Nayef) 2023 – Ahlan wsʻdan (with Humood AlKhudher) 2024 – ʻĀlam al-ʻushshāq (with Khalid Muthafar)
