Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Naa
For second straight week in succession, it's the magic of 'Jaane Tu Ya Jaane
Naa' that continues to hold fort. The title song has finally come on air and
yet again the combination of music and visuals is doing the trick! Newcomer
Imraan Khan would indeed be on cloud nine to have got such a great kick start
to his career. Now it's time for his act to talk for itself once the film
releases on 4th July.

Jannat
JTYJN may have overtaken it but 'Jannat' still continues to give tough
competition at the top. Each and every song in the film has worked and 'Jannat'
has turned into one of the biggest musical successes for Bhatts after 'Murder'.
Wish Kamran Ahmed's version of 'Lambi Judai' was a part of the film as well!

Race
There are no changes in the Top-3 of the charts as Pritam has his 'Race'
following 'Jannat' close behind. Even though the film has more or less ended
it's theatrical run while the DVD sales have been steady, the music hasn't lost
it's charm till date! Looks like 'Race' would rule longer than even it's makers
would have expected.

Khuda Kay Liye
'Khuda Kay Liye' deserves to break into Top-3! The music as well as the film's
popularity has only been showing a continuous escalation week after week. The
music video of 'Bandya' has finally arrived on the music channels and that
should further add on to the album's popularity!

Love Story 2050
The only album in the charts to have shown a really good jump, 'Love Story
2050' finds itself in Top-5 within a fortnight of it's release. Anu Malik gets
a successful album to his name after ages.
'Sach Kehna', the best dance number from the album, has been revealed a little
too early. It may have benefited 'Love Story 2050' if released around the time
of film's release.

Ada
It is Rahman's name which has resulted in 'Ada' to have done so well in spite
of neither the music company nor the makers making any efforts whatsoever to
promote the album.
One wonders for how long the album would be able to sustain without any
promotion. Once hardcore Rahman fans have given it a listen, how would the
album reach out to rest of the music lovers?

Haal E Dil
Staying on at the same position where it was in the week gone by, 'Haal E Dil'
doesn't budge from it's #7 spot. Though there isn't much escalation expected
this week as well, one looks forward to how the album progresses once the film
hits the screen this Friday. After all it is still doing the best business when
compared to other movies which are releasing on the same day i.e. 'De Taali'
and 'Khushboo'.
The film primarily stars newcomers which would mean that the music of 'Haal E
Dil' would take time to make it's presence felt in a big way

Tashan
The way 'Tashan' is going downward and 'De Taali' isn't making much progress,
it appears that Vishal-Shekhar would have to live with a zero presence in the
charts for a little while. There is good hope though from the soundtrack of
'Bachna Ae Haseenon' which is expected to arrive in a month from now!
YRF would have to re-look at their 'minimal promotion' of music strategy,
especially after the reception to music of 'Tashan'

Thoda Pyaar Thoda Magic
YRF now has two of it's albums at the bottom of the charts. 'Lazy Lamhe' was
expected to do the trick but that too has merely helped the album to move up by
a solitary spot!
'Thoda Pyaar Thoda Magic' has just been a 'thoda sa' success. Period. One waits
to see if the film's release turns it's fortunes by any means.

Jodhaa Akbar
It is going to be farewell time for 'Jodhaa Akbar any moment. It has been a
good 5 month journey for this Rahman score and it would be interesting to see
if 'Jodhaa Akbar' manages to complete silver jubilee in the charts.
