Jaane Tu Ya Jaane
Naa
There is no
stopping 'Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Naa' as it continues to reign from the top. An
Aamir
Khan production has done it again after 'Taare Zameen Par' which saw it's music
making quite an impression in the charts for months in succession.

Jannat
The film may be
showing signs of exit from theatres after a super successful run but the music
is still dominating in a big way. It would require a heavy weight album to move
'Jannat' from the height it is currently at.

Race
The film was
superhit. The DVDs are dominating the charts as well. Meanwhile the music
continues to be the best seller of the year. Clearly TIPS, UTV and Pritam
couldn't have asked for more and now their eyes are set on their next
collaboration 'Kismat Konnection'.

Love Story
2050
Inching up in the
charts with ever passing week, 'Love Story 2050' is at it's highest position
ever since it arrived on the stands. Now one waits to see if the album
eventually manages to break into Top-3 (which looks quite possible).
'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
Breaking into
Top-5, 'Ada' becomes Rahman's second album in the recent times (after 'Jaane Tu
Ya Jaane Naa') to make a very good impression amongst the listeners. This is
also Rahman's third straight successful album with 'Jodhaa Akbar' doing well in
the early part of the year.
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
Showing slight
improvement over last week, 'Haal E Dil' moves up a spot. 'Oye Hoye' which has
been picturised on Ajay-Kajol has also been revealed and now all the cards from
the album are out in open.
The film has
failed to make an impression and since it seems destined to go down, it is
bound
to adversely affect this good soundtrack as well.

Khuda Kay
Liye
Just when it had
seemed that 'Khuda Kay Liye' would be a strong contender to break into Top-3,
it
shows a heavy fall and is now at #7. One hopes that it stays on at the lower
end
of the charts at least for a few more weeks to come since it deserves a better
market for itself.

Thoda Pyaar Thoda
Magic
Hardly making a
move up in spite of Amisha's sizzle-n-bare act, 'Thoda Pyaar Thoda Magic' has
now joined the league of 'Laaga Chunari Mein Daag' and 'Aaja Nachle' that
didn't
make any impression in the charts.
Until and unless a
miracle happens and the film turns out to be a superhit, the music doesn't seem
to be creating a market for itself in next few weeks

New
De
Taali
Finally this
Vishal-Shekhar music manages to make an entry into the charts. While 'Tashan'
sees it's way out this week, 'De Taali' compensates it's exit for
Vishal-Shekhar. The title song and 'Maari Teetri' are hits and that should help
the album gain further visibility.
The album has
arrived in the charts quite belatedly and since the film by itself isn't
extraordinary, there are doubts about sustainability of 'De Taali' in the
charts.

New
Ugly Aur
Pagli
A week after it's
release, 'Ugly Aur Pahli' makes an instant impression in the charts. Seems Anu
Malik is seriously making inroads into them music scene again with 'Ugly Aur
Pagli' being his second album in the charts after 'Love Story 2050'.
A few listeners
may scoff at the idea that 'Uglu Aur Pagli' carries a standard club-sound album
that may not necessarily enjoy a long shelf life
