Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Naa
It has been four weeks since the film released but the music continues to
remain undefeated at the top. It would be interesting to see if it stays
consistent even as next fortnight sees the release of 'Singh Is Kinng' and
'Bachna Ae Haseeno' in quick succession.

Singh Is Kinng
Akshay, Anees and Vipul are just a few days away from hitting the top spot at
the music charts. Because soon 'Snoop Dogg' sung title song 'Singh Is Kinng'
will arrive and from there on it should be unstoppable for the album to reach
the top spot.
Snoop Dogg number has been kept hidden from the audience for quite some time
now. It is high time that it's unveiled!

Bachna Ae Haseeno
This one stays on to be consistent in Top-3. However, Vishal and Shekhar are
giving quite some competition to the albums at the top, especially with R.D.
Burman on their side. An excellent looking music video of the title song is out
and by the time film hits the screen, it should be a rage!
Due to disagreement between YRF and certain music channels, the songs aren't
finding an all around satellite publicity. It's a pity, especially for the
title song music video, which is quite an outing for the viewers!

Kismat Konnection
If not for 'Pappu' from JTYJN, 'Aai Pappi' would have been THE number to be
hitting the top spot at all discotheques and clubs! The number is an anthem in
itself and should be heard for many more weeks to come.
The film has seen a heavy drop in the days gone by and with impending releases
of other biggies, 'Kismat Konnection' doesn't quite stand a chance to break
into Top-3

Ugly Aur Pagli
In isolation, 'Talli' has turned out to be a huge hit. In fact Anu Malik
demonstrates with this song that when given a platform, he has in it to deliver
what current generation wants. Making a song in a mode similar to that of
Pritam, he gets Mika, Hard Kaur and his daughter Anmol to come up with a
chartbuster track!
The film has met with a lukewarm response at the box office which is bound to
adversely effect album sales as well

Rock On
Within a fortnight, Shankar Ehsaan Loy see yet another escalation for their
soundtrack that has jumped up by 2 spots yet again. Quite close to Top-5 now,
it seems quite probable that 'Rock On' would eventually end up doing reasonably
well for itself in urban centers (which is it's target audience)
The music sticks to the theme but in the process caters to very restricted
segment of audience.

Jannat
'Jannat' does quite good for itself for yet another week and the way most of
the recent musical releases have been quite lukewarm, it would well remain
enjoy the same success until bigger films start arriving in the month of
October.

Race
Just like 'Jannat', 'Race' too would benefit immensely from lack of any solid
competition for at least a month more to come.

Ada
One wonders what's still keeping this album in the charts. However, the fact is
that it is doing well in spite of absolutely nothing known about the film.
Anything more that the album succeeds from here is simply bonus for everyone
associated for it.
Publicity, publicity and some more publicity is required for this album. Period.

God Tussi Great Ho
Finally 'God Tussi Great Ho' arrives in the charts. The USP of the film is
coming together of Sajid-Wajid and Salman Khan once again after 'Partner'.
'Tujhe Aksa Beach Ghuma Doon' is the biggest success of the album so far.
A number like 'Let's Party' is hardly better than 'It's The Time To Disco'.
Also, there has hardly been much time between the album and the film release.
Unlimited freedom, unlimited storage. Get it now, on
