That's how the "system" works, with the singers getting most of the credit.. The composer and lyricist takes the back seat - which why you see most albums are done by a lone singer or a group, with some collaborations / feats by other artists. And for Rahman, to get popular, especially in the pop scene, he will need to compose as well as sing his own songs, mostly without collaborations.. this is perhaps a bit of shame, as it would cut down the range of songs he can do on his own, as compared to what he has done in "bollywood".. Obviously this is not a hard and fast rule, but how many composers for let's say Madonna do you know off? All this warrants another question does Rahman want to conquer the billboard charts or is he happy doing movies scores?
