Awesome, awesome! Good to see Rahman with some the top musical talents in the world.. Akon's voice is absolutely fantastic and quite unique too - I would love to see what Rahman can do with that, especially knowing Rahman's penchant for new voices. Fingers crossed.
Also, like Rahman said today, this is new start for him, and I am so eagerly looking forward to his work on the international stage. Oky so some great news here, Slumdog's soundtrack is No. 2 on Billboard Soundtrack charts: http://www.billboard.com/bbcom/charts/chart_display.jsp? g=Albums&f=Top+Soundtracks And on the Billboard Top 200 Albums (this is the big one), it is on No. 22 (it jumped from No. 48 last week, which is quite a leap) http://www.billboard.com/bbcom/charts/chart_display.jsp? f=The+Billboard+200&pageNumber=Top+11-50&g=Albums And on Billboard Top Digital Albums it is on No. 3 (rising from No. 15 last week) http://www.billboard.com/bbcom/charts/chart_display.jsp? g=Albums&f=Top+Digital+Albums Lastly, on Billboard Top Internet Albums it is on No. 9 (jumping from No. 14) http://www.billboard.com/bbcom/charts/chart_display.jsp? g=Albums&f=Top+Internet+Albums And I suppose it will rise even further, as the Oscar effect is felt through over the coming weeks. So here is wishing Rahman for the number uno spot.
