By Joginder Tuteja, June 9, 2008 - 15:48 IST Rank Last week Film Plusses Minuses 1 2 Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Naa Rahman proudly sits at the top of the charts this week! Even though the film is still around a month away, the music of JTYJN has peaked and should now sustain at the top of the charts for next few weeks at least. 'Pappu' has done the trick though there are still quite a few aces up the sleeves for Rahman and company in the film's soundtrack. None 2 1 Jannat After reigning at the top for weeks, 'Jannat' finally makes way for another album to take over the throne. However, it is still giving quite some competition to JTYJN and one can expect Pritam to continue having his place in the sun till the arrival of 'Kismat Konection', the music of which is carrying good reports. Wish Kamran Ahmed's version of 'Lambi Judai' was a part of the film as well 3 3 Race Unshakable at the position that 'Race' is continuing to hold, it is befitting the status of the highest selling album of the year so far. Pritam's own 'Jannat' may catch up with the numbers though in next few months. None 4 4 Khuda Kay Liye 'Bandya' and 'Allah' are classics and they have been the reasons for the album's bumper success as well. However, the title song is a gem as well and deserves to find a better reach through extensive word of mouth. None 5 5 Ada Staying on in Top-5 in spite of near to negligible promotion, 'Ada' is spinning some good magic for the lovers of Rahman. While 'Hawa Sun Hawa' is the track for which promotion is currently on, the ones to look forward to are 'Gum Sum', 'Gulfisha' and 'Meherbaan'. 'Ada' is a mixed bag with half the songs being quite good while the remaining half being average. Nothing is below the mark though. 6 6 Tashan 'Tashan' is hanging on but just about. A week more and it may fear an exit from the charts, since quite a few newer albums are trying to make their presence felt. Considering the poor fate of the film, it is quite a feat that the music has been able to achieve by staying on for so long. YRF would have to re-look at their 'minimal promotion' of music strategy, especially after the reception to music of 'Tashan' 7 10 Haal E Dil Highest gainer of the week gone by, 'Haal E Dil' has jumped by 3 spots and in the process has made short the competition from the likes of 'Thoda Pyaar Thoda Magic' and new release 'Love Story 2050'. In addition to all the composers who have done a fantastic job in the album, Pritam's 'Fashion' has done the trick and become instant chartbuster. 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 8 New Love Story 2050 Harman Baweja can start smiling even more. Within a week of the release of the music of his debut film, the music has debuted in the charts. It may not be classified as a smash hit debut in the charts per se but is still decent enough to grow en route to the film's 4th July release. At the moment, the name Anu Malik doesn't carry enough weight to enable an album take an earth shattering opening at the stands. 'Love Story 2050' would have to wait a little before the music picks up in a big way. 9 7 Jodhaa Akbar Dropping by a couple of spots, 'Jodhaa Akbar' is now showing signs of retiring from the charts. Enjoying a superb journey over the months gone by, the music has won over all odds and a similar response is now expected from the DVDs of the film which are expected to be out soon. None 10 9 Thoda Pyaar Thoda Magic Oops, there isn't much that seems to be happening for this Shankar Ehsaan Loy soundtrack. After making a modest entry in the charts in the week gone by, 'Thoda Pyaar Thoda Magic' hasn't shown much improvement and has barely survived. It is good though that the album's best song, 'Pyaar Ke Liye Kabhi Socha Hai Kya' has finally been unveiled on the music channels. Is it the 'Tashan' effect which is keeping audience away from the music of this Yash Raj film?
