Singh Is Kinng
Now that's what you call as really 'point in time' entry! In the week when
'Singh Is Kinng' is creating havoc at the box office, the music finally sees
itself at the #1 spot. Now it would be really difficult for this Pritam
soundtrack to be displaced from the top spot, until and unless 'Bachna Ae
Haseeno' too repeats a similar feat at the theaters on it's release this
weekend.
'Talli Hui' appears to be forced into the narrative

Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Naa
After a golden run at the music stands, Rahman finally makes way for the
'King'. Meanwhile the music video of 'Jaane Tu Mera Kya Hai' has seen a good
response coming it's way as well, hence ensuring that every track from the film
has turned out to be popular.

Bachna Ae Haseeno
Rock solid in Top-3 of the charts, 'Bachna Ae Haseeno' is continuing to keep
the steam on. It should be giving some solid competition to 'Singh Is Kinng'
for the top spot in the fortnight to come.
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
TIPS is not allowing the album to die down even as the film has been on a
rather quick way out after making most of the money in it's first week. Each of
the songs from the album continues to be promoted on the music channels, hence
ensuring that Pritam celebrates yet another good hit soundtrack to his name
this year.
With 'Singh Is Kinng' and 'Bachna Ae Haseeno' doing extremely well and 'Rock
On' proving to be good competition as well, 'Kismat Konnection' is all set for
a descend in fortnight to come

Rock On
Surprise of the season! 'Rock On', which didn't quite seem promising to begin
with, has improved it's standing in the charts week after week and now finds
itself in Top-5. What a conventional score of 'Thoda Pyaar Thoda Magic'
couldn't do for Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy, 'Rock On' has done it for them.
The music sticks to the theme but in the process caters to very restricted
segment of audience.

Ugly Aur Pagli
Anu Malik has played his part well and come up with a musical score which has
done well to keep the film in news. Though 'Talli' has indeed being the biggest
hit of the album, there are other numbers in the soundtrack as well, which
though good, have been unfortunately sidelined by the audience. Makers and the
music company are doing well though to keep the momentum on for the music
promotion!
The film has met with a lukewarm response at the box office which is bound to
adversely effect album sales as well

Jannat
It should be silver jubilee time for 'Jannat' soon, what with the music being
available on the stands for 5 months now and doing consistently well ever since
then. All eyes are now set on the next project 'Raaz - The Mystery Continues'
coming from Bhatts-Pritam-Hashmi.

Race
Pritam has a knack for superhit music resulting in super-hit movies. 'Race',
'Jannat' and now 'Singh Is Kinng' - need we say more!
None

God Tussi Great Ho
While the music of 'Bachna Ae Haseeno' is doing superb on the stands, 'God
Tussi Great Ho', the film which releases on the same day, is struggling on the
charts. Moving up marginally by one spot, the album may show some escalation if
the film succeeds at the box office, hence following the trend of 'Partner'.
The songs haven’t got a good enough chance to grow with the audience

Ada
Now this one may just about manage to hang on until and unless the likes of 'C
Kkompany' and 'Maan Gaye Muhall-E-Azam' throw some surprise.
Publicity, publicity and some more publicity is required for this album. Period.
