Bachna Ae Haseeno
Last week it was 'Singh Is Kinng' which reached the #1 spot as the film hit the
screens. This week it is 'Bachna Ae Haseeno' which has found quite some
escalation for itself in the charts. Peaking at just the right time, this is
yet another musical success for Vishal-Shekhar this year after 'Tashan'.

Singh Is Kinng
Closely following 'Bachna Ae Haseeno' with not much difference, it is still in
the race to catch up further for the top spot. It would be an interesting
fortnight to see how the music performs, especially with the Snoop Dogg version
of the title song out now on the music channels.
'Talli Hui' appears to be forced into the narrative

Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Naa
In last fortnight, 'Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Naa' has been made to drop by a spot each
by 'Singh Is Kinng' and 'Bachna Ae Haseeno' respectively. Though the music is
expected to sell for many more months to come, it is also seeing some
competition from 'Rock On' which is seriously looking at making an entry into
the Top-3.

Rock On
Audience choice has been the final winner in case of 'Rock On'. A sound which
wasn't quite catchy to begin with has eventually found it's followers that has
resulted in 'Rock On' going further up. With a fortnight more to go for the
film's release, it should manage to find a Top-3 entry for itself.
The music sticks to the theme but in the process caters to niche audience

Kismat Konnection
Pritam's hit score for 'Kismat Konnection' ensured that everyone associated
with the film made money. This is the reason why if the film would be
remembered for anything after a year or so, it would be the songs more than
anything else.
Film is more or less out of theaters which means that 'Kismat Konnection' won't
turn out to be another 'Race', 'Jannat' or 'Singh Is Kinng' for Pritam

Ugly Aur Pagli
Staying on in the charts in spite of the film being out of theaters in a
fortnight's time, 'Ugly Aur Pagli' has managed to do quite good for itself.
However, with the film's promotion coming to a standstill and all eyes on
Mallika's upcoming release 'Maan Gayre Mughall-E-Azam', focus is bound to shift
from this Anu Malik soundtrack.
The film has met with a lukewarm response at the box office which is bound to
adversely effect album sales as well

Race
It's Pritam all the way from top till the bottom of the charts as his albums
from early this year - 'Race' and 'Jannat' - swap positions. Moving a spot up,
'Race' continues to find an entry into the households which still do not own a
copy of this year's bestseller!

Jannat
With newer albums like 'C Kkompany', 'Maan Gaye Mughall-E-Azam', 'Hijack' and
'Ada' still waiting to make a dent into the charts, it is songs from 'Jannat'
which are continuing to catch fancy of music lovers.
