What to watch out for?

Aadat - Jal

It’s time to continue crooning ‘Woh Lamhe’ and ‘Aadat’ all over again. The intoxicating numbers have had an infectious effect on a listener’s psyche and no wonder the songs make ‘Aadat’ a hot selling album again years after it was heard first. ‘Jal’ rocks!

Let The Music Play

There is no change in the albums’ position in Top 4 as ‘Let The Music Play’ enjoys its great stint. Now it is 100% sure that the album would be around before the year closes. And yes, no doubts about the fact that this twin CD pack would make for a good collection to be played on a New Years eve!

Dance Masti Forever

A seductive score, ‘Dance Masti Forever’ seems to be a forever journey in the charts. In spite of the fact that there hasn’t been a fresh music video for long, the album continues to register good sales. Nevertheless a new video would only help the sales soar further and make it untouchable for the ones down the order!

#1 Rock Stars

Second album from across the border to find a place in the Top-5, #1 Rock stars remains rooted to its #4 position. A must-buy compilation of Pakistani hits, it is highly entertaining and boasts of good quality music.

Raeth

Moving a step above in the charts, ‘Raeth’ marks a complete domination of Pakistani albums in the Indian music scene as after ‘Aadat’ and ‘# 1 Rockstars’, this is the third album to find a spot in Top-5!

Kailasa

Swapping its place with ‘Raeth’, ‘Kailasa’ moves a step down. The good part about the album’s sales has been that it has remained consistent throughout with the falls not been alarming either.

Party In Punjab

Another album to move up into the charts, ‘Party In Punjab’ is one rocking twin CD album that is destined to be played out loud this New Year. An album with as many as 32 Punjabi tracks, it literally manages to bring the party from Punjab home! Watch out for one rocking hit after another in the compilation and you would know!

Asian Flava II

‘Asian Flava’ moves a step down to compensate for ‘Party In Punjab’ moving up. The genre of the album is similar though since this one too brings the Punjabi party alive with its compilation of numerous Punjabi hits.

FRICTION 2–The Party Continues

Remaining steady at #9 position, ‘Friction’ is yet another party compilation, a trend that has caught up in a big way especially this year. Enjoying an extended stay into the charts, this one would go down as a major success of 2006.

Imported Music Across Boundaries

Displacing ‘Sona’ from the charts, ‘Imported’ is not the last of compilations that one would be seeing for months to come. Comprising mainly of Punjabi tracks from different parts of the world [India, UK, US], it has songs by Bohemia, DJ Sanj, Dr. Zeus, Sona Family, Mehsopuria, Kais and many more. Another factor contributing to its sales is an eye catching packaging that makes one pick up the album from the stands and have a closer look!
