Koi Baat Chale

For third week in succession, ‘Koi Baat Chale’ retains its # 3 slot. This is quite commendable since there has been minimal publicity of the album and is doing amazing business at the stands solely on virtue of immense fan following of legends that go by the name of Jagjit Singh and Gulzar

Let The Music Play – 2

This may as well be a first. Even when ‘Let The Music Play’ is registering tremendous sales, volume 2 of the album comes in the form of ‘Let The Music Play 2’. It is certainly bigger with as many as 40 songs from Bollywood and Indi-pop world in 2 CDs.

Let The Music Play

Staying firm in Top-3 position in the charts, ‘Let The Music Play’ now has its sequel as its immediate competitor. Together, both the albums are poised to do an unprecedented business all over.

Party In Punjab

The party mood intensifies with ‘Party In Punjab’. Decent publicity of this yet another 2 CD pack ensures that both ‘desis’ and ‘videsis’ have their hands full when it comes to high energy bhangra!

Imported Music Across Boundaries

Bhangra mood continues to be prevalent even at #5 position in the charts with ‘Imported’ turning out to be a very good success in spite of little promotion.

Dance Masti Forever

Charts continue to be more or less untouched for yet another week with ‘Dance Masti Forever’ showing the kind of sales that seem to be sustaining themselves forever. Sequel does the trick once again!

Clap On The Beats

Firm at its # 7 position, Ashok Mastie’s ‘Clap on the beats’ enjoys a decent run for second week in succession. A funky album to the core, this one has a potential to grow further on if promoted even more aggressively with a new music video or two!

Aadat - Jal

After a 3 place fall last week, ‘Aadat’ suffers the same fate yet again as it slides down to # 8 from # 5. Still, it is commendable that the album is in the reckoning in spite of being on the stands for months.

Raeth

The album suddenly rose up in the ranks with the emergence of ‘Bhula Do’ but after a fortnight of hype and hoopla; the album is hanging around near the bottom of the charts. Will there be resurgence of the album with the arrival of a new music video?

Kailasa

Maintaining consistent sales over last few weeks, ‘Kailasa’ hangs on to its bottom-most position. The question is – for how long? New albums by Raageshwari and Baba Sehgal would be out soon while end of month would bring in a brand new compilation by Sultan Khan!
