'Cheluvina Chiththaara' rules Kannada music charts

Bangalore, Nov 29 (IANS) The album of 'Cheluvina Chiththaara' continues to be the top seller in the Kannada music bazaar, though the film has faded away from major centres.

The top five Kannada albums are:

1. 'Cheluvina Chiththaara' - Mano Murthy deserves kudos for the album's grand success. Except for 'Janumada gelathi', all the other popular songs of the film have original tunes. 'Ullasada hoo male', 'Kanaso idhu', and 'Iralaaare cheluv' are the most popular of the songs.

2. 'Krishna' - The album's success is mainly due to the charisma of the film's hero, Ganesh. 'Neenu bandha mele thane' is the most popular of the songs composed by Hari Krishna.

3. 'Milana' - The album did not have a flying start. But with the film's success at the box office, the album's sales are also going up. 'Ninnindhale ninnindhale' is the top song of the album.

4. 'Ee Bhandhana' - The film has not been released yet, but Mano Murthy's musical melody has lifted the audio sales of the film. The top song is 'Adhe bhoomi, adhe bhaanu'. 'Chanda ninna chandramukhi' has also become a popular number.

5. 'Chanda' - S. Narayan is the director as well as the music director of the film. The album is not a huge success, though 'Ninnaase chanda' rendered by Kumar Sanu is a popular song.
