Composers who topped the charts this year By MIO Team Dec 30, 2006, 07:41 | Printer friendly page |
Topping it all is undoubtedly the man with a feather in his cap, the one and only Himesh Reshammiya. He can beam with pride with all the hits he has produced this year. He continued with his success spree from last year with Tom Dick & Harry, Ahista Ahista, Humko Deewana Kar Gaye, 36 China Town, Phir Hera Pheri, Aap Ki Khatir, Chup Chup Ke, Rocky and Dil Diya Hai. Also his non-film Aap Ka Surroor goes ahead to strike gold. From the beginning to end, it's his scores that everyone is humming, making him among the most desired lot. He created rage with songs like Ahista Ahista, Jhoom Jhoom, Humko Deewana Kar Gaye and topped the charts with Aashique Ye Meri, Yaad Sataye Teri, Junoon Junoon, Aap Ki Khatir, Shabbe Firaq, Diya Dil and more. Looking by it, surely its tough time ahead to get him nomination for one, when all of them are best.
Shankar Ehsaan Loy made sure to add their classy touch with melody scoring above the rest. With Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna, Salaam-E-Ishq and Don, their introduced new trends and sounds, which instantly clicked with the audience. Never failing with whatever they produced, the threesome just rode on success this year. Though the cynics did upset them with criticism, music lovers made up for it appreciating the music. KANK is the highest selling album of the year with Mitwa being an outstanding score. Need to mention that Aaj Ki Raat and Mera Dil are also not far behind.
A newcomer just in his twenties, Mithoon showcased his talent with Bas Ek Pal and Anwar. He is the descendant of the new age music with enough potential to create a rage. Tere Bin coming from him is chartbuster and the song has clicked like never before. He proved that he is not a one-song glory with numbers like Maula Mere and Tose Naina Laage from Anwar. Keep the good work going Mithoon.
It's sad that composers like Jatin and Lalit parted ways this year and we won't get to hear anything like Fanaa again. Loaded with romance and melody, the songs touched every heart. Chand Sifarish, Dekho Naa and Mere Haath Mein are among the best songs of the year. The more you hear them, the more you get hooked. Vishal Bhardwaj was all fire this year with Beedi and Namak Issak Ka from Omkara. Hard to believe that it was lyricist Gulzar, the man behind this raunchy track. But there was classy stuff too as the title track, O Saathi Re, Naina Thag Lenge and Jag Ja Ri Gudia poured in. |
