Since I've been doing actors top 10 songs. Then why not composers as aswell. Pritam is definitely most successful music director/composer in modern era. And call him copycat or whatever. He is the most successful in terms of giving chartbusters too. Unfortunately he got his due at the awards very late which has deserved it quite earlier
HERE IS MY TAKE PRITAM's TOP 25 ALBUMS. (note: He has composed music for over 100 films since 2002👏)
25. Phata Poster Nikla Hero (2013)
Shahid-Ileana starrer featured 6 songs and had 2 known super hit songs - Tu Mere Agal Bagal Hai, Dhating Naach & Main Rang Sharabton Ka. Movie opened well due to hit songs too.

5. Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahaani (2009)
They might as well all it Pritam's most sweetest album. This Ranbir-Katrina film featured 5 chartbusters. I recall the charts at the end of the year had 3-4 songs in top 10. It was just a huge thing amongst indian crowds world over. Tu Jaane Na & Tera Hone Laga were both equal big hits. Prem Ki Naiya, Main Tera Dhadkan & Aao Jaao Meri Tamanah were also loveable.
[YOUTUBE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sQwbd7FZSsI[/YOUTUBE]
4. Gangster (2006)
Kangana's debut and Emraan continued with his hit streak with this film. The album was a huge hit. Bheegi Bheegi in my perception is Pritam's best track till date. Lamha Lamha was melodious. Ya Ali was mesmerising. But the biggest hit was Tu Hi Meri Shab for sure.
[YOUTUBE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PKRtwNMRbb4[/YOUTUBE]
3. Yeh Jawani Hai Deewani (2014)
Pritam's biggest hit till date. So is Ranbir & Deepika's too (musically).

2. Barfi (2012)
That year Pritam bagged all the awards possible for this film. This is not only Ranbir, Priyanka's best but also Pritam's. The music in this album be simply be defined as soulful. Phil Le Aaya (both version), Aashiyana, Kyon, Sawaali Si Raat, Main Kya Karoon, Ala Barfi each and every song stood out for it's uniqueness.
[YOUTUBE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_4qBfcF6KK0[/YOUTUBE]
1. Jab We Met (2007)
This the best Pritam album in my perception he was deserving the best music over AR Rahman that year. Also Shahid & Kareena's iconic romance was known for all the hit songs in this film. Tum Se Hi (made Mohit Chauhan a singing sensation), Aao Milo Chalo (among Shaan's top 5), Yeh Ishq Hai (Shreya's best), Mauja Hi Mauja (among Mika's top 3), Nagada (among Sonu's top 10) and Rashid Khan's fabulous Aaoge Jab Tum.
