What are the criteria for deciding which is India's best living playback singer?

Number of awards

No. of albums

No. of songs

No. of hit songs- commercially/ recall value

No. of movies one sang in

No. of different music directors worked with

No. of live shows performed

No. of languages sung in

No. of diff styles and genre of songs

Range of the singer, perfection, variety of genres in which he/ she excels etc. can be taken as the criteria for choosing the finest.

And yes National awards can be taken as a criterion, as it is the highest form of accolade in the country, given to the finest singer year after year. It is transparent, reliable and genuine as every year the award jury constitutes the greatest musicians of the country. To earn the National Award is not easy like earning some glitzy award like the filmfare or the stardust award.
