Rock On
In last 5 week run of the film at theaters, album sales have continued to soar week after week. Each of the songs in the film has gained popularity amongst the youth which has resulted in ‘Rock On’ gaining a cult status for itself.

Bachna Ae Haseeno
The film has completed 50 days at the box office while the music is continuing to enjoy great sales as well. Vishal-Shekhar would certainly look at 2008 being one of their most successful years with ‘Tashan’, ‘Bachna Ae Haseeno’ and now ‘Dostana’ that has just hit the stands.

Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Naa
Imran Khan may not have enjoyed a musical success with ‘Kidnap’ but his JTYJN continues to hold fort. For A.R. Rahman, 2008 would be an eventful year since after ‘Jodha Akbar’, JTYJN and ‘Ada’, he now has ‘Yuvvraaj’ wrapping up the year.

Karzzzz
Himesh’s ‘Karzzzz’ is fighting hard to break into Top-3 but the collective power of Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy, Vishal-Shekhar and Rahman are not allowing that to happen. It should be a matter of time before ‘Karzzzz’ marches into Top-3 since the film is just around 10 days away.
Each of the songs from the film has now been unleashed on the music channels. It is now up to the release of the film to enable ‘Karzzzz’ a better status in the charts.

Singh Is Kinng
Returning back into Top-5, ‘Singh Is Kinng’ is now Pritam’s only album in the Top-5. His ‘Race’ and ‘Kismat Konnection’ have seen an exit from the charts this week though entry of ‘Golmaal Returns’ means the composer would end the year on a high.
It is surprising to see the music company not promoting ‘Singh Is Kinng’ music at all when the music clearly had a potential to further make a killing at the stands

Dostana
‘Dostana’ has taken the best start of 2008 for Vishal-Shekhar. ‘Tashan’ and ‘Bachna Ae Haseeno’ did boast of a good opening at the music stands but ‘Dostana’ has been even better. A huge project for everyone involved, it has got just the right kick start with ‘Jaane Kyon’ and ‘Desi Girl’.

Kidnap
After a chance break into Top-5 last week, ‘Kidnap’ sees a fall by a couple of spots. It is ‘Mit Jaaye’ that continues to be the most liked song of the album though!
Music hasn’t been the talking point of the film at all after it’s release in the Friday gone by

Golmaal Returns
Ashish Pandit’s ‘Tha Karke’ and Pritam’s ‘Vacancy’ have ensured that ‘Golmaal Returns’ makes an early impression in the charts. Superb promotion means that the album has only one way to go and that’s up!
Music belongs to ‘hear today forget tomorrow’ brand and won’t quite do a ‘Race’ or a ‘Jannat’ on the stands

Fashion
Staying consistent at the bottom of the charts, ‘Fashion’ is making a reasonable impression if one considers the genre it belongs to. While ‘Mar Jaanva’ is the pick of the lot, one waits to have a dekko at ‘Ashiyaana’
‘Fashion’ isn’t a musical hence one can’t expect the songs (which are good though) to be bombarded on the music channels 24X7

Jannat
Showing a long run in the charts, ‘Jannat’ has now reached it’s last leg. ‘Yuvvraaj’ is just round the corner and it’s entry may spell exit for ‘Jannat’.
