Pritam's 'In dino' rocks the charts

Pritam's "In dino" from the film "Metro" remains on top of the Hindi audio charts, which is dominated by Himesh Reshammiya.

The top 10 songs for the week are:

1. "In dino" - Film: "Metro"; Music Director: Pritam; Singer: Soham. A soft, romantic rock number, it showcases Pritam's creativity. The beautiful song is doing well and its popularity is keeping it on number one.

2. "Cheeni kum" - Film: "Cheeni Kum"; Music Director: Ilaiyaraaja; Singer: Shreya Ghoshal. Shreya goes solo in this track and amazes everyone with her sweet, innocent and melodic voice.

3. "It's rocking" - Film: "Kya Love Story Hai"; Music Director: Pritam; Singer: Alisha Chinai. An item number that boasts of Indo-Western fusion is popular among the youth.

4. "Woh Ajnabee" - Film: "The Train"; Music Director: Mithoon; Singer: Shilpa Rao. It's a dance number. Mithoon's racy music and Shilpa's sensuous voice makes it a track worth listening.

5. "Assalam walekum" - Film: "Aapka Suroor"; Music Director: Himesh Reshammiya; Singer: Himesh Reshammiya. A pop number, the love song is dedicated to the protagonist's ladylove in the film.

6. "Ta ra rum pum" - Film: "Ta Ra Rum Pum"; Music Director: Vishal-Shekhar; Singers: Shaan, Mahalaxmi Iyer, Sneha Suresh and Shravan Suresh. It is a lively and peppy number and consistent whistling makes this track vivacious. The lyrics, however, lack creativity.

7. "Mayyaa" - Film: "Guru"; Music Director: A.R. Rahman; Singers: Mayya Toller, Chinmayee and Keerthi. Picturised on Mallika Sherawat, the song has a Middle East flavour and it still rocks even months after the film's release.

8. "Shakalaka" - Film: "Shakalaka Boom Boom"; Music Director: Himesh Reshammiya; Singers: Himesh Reshammiya and Akriti Kakkar. It is the best track of the album and has managed to stay on the list despite the film's failure.

9. "Ganpat" - Film: "Shootout At Lokhandwala"; Music Director: Anand Raj Anand; Singer: Mika. The track may suit the situation in the film but as an individual audio piece, it could seriously be missed. The worst part is that Mika has sung it and it is not difficult to presume what the outcome will be. Despite all the flaws, it has somehow managed to find a place on the list.

10. "Chakna" - Film: "Namastey London"; Music Director: Himesh Reshammiya; Singer: Himesh Reshammiya. A dance number still doing the rounds in discotheques, it is moving up and down on the list.
