Rahman rules Tamil charts

Chennai, Nov 13 (IANS) A.R. Rahman's second Tamil album 'Azhagiya Thamizh Magan' is a hit with Vijay fans lapping it up. Of all the Diwali releases, only Rahman and his nephew Prakash's albums have done well.

The top five Tamil albums are:

1. 'Azhagiya Thamizh Magan'- Music Director: A.R. Rahman. The album is a hit with Vijay fans. The remix of 'Pon magal vanthal', a T.M. Soundararajan song, is the biggest hit.

2. 'Pollathavan' - Music Director: G.V. Prakash. Another remix makes it to the top. Yogi B's rendition of the 1970s' song 'Engeyum eppothum' by S.P. Balasubramaniam in 'Ninaithale Inikkum' has enthralled the new generation.

3. 'Satham Podathey' - Music Director: Yuvan Shankar Raja. None of Yuvan's Diwali albums are up to the mark, but his music for 'Satham Podathey' is still popular.

4. 'Bheema' - Music Director: Harris Jayaraj. The song 'Mudhal mazhai' is the best number in 'Bheema'.

5. 'Thamizh MA' - Music Director: Yuvan Shankar Raja. 'Paravaiya ennai', sung by maestro Ilayaraja for his son, is the pick of the album.
