Apart from 2 outstanding albums namely GullyBoy and Kabir Singh, it was a very poor year in terms of music for Hindi Films Industry. Infact it was that bad that I have to list only top5 albums this time. Interestingly, both Gully Boy and Kabir Singh have mulitple composers, 'Apna Time Aayega' and 'Bekhayali' obvious standout songs.

Top5 Hindi Albums of 2019 :

1. Gully Boy
2. Kabir Singh
3. Bala
4. Luka Chuppi
5. War

Marjaavaan and Article 15 were other albums that had some good songs in them, but not enough to be worthy of best of the year.




Coming to the best songs of 2019, very much like I said about albums, even the case of albums with few good songs were a rarety, it was like listening to bad albums non-stop. Still I have come up with Top100 songs somehow.

Ranveer's rap, the excellent lyrics and the kind of adrenaline it sends down your body in the antara part of song was enough to beat Kabir Singh's 'Bekhayali' which is a angst romantic song (a genre that appeals a lot to me always) very well sung by Sachet Tandon. Mostly a year otherwise dominated by Arijit Singh and Jubin Nautiyal songs.

Good to see Shilpa Rao make a return after having missed her for some time, she along with Arijit Singh makes 'Ghunghroo' a very addictive track to listen to. 'Azadi' sadly was used poorly in the movie but as audio its still fun to listen which starts from that verse 'bhukhmari se azaadi...'.

Then there's 'Duniya' from Luka Chuppi that I accidentally came across through fm radio, and it appeared to be one of songs played often daily, eventually making me love the song though I still have problem with the female part. Meanwhile in a year of endless remakes (Tanishk Bagchi spoiling many classics), there was 'Bimar Dil' that worked a lot with very good beats and a well re-created classic of 'Chaalbaaz'.

Some special mentions to songs that may have gone un-noticed due to other popular tracks of that album, Uri's 'Beh chala' was one of them, fell in love with the song at first instance, a soft lighter take on life. Dhvani Bhanushali's 'Laila' is another track that was highly enjoyable, a lovely composition where lyrics talk about a fantasy future and she sings it quite well. While 'Yeh Jo Ho Raha Hai' from 'Ghost' made me feel like listening to a 90s melody, with very good vocals from Jyoti Tangri.

Here's my complete list ..
