Here it is, finally! There are still some interesting soundtracks expected (particularly in Tamil – like A R Rahman’s Vinnaithaandi Varuvaaya and Yuvan Shankar Raja’s Goa), but it’d be unfair to wait for them and decide on them in such limited time given that we have just 2 weeks more in 2009! 2009, in my opinion, has been a stellar year for Hindi and Telugu music, an average year for Kannada and Malayalam music and a sad year for Tamil music. Also, I considered posting the lists as 5 separate posts, but the point of Milliblog has always been uniting music across languages – so, a single, master post! So, without much ado, here goes!

As always, the lists here are in order of preference…no random lists in Milliblog!

Hindi

Hindi film music, in my opinion, had a fantastic year. It was so good that I found really difficult to come up with a final top 10 songs list! So, breaking usual tradition, besides the top 10, I also have a 11-20 list that did not make it to my top 10. Another reason for this extension is that people tend to ask me the ones that did not make to the top 10, in the comments section. Besides, the 11-20 list adds justification to my choice of the Composer(s) of the year, since that is not a mere result of being in one of the top 3 soundtracks or being a composer(s) of one of the top 3 songs. My choice of composer(s) of the year is more from the point of consistency, all through the year. After Aamir in 2008. Amit Trivedi continues to impress in 2009, even if he had just one soundtrack and a solo song in another soundtrack. Vishal Bharadwaj was, as usual, in incredible form in Kaminey, but the man who stole the year was A R Rahman, with a soundtrack that elicited Milliblog’s first ever 300 word gushing review! But, Shankar Ehsaan Loy deserve the title of Composer(s) of the year due to the sheer range of impressive songs they composed – 5 out of the top 20, to be specific.

Composer(s) of the year: Shankar Ehsaan Loy

Top 3 Hindi OSTs, 2009
1. Delhi 6 (A R Rahman)
2. Gulal (Piyush Mishra)
3. Dev.D (Amit Trivedi)
