#6. Rajesh Murugesan - Kadhal Ennule

Why I picked up this track instead of the Hit Number “Pistah”? You would know, ‘cause you would have listened to it already. Such an ear soothing melody number, beautifully crooned by Ranjith Govind. It would be my pick over “Pistah”
#5. Shankar-Eshaan-Loy - Unnai Kanatha

A peppy track from Harris Jayaraj, sweet to listen and impressive vocal performances makes it a catchy one.
#4. Harris Jayaraj - Mannavane En Mannavane

#2. A.R. Rahman - Nenjukkule

This song topped the charts even before the release of the entire album when A.R.Rahman and Shakthisree performed it in MTV Unplugged.

#1. A.R. Rahman - Nenje Yezhu
Singer - A.R.Rahman | Album - Mariyaan
Nenje Yezhu is the hit single from the movie Maryan. The song is all about the struggle, love, passion and victory in the end backed up by strong performance by A.R.Rahman in vocals and music.

Like it? Hate it? You all know these are only my personal picks and might differ from your list and taste to music. This may not be the perfect list but sure it’s a genuine one.
