Here's a look at the top Tamil albums:

1. "Chithiram Pesuthadi" (Sundar C. Babu): There is only way to describe "Vaala meenukum velangu meenukum kalyanam" - it rocks! That one song has made the film a super-hit.

2. "Pattiyal" (Yuvan Shankar Raja): The film is a super-hit and so is the song "Dae namma" sung by Vijay Yesudas.

3. "Vettayadu Vilayadu" (Harris Jayaraj): The Gowtham Menon-Harris Jayaraj combination had an amazing hit in "Kaakha Kaakha". It appears the combo will repeat the magic in this one too. The song "Partha mudhal" by Bombay Jayashree and Unni Menon is a huge hit. 

4. "Tirupathi" (Bharadwaj): The music for this Ajit film is no different from Thirupachi and Sivakasi, scored by the same composer. 

5. "Godfather" (A.R. Rahman): Unlike Rahman's earlier albums, this one is taking time to catch up. Till Tami Nadu comes out of the 'Vaala meenukum' spell, no other album can make an impact.
