By R.G. Vijayasarathy

Bangalore, Dec 12 The album of "Cheluvina Chithhaara" continues to rock, though the film has stopped running in major centres. Here are the hottest Kannada albums:

1) "Cheluvina Chiththaara": Listeners continue to lap up Mano Murthy's music and Sonu Nigam's rendition. "Ullasada Hoo Male", "Kanaso Iidhu", and "Iralaaare Cheluve have become popular hits.

2) "Krishna": Racing towards the 75-day mark, Krishna has proved a success at the box office as well as in the audio market. Hari Krishna has made a strong comeback as music director. "Neenu Bandha Mele Thaane" and the title song have become hugely popular.

3) "Milana": Melodious tunes have taken the album to this spot. It marks a continuation of Mano Murthy's dream run. "Ninnindhale Ninnindhale" is the top song of the album.

4) "Ee Bandhana": The Sonu Nigam-rendered "Adhe Bhoomi Adhe Haadu" is the pick of the album. The film is yet to be released, but the album is doing very well.

5) "Chanda": The film is doing well, and so are its songs. Director S. Narayan has proved his mettle as a music composer. "Ninnaase Chanda" by Kumar Sanu is the top song of the album.
