Dear Friends,

Let us vote for 'Adi Rakkamma' from THALAPATHI as our choice for the World's Top Ten Songs poll conducted by BBC!

I am suggesting this song because if in case the BBC people listen to the nominated songs, they will feel knocked out on hearing our Maestro's 150 Vioins' Strings Ensemble!

Let us all do it at:

Yours Always Musically,
Vijay.

  After 10 years of the so called "Isai puyal"s and "thenisai thendral"s , this shows the grip IR weilds over the music lovers of India. Let God sees that this giant from Asia gets atleast 10% of what he deserves in the international arena !

  how come the so called the official website http://www.raajangahm.com hasnt said anything officially about this poll in bbc, its time they move their lazy backside and do something at the right time.
  god!so much backbiting and bitching about this achievement(i know the same thing happened when BD was released in london).why are we so pathetic (tamilians and indians in particular), cant we appreciate this opportunity and support unanimously.
  one thing no can deny is that RKT is such a phenomenal song with a great start(markedly limited by my vocabulary).
  common guys, if cher's song can come third!!!...
  its an insult to RKT to lie so close to it, such is the greatness of this song.
  please dont waste this moment.

  Tamil tune leads Top Ten
  
  
  
  
  HERE'S A piece of news that's sure to surprise as well as delight music fans in this part of the world. Tamil song "Adi Rakkamma Kaiya Thattu" currently leads the BBC World Service's World's Top Ten. In the list compiled by the BBC World Service as part of its 70th anniversary celebration, the song, which is right on top, has left behind western pop and rock classics such as "Yesterday", "Bohemian Rhapsody", and "Stairway to Heaven".
  
  "Adi Rakkamma Kaiya Thattu", from the Tamil film, "Dalapathi", sung by S.P. Balasubramaniam and Swarnalatha, and tuned by well-known Tamil film director, Illayaraja, leads the BBC World Service poll, which has attracted votes from 112 countries. So far, the most number of votes have been sent in from India.
  
  The Tamil favourite is followed by Cliff Richard's "We Don't Talk Anymore" (No.2), Cher's "Believe" (No.3), John Lennon's "Imagine" (No.4), Bankim Chandra Chatterjee's "Vande Mataram", sung and composed by A.R. Rehman (No.5), Queens' "Bohemian Rhapsody" (No.6), "Chaiyan Chaiyan" written by Gulzar, composed by A.R. Rehman and sung by Sukhvinder ( No.7), "Stairway to Heaven" by Led Zeppelin (No.8), the Beatles' "Yesterday" (No.9), and the Eagles' "Hotel California" (No.10).
  
  More than 1,000 different songs have been nominated from amid innumerable votes. More Beatles' songs have been nominated than any other single artist.
  
  The final chart of the World's Top Ten will be run in the programme "Wright Round the World" on December 21. It will also be broadcast across the language sections of the BBC World Service.
  
  Incidentally, votes for the World's Top Ten are accepted by post and electronically via a dedicated website bbcworldservice.com/70, which details the most popular nominations, identifies musical trends, and highlights the most exciting choices. Thirty-second "tasters" of the World's Top Ten are also available on the site.
  
  The BBC World Service broadcasts programmes around the world in 43 languages and is available on radio, and online on bbcworldservice.com.
