Comparing Endhiran sales with chandramuki or Kuselan is a complete joke as endhiran was a combo of Rajini, shankar, arr and the massive effort from sun group
That is why its the whole nature of project that decideds the sales of CDs...That is why Yuvan, Harris have given huge sales hits like ARR
and now IR has done it..with NEPV
Anyway why to discuss petty sales in IR thread...we have been there and done it (still doing it...)...
Will never forget an incident where a old guy in my village came to a CD shop asking for Mudal Mariyadai ..That for me is true sale
ok fair point with endhiran/sivaji....Quote:

Kannukkul Nilavu, Kadhalukku Mariyadhai and Friends were the superhits from the combination of Vijay and Isaignani Ilayaraja. Now we hear that Ameer, who is likely to direct Kannabiran with Vijay in the lead, is keen to rope in the ace composer to do the music for the film.
In a recent function Ameer publicly asked Ilayaraja if he would do the music for Kannabiran, for which the composer mocked at the director saying his hands have sword and blood stains and that Yuvan would suit him better than himself. However, Ameer is in no mindset to give up. He is likely to approach him again
Only difference I see in the sales now and then is, people don't buy the music until they listen to it, those days. This was true even with ILaiyaraaja. Only after it has been aired on either TVs or Radios or after watching the movie, and they like it, they buy it. The living style also comes into picture, they cannot not afford to buy many times. Now, people just go for the brand without even listening to it, assuming it will be good. We hear nowadays that CDs are sold out within 24 hours/48 hours after its release. Definitely they would not have listened to it before buying. Just saying, even with huge sales nowadays, we cannot say the music is best and vice versa. Those days it was true.

but we can tolerate this break becos he doesn leave us starving... rockstar was a big feast for us...
anyway, 4 big albums slated to release in the next one year...
gearing up for kochadayan, kadal, mariyaan & I... looks like yohan with GVM is dropped...
before NEP was announced GVM was working on Chennaiyil Oru Mazhaikkaalam which was announced with ARR as MD... check the first page of the NEP thread in TF section... it was reported that they composed a couple of songs too... apram enna aachunu theriyala... adhudhaan NEP'nu kooda sonnanga modhal'la... orae conpees...
We are talking about chartbusters...i really doubt sakkarakatti is one..Quote:

See I am not denying that Rahman is commercially the best (today)..but not by much in Tamil ..and what decides chart busters these days is the nature of projects as the heavy marketing and repeated playing by FM/TV impacts sales ...Rahman has always had the benefit of that..and that is what NEP proves..
And of course having huge sales doesnt have anything to with quality.Quite the opposite
We are seeing the typical growth of western music industry here...
Big production houses, Big noise, Pop catchy music...
There will be a time soon that for quality avant grade music we need to look beyond the main stream music
That is why raja romba simplea thirupi thirupi solraru... hit mukkiyamilla..tune than mukkiyam..dheerka dharisi
sakkarakatti was a chartbuster and thats the only reason it was brought into the discussion here...
and we are speaking only about the cd sales ... and u have switched the goal post to quality of music... thats a different topic altogether and this is not the moment and place for that...
