i vaguely remember some oldie called "Shanta Chakkubai" which had more than 40 songs - watched it on Doordharshan during school days and it was real funny seeing characters singing for anything and everything!
Here is a review of "Ilayaraja's Musical Journey" by Duncan Glenday, published on the website of "Sea Of Tranquility"
http://www.seaoftranquility.org/revi...ontent&id=3351
"This record is different, fun, and as the title suggests, a real musical journey"
The reviewer has this to say about the 3-note composition - 'he uses a half-note here and there and also goes up in octave'. Can somebody confirm this. Technical review of his work is what is needed to ensure IR gets a bigger international audience with credibility.Quote:

Ilayarajs is No.40 in the world's best selling artistes !
raja_fan,
The credibility of the news has to be checked.8-) What was the source and how they came up with this figure is dubious :? and who is that in the image according to the webpage :shock: Well anyway my gut feeling is he should have sold more than 102 million as claimed there. we can only hope that someday inreco, echo and other companies who manufactured/marketed during the 70's, 80's and 90's should come up with the actual production and sales figures to legitimise this claim :)
See This page there is no Raaja :cry:

rajasaranam,
I agree with you.
Even if Echo and other record labels come up with the figures, it is hard to tell the actual sales. Those days piracy was at its peak with recording shops located in every corner.
The picture for Raaja at the above site :banghead:
I just read the article in dinathanthi...
http://dailythanthi.com/magazines/veli_cinema.htm
...about this recording of 36 songs for the movie ajantha. I feel by the way the article goes it should be 9 songs in each language [thamizh, thelungu, kaanadam, malayalam] making it to a total of 36 songs. Lets wait for the Audio launch to see if Iam right :?
"9 songs in each language [thamizh, thelungu, kaanadam, malayalam]" - thats weird - does that mean that each language will have a completely different set of 9 songs each??!
