The 71 most popular Hindi-Urdu songs of 1969

Tum bin jaoon kahan?

The Kishore Kumar version was a superhit; it preceded Aradhna. Together, they paved the way for Kishore’s 7-year supremacy, which Rafi regained with Zamane ko dikhana hai, and retained till his untimely death.

The next rung

The Geetmala ki Chhaon Mein CDs list sixteen songs that were ‘in the shade’ (chhaoñ songs) this year. Prof Bhargava has compiled a list of ten runners-up. The two lists have one song in common. Thus, between the two, there are 25 unique songs in the ‘next rung.’

GC: Geetmala ki Chhaon Mein is a set of 50 CDs issued by Saregama in instalments that continued into 2014. The set concentrated on songs that had ‘remained in the shadow’ (chhaoñ) of the main annual list of Binaca and its successor Geet Malas (1952-1980). These, thus, were the ‘next rung’ of songs, which were popular but did not make it to the main annual list.

Raags in songs

Few film songs that have a root in Indian classical music remain faithful to a raag throughout their length. Indpaedia volunteers have sometimes mentioned raags even when there is merely a hint of that raag in a song. (Raag is also spelt raga.)

Wherever a taal has been mentioned, Indpaedia’s volunteers have crosschecked it with (Raag David Courtney/ ChandraKantha.com, and sometimes the raags, too.
