2018 in Music: Top 30 Songs in Telugu

A year dominated by refreshingly beautiful music from Vivek Sagar, and of course Chinmayi and Sid Sriram!


Nee Bosi Navve - Leon James' breezy and effervescent melody, aided spectacularly by Vijay Prakash on the vocals.

Aa Bhi Jaa, Naa Pranam - Sandeep Chowta impresses with an rhapsodic score that's both delightful and pleasant.

Maate Vinadhuga - This year undoubtedly belongs to singer Sid Sriram, and this dubstep-Indian classical fusion by Malayalam film composer Jakes Bejoy for the Telugu film Taxiwaala is everything!

Peniviti, Ga Gha Megha - Where S. Thaman crafts some of the most ear-pleasing melodies of his career.

Vennela O Vennela - Sid Sriram's brand of music and Prasan's guitar-laden melody find their perfect match.

Oh Cheli - Trust Achu Rajamani to come up with an immersive melody as captivating as Oh Cheli.

Sakhiya - Sparkling and ambient, Sricharan Pakala's soaring melody is all you need to lift your spirits!

Inkem Inkem, Andhamaina Chandhamaama - Very Gopi Sundar and very mellifluous. And yes, Sid Sriram and Chinmayi.

Pillaa Raa - An utterly euphonious melody produced by Chaitan Bharadwaj, gilded by inventive use of flute and strings, and topped by a fantastic rendition from Anurag Kulkarni.

Kougillalo - Srinivasa Sarma Rani's classical-soaked melody gets a befitting company in Chinmayi.

Aagi Aagi, Maarey Kalaley, Oohalu Oorege Gaalanthaa, Kanulalo Thadigaa, O Cheli Thaara - Is it too early to say I am a big fan of Vivek Sagar? Because that's what I am after listening to Sammohanam and Ee Nagaraniki Emaindi.

Adbhutam - Remix man Tanishk Bagchi brings his Midas touch to Telugu and the result is as catchy as you would expect.

Naalo Chilipi Kala - Yazin Nizar turns up the charm in a cheery strings-laden melody set to tune by Sai Kartheek.

Sada Nannu - A mesmerising classical composition from Mickey J. Meyer sung beautifully by Charulatha Mani.

Beautiful Love - Armaan Malik and Chaitra Ambadipudi join hands together for what's a lilting romantic ballad from Vishal-Shekhar.

Deham Ichina Daivama, Edo Jarige - Edo Jarige is easily Chinmayi's show, while Naveen Iyer's deeply affecting voice makes Suresh Bobbili's Deham Ichina… a hypnotic listen.

Mellaga Mellaga, Chi La Sow - Chinmayi again, and needless to say, she owns both of Prashanth R. Vihari's tunes like only she can.

Ye Nimishamlo - An airy acoustic melody from Srinath Vijay, with a highly rhythmic arrangement to boot.

Oh Pilla Nuv Pooladanda, Undiporaadhey - For Oh Pilla…, Arjun Reddy composer Radhan spins a unique mix of hiphop and faux-Carnatic sounds and lets Naresh Iyer and Sameera Bharadwaj take over. As for the latter, the waltz'y tune features Sid Sriram. Enough said!

Hrudayam Jaripe - There is a 90's A. R. Rahman vibe to this splendorous melody by Vishal Chandrashekhar, and Yazin Nizar's singing only adds to its allure.

  1. Surprised that you didn't include Anirudh's Agnyaathavaasi in the list.
