Top and Latest Hindi Pop Songs

The Hindi pop or indipop scene is upbeat with the advent of new singers every month. Not only does it have a flourishing market in India but is catching up overseas as well. Plenty of sites are available where one can download the latest new top pop songs for free in a variety of formats like mp3, real, wma etc along with the lyrics as well. Very few pop songs now concentrate on the lyrics and melody, with the trend being towards the fast numbers which are best played in discos and nightclubs.

Indian pop was relatively non-existent until the late 1970s to early 1980s when   Biddu entered the scene with his ever green aap jaisa koi. But the real breakthrough was provided by Alisha Chinai with her famous made in India album which made her the undoubted queen of Indian pop. Since then a lot of artistes have come and gone but a few like Alisha, Daler Mehendi, Biddu, Rabbi, Euphoria, Kailasa etc have managed to leave their mark.

Many pop songs are finding their way into mainstream American music, like in the case of Britney Spears with Rishi Rich, Jay-Z with Punjabi MC and Truth Hurts with her song "Addictive" (for which they were sued for copyright infringement of a Lata Mangeshkar song).

Recently Indian pop has taken an interesting turn with the remixing of old songs from past Indian Film songs and adding new beats to them. Most of the Indian music, whether it be filmy, classical, pop or folk still incorporates the eternal beats of India, making it one of the few pop music cultures that keep traditional beats and sounds even with the modernization of music.

A few of my favorite Hindi pop songs are:
1.  Aap Jaisa Koi by Biddu
2. Tere Ishq Main by Rekha
3. Tere Bin Jeena nahi by Bali Brahmabhatt
4. Mai Re by Euphoria
5. Ab na ja by Euphoria
6. Teri Deewani by Kailasa
