Official Asian Download Chart (Week 1)
This past Saturday, the first ever Asian Download Chart show began on the BBC Asian Network. Hosted by Bobby Friction, the top 40 Asian songs that were legally downloaded/sold across a seven day period were counted down.
This is a gigantic leap forward for Asian music as a whole, as it now officially puts real numbers into context, instead of people just biggin themselves up misinforming the public.
Of the 40 songs showcased, less than half were of the Bhangra variety, as Miss Pooja, Foji and Malkit had multiple entries. As expected, there were a lot of Bollywood entries, due to the sheer size of the Bollywood music listening demographic.
However, Jay Sean took the top spot with “Do You Remember,” and Imran Khan took the number 2 spot with “Bewafa.”
Take a look at the whole chart here.
I really need to state the importance of this show, as it not only clearly shows what has been popular, but hopefully, it will also drive people to actually purchase music legally, so they can see their favourite songs chart.
As stated on the Asian Network Download Charts Page; The Official Asian Download Chart is compiled by the Official Charts Company from UK sales data measured across a 7 day period from a panel of more than 25 digital retailers. (Only downloads released within the last 8 months are eligible.)

Free Download – New Year Mega Mix
What a great way to start the New Year.
I got this mix from Rav-E (a resident DJ and Dhol player at San Francisco’s Non Stop Bhangra) this morning. I gave it a quick listen, broke out of my chair busting a move, and figured I should post this up asap. This mix has just the right BPM, and I’m sure, as it has me still doing it, will have you toe tapping and bouncing in your chairs in no time.
Rav-E says he is all about spreading Bhangra to new ears and breaking cultural barriers, and from what I’ve heard, the Bay Area Bhangra party’s are real fun. If you’re in the San Francisco Area, you can keep track of him and Non Stop Bhangra by checking out nonstopbhangra.com and myspace.com/deejayrave

Malkit Singh “Nach Billo” Video
Malkit Singh’s new album “Billo Rani” is out now, so check out the premiere song from the album.
Featuring the production of Rishi Rich and the aide of Mumzy Stranger on the track, I still feel like after all these years, Malkit’s voice is still on point.
You have to give the man credit, for always mixing it up as far as whom he chooses to produce for him is concerned – There is also a track on the album featuring production from PBN that also has quite a catchy beat.
Just as I give credit to Malkit for reaching out to Rishi Rich to vary up his songs, I do have to say that Rishi’s production has virtually remained the same since as far back as I can remember. It sounds like all his beats are the byproduct of every beat he previously created. Now don’t get me wrong, Rishi is one of the top producers in the industry, and we know the dude actually does the work himself, but still, a little progression is all I’m asking for.

Old School Sunday – Malkit Singh “Gur Naal Ishq Mitha”
Growing up in the UK, I witnessed Malkit perform live only once, and it was a memorable experience (in more ways than one.)
This video is from around the mid-eighties, and it’s Malkit doing his thing in Jalandhar, Panjab.
“Gur Naal Ishq Mitha” was released on the “Nach Gidde Vich” album in 1986. When it was first released, I remember it caused quite a craze on the dance floor, and let me tell you people, anybody that is willing to dance to a song that is originally over ten minutes long is just that…CRAZY! (Guilty as charged.) My brother even typed out the lyrics to the song, and when typed out is used in the same sentence as the 1980’s, that means on a typewriter!
With countless albums and songs released by the man, this is the track of all tracks for Mr. Golden Star. It’s as back to basics as you can get for UK Bhangra.
