Naushad

Results

'The winner, as clear as it can be, is "Baiju Baawra". It has an unprecedented popularity, getting selected by over 98% voters, or in other words of all but one (the one voter who did not pick it anyway selected only 5 albums and rated Naushad as "OK"). The next score "Andaz" is full 19% point behind the first, still getting an impressive 79% selections. The third most popular album is "Mughal-e-Azam", losing to "Andaz" by just one vote, getting over 77% selections. 40s, 50s, and 60s share one spot each on top 3. See scores.

The survey option - to select additional 15 songs - provides a rare insight into those desert island songs that normally remain hidden in otherwise obscure or less overall popular albums. Over 140 songs were chosen. See selected songs.

Thanks again to all participants for sending their entries. I hope everyone enjoyed it.
