There's a reason why AR Rahman is known as the modern maestro: It seems that each time he works on a new (movie) album, it tops the charts.

The latest is Rahmanology is his second Tamil album Azhagiya Thamizh Magan that has fans dancing to his tunes. Of all the Diwali releases, only Rahman and his nephew Prakash's albums have done well.

The top five Tamil albums are:

1. Azhagiya Thamizh Magan

Music director AR Rahman

The album is a hit with actor Vijay's fans. The remix of Pon magal vanthal, a TM Soundararajan song, is the biggest hit.

2. Pollathavan

Music director: GV Prakash

Another remix makes it to the top. Yogi B's rendition of the 1970s' song Engeyum eppothum by SP Balasubramaniam in Ninaithale Inikkum has enthralled the new generation.

3. Satham Podathey

Music director: Yuvan Shankar Raja

None of Yuvan's Diwali albums are up to the mark, but his music for Satham Podathey is still popular.

4. Bheema

Music director: Harris Jayaraj

The song Mudhal mazhai is the best number in this movie.

5. Thamizh MA

Music Director: Yuvan Shankar Raja.

Paravaiya ennai sung by maestro Ilayaraja for his son, is the pick of the album.
