Babbu Maan birthday special: Top 10 songs of the singer

Babbu Maan is one artist every 90s kid has grown up listening to. His peppy Punjabi dance numbers are bound to be one of the first songs that come to mind in this genre. He is one singer who was and still is a musical sensation. His debut album ‘Sajjan Rumaal De Geya’ released in 1998, but as he was not too happy with the outcome; he re-introduced a revised version of his tracks in a second album ‘Tu Meri Miss India’ in 1999. This proves that Maan never compromises with quality.
Today the Punjabi artist turns 42 and to celebrate the same, we have rounded up a playlist of his top 10 songs.

Though Babbu Maan's second album ‘Tu Meri Miss India’ did well both nationally and internationally, it was ‘Saun Di Jhadi’ that fetched him recognition. It was his third album that was lauded by all, especially its title track. Since then, there was no looking back for the artist.

The song ‘Mitran Di Chatri’ is a peppy track from Babbu Maan's best selling album ‘Pyaas’. The album was released in 2005 and was highly appreciated by his fans. Do you remember grooving to those catchy lyrics and perfecting the hook steps? This song was infectious and had everyone dancing along.

‘Kabza’ is a lively number from Babbu Maan’s long playlist. It was one of the songs from his first commercially hit album ‘Saun Di Jhadi’. With over 9.5 million hits on YouTube, it continues to be one of the singer's biggest hits.

Besides contributing to some amazing dance tracks to the Punjabi music industry, Babbu Maan has also gifted a number of soulful ballads. ‘Dil Taan Pagal Hai’ is one such melody. The heart-touching lyrics of the song became a remedy for everyone nursing a broken heart.

There used to be a time when Babbu Maan's song ‘Mehfil Mitran Di’ was played on loop at every party. Released in 2001, this party anthem was yet another catchy number from the album ‘Saun Di Jhadi’. From lyrics to background score, the track took the music industry by storm.

Babbu Maan has also given his voice to many Bollywood tracks. The 2010 released movie ‘Crook’, featuring Emraan Hashmi, had Babbu Maan’s song ‘Challa’. The track was a hit which is considered to have brought the singer recognition and fans. The song particularly serves as a great score for a boys' night out.

Babbu Maan is considered as one of the few artists who helped shape the Punjabi music industry. Presently, Punjabi music has crossed regional boundaries and has made its way across oceans. But back then, when Babbu Maan released ‘Touch Wood’, the scenario of the regional music industry was different. Yet, he fought all odds and won a diverse audience over with his songs.

The song ‘Pind Pehra Lagda’ was released under Maan’s second album ‘Tu Meri Miss India’. He released this album to re-launch songs of his first album. This romantic song ‘Pind Pehra Lagda’ made its way to the audience’s heart in no time. The song also featured Harbhajan Shera, Kulbir, Inder Mangat and Davvy Singh.

Redefining romance in his way, Babbu Maan gave us another beautiful song ‘Chan Chandni’. Maan didn’t only sing the song, he was also the one to pen its lyrics, while Jaidev Kumar was the man behind the amazing music. Being crafted by two legends, the song turned out to be a chart topper and a successful collaboration for the two.

Last but not the least, we end the list with another groovy track by Maan - ‘Tupka Tupka’. Surinder Bachan produced the catchy tunes, while Babbu Maan penned the entertaining lyrics. Every 90s kid remembers shaking a leg to this song.
