The top five Kannada albums are:

1. Jogi: This is the first time that 300,000 CDs of a Kannada film have been sold. Guru Kiran's music and the popular perception about the top quality of music in films directed by Prem have boosted its sales.

2. Amrutha Dhaare: The film's increasing popularity has led to a spurt in the sales of its audio. The title song and other songs like Mane Katti Nodu, Maduve Maadi Nodu and Huduga Huduga are hits.

3. Vishnu Sena: Though the film is yet to be released, the audio is doing well. The Vishnuvardhan-starrer has been perceived as a perfect film for the star who has a role that suits his age. He has sung a song himself, which is already a big hit.

4. Anna Thangi: It is a post-Diwali film, but the audio was released much earlier. The promos of the film on television channels have created new interest in buying.

5. Mata: Music Director V. Manohar, who has had some indifferent releases in the past two years, is expected to stage a comeback with this film. Thappu Maadadavar Yaaravre Thappu Maadadavar Ellavre has become a chartbuster.
