MUMBAI: The popularity of web music searches is hardly unknown. As 2009 comes to an end, Guruji.com, a popular music search engine released a list for the 'Top Music Searches of 2009'. So what exactly is it that bollywood music lovers have been searching for?

Rahman's Dilli 6 remains the top most searched album on the website, while Amit Trivedi's year opener Emotional Atyachaar takes the top spot on bollywood singles. A.R. Rahman's toe tapping hit 'Masakalli' and 'Hai Junoon' from New York. Also in the list are numbers like Dhan Te Nan, Marjani, Sapnon Se Bhare Naina, Tera Hone Laga hoon, Chiggy Wiggy, All Izz Well and Paisa Paisa in descending order.

Guruji.com CEO Anurag Dod says, "We have witnessed a surge in the traffic from across the country for all the latest songs and albums released in 2009 and of course the long tail - of obscure and difficult to find songs. This compilation gives us a holistic picture of the most searched for songs in the year 2009."

The list has been compiled by taking in account the number of hits received from the metro cities like Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore, Chennai, Hyderabad, Pune, Calcutta, Chandigarh, Indore and Cochin by the Guruji music search users.

As far as the top searched singers of the year goes, Atif Aslam and yesteryear singer Kishore Kumar took the fifth and fourth position respectively, Nausad and Geeta Dutt, the third and second, and interestingly K L Sehgal has captured the prestigious first place in this list. The above top five singers have been tracked quite often for their hits during 2009.

Finally, the Guruji.com Best of 2009 also consists of a list of the most searched for 'Old favourites' as a special mention. This list of old classics is populated by Aradhana and Kashmir ki Kali in the fourth and third positions. The second position is populated by Padosan, while Abhimaan occupies the first place in this classic battle. With 2009 coming to a close, the other song steadily being searched for is "All Izz Well" from the movie 3 Idiots.
