Rahman,the most downloaded Indian artist
Britain
has become the top country to download Bollywood music abroad while AR Rahman
has been declared the most downloaded Indian artist, according to a new
research  . 

Bollywood tracks have found particular favour with
listeners in Britain, where over one in four tracks downloaded is a Bollywood
song. Following suit in the downloading department are Singaporeans at the
second spot, who are responsible for nearly a third (31 per cent) of all Indian
music downloads outside India. While Finland and Germany occupy the third and
fourth slots respectively, Australian music fans account for a fifth of the
global total. 

The UAE, South Africa, Switzerland, Mexico and Russia
round off the top 10 respectively. In India, Bollywood songs represent over half
of all downloaded tracks (54 per cent), with western pop and ghazal next in
line. Among Indian artistes, Oscar-award winning music composer AR Rahman leads
the way as the world’s most downloaded Indian artiste. He is followed in
popularity by playback singer Sonu Nigam, JoJo, Himesh Reshammiya and Shaan. 

Udit Narayan, Asha Bhosle, Kishore Kumar and Salim-Sulaiman occupy
the rest of the spots in that order. The research was conducted by a mobile
phone company based on the number of downloaded songs across 35 countries until
mid-March 2010.
