Bangalore, May 4 (IANS) Only the audio tracks of "My Autograph", "Sevanthi Sevanthi" and "Ajay" have scored well in the Kannada film industry's general bleakness following thespian Rajkumar's death last month.

The industry has pinned all its hope on "Tavarina Siri" - a film featuring Shivaraj Kumar with music by Hamsalekha - to break the jinx.

The top five Kannada albums are:

1. "My Autograph" - The audio stays firmly on top of the charts with the continuous telecast of the film's songs on TV channels. "Savi savi nenapu, saavira nenapu" and "Araluva hoovugale aalisiri" are the top tunes.

2. "Sevanthi Sevanthi" - The film has some popular Kannada folk songs set to tune by music director S.A. Raj Kumar. Even the singers have been selected with care with the sales of the audios and CDs reflecting the quality of singing.

"Maayadhantha male banthanna", "Bhaagyaada balegaara" and "Jaaji mallige" are the most popular songs.

3. "Ajay" - The Puneet Raj Kumar starrer is a hugely awaited film with audios and CDs selling courtesy the hero's charisma. Mani Sharma, one of the most popular music directors of Telugu cinema, has scored music for this Kannada film.

"Ajay" is a remake of Telugu hit "Okkudu" and Sharma composed the music for the original. "Hare Rama hare Krishna" has become the most popular song of the audio.

4. "Tavarina Siri" - Music director Hamsalekha returns to limelight with some fantastic compositions for "Tavarina Siri". According to Ramu Audio, which has released the film's audio, the sales have been brisk.

5. "Shubham" - This film with music by Guru Kiran has not done well at the box office, but the audio is not doing too bad. "Hani hani ibbani" and "Yaarivanu" have proved to be catchy tunes.
