Top 50 melodies and top 25 dance tracks. Never wanted to include 75 tracks, but the number of good songs this year was more than expected and any song listed below couldn't have been omitted. There might be differences of opinion, but I was honest to myself while preparing the list. For the ranking, I have considered both the quality and the popularity of the songs.

3. Phir Le Aaya Dil - Barfi!
Composed elegently and sung brilliantly by Rekha Bharadwaj and Arjit Singh and Shfqat Amanat Ali in three respective versions, it is one damn good ghazal we can never delete. It grows on you, make you tender and puts you to sleep. One of the best of 2012.!

2. Piya Tu Kahe Rootha Re - Kahaani
One hell of a track and the BEST fusion music material Bollywood has ever seen in years, this Vishal-Shekhar song is high in various respects.! The outstanding singing by Javed Bashir mesmerizes you by the amazing tempo of the swaras, and the flawless, crystal clear classical rendition. The track is special due to the fact that it is one of those rare Carnatic-Hindustani rock fusion material which changes from mode to mode and from raga to raga giving the listener a roller coaster ride.! Kudos to Vishal-Shekhar for pulling off such a track. One of the best of 2012 and the one of the most under promoted.

1. Abhi Mujh Mein Kahin - Agneepath
The track I listened the most number of times in 2012, Abhi Mujh Mein is undoubtedly the best melody of the year. The soothing yet complex tune of Ajay-Atul, which many singers will find difficult to pull off as brilliantly as Sonu Nigam, is graceful, boggling and oozing with love and passion! The best part is the arrangements which goes straight to our heart, the violin, Keyboard, Guitar and Percussion which capture the right feel and emits huge spurts of emotion.! Can't afford to miss this one!
2012's BEST MELODY.
