Top 10 singers in India – 2022

By Sanjay Maurya

Bollywood is known for producing some of the most beautiful music in the world. Many films have done well at the box office because of their songs, no matter how bad the script and screenplay. While the music director deserves credit for the music, we must not forget the singers who lend their voices to turn a song into a deep melody. A lovely line about music once said by Bob Marley (Jamaican singer-songwriter), “one of the benefits of music is that when it hits you, you feel no pain”. Today, we’ll meet India’s top ten singers, each of whom has a special place in our memories.
