TOP 20 TAMIL SONGS for 2024
Compiled by Devan Nair & Dhaarani Nair
Criteria used for the selection
In the absence of any current reliable voting system on www.sigaram.net the following criteria were used to place and rank songs on this list.
-
- Originality and creativity in music
-
- Freshness of arrangement and instrumentation in the music
-
- Complexity of the composition
-
- Emotional and overall impact of the song
-
- Quality and depth of the lyrics
The popularity of the song played only a small role in the selection and ranking of the songs. We are hopeful that we would be able to introduce a voting system next year.
