In this series of best of 2011, we begin with a pair of singers who mesmerized us before. Then went into a lull and have risen back to claim what's theirs in 2011. Two prolific singers with their distinct voices: Mohit Chauhan and Sonu Nigam.
Mohit Chauhan
Sonu Nigam
Mohit Chauhan began his career in 1998 through the band Silk Route, with his Dooba Dooba becoming a major hit. After that, he tasted little success, until 2007, when his solo Tum Se Hi from Jab We Met catapulted him back into limelight. Ever since, he has had good success with his songs. However, his unique voice restricted to specific tracks. In 2011, he broke all the stereotypes, to become a in-vogue-must-have singer in Bollywood, especially considering his unprecedented one man show in Rockstar. Here are his best in 2011:
- Abhi Kuch Dino Se - Dil Toh Baccha Hai Ji
- Yun Hi - Tanu Weds Manu
- Te Amo (Reprise) - Dum Maaro Dum
- Naina - Kucch Luv Jaisaa
- Kahin Se Chali Aa - Love U... Mr. Kalakaar

Sonu Nigam had his fair share of struggle in his early days of Bollywood, where he was condemned to sing only the sorrow songs. However, he rose above the genre and wowed the audience with his strong energetic performances in his album Tu, to absolute melodies like Kal Ho Naa Ho and Main Hoon Na. He went into a slump by the end of last decade, and was mistaken for a spent force. 2011 saw him comeback with melodic performances signaling he is back in form:
- Yamla Pagla Deewana - Yamla Pagla Deewana
- Tere Bin - Dil Toh Baccha Hai Ji
- Phir Teri - Angel
- Koi Aa Raha Paas Hai (Revisited) - Pyaar Ka Punchnama
- Rab Rakha - Love Breakups Zindagi
- Allah Maaf Kare - Desi Boyz
- Aap Ki Aahat - Lanka (**Click to Play**)
