Did you know? Lata Mangeshkar's name is there in the Guinness Book of World Records as the singer of the highest number of songs, with a total of more than 26,000 songs and this record has not been broken till date.

Lata's career extends to about a fifty years in which she has won the hearts of millions of her listeners throughout the world by her melodious voice. She has sung in almost all main Indian languages. It is due to this magical voice that many lyric writers and music directors became successful. She recieved many awards and the notable ones among the lot are the "Padma Shri" award and the prestigious film fare awards for best singer, which she recieved many a times.

Lata Mangeshkar was born on the 29th September 1928 in Indore, Madhya Pradesh, India. Her first guru was her father.

Her song "Aye mere wathan ke logon" written by late lyricist Kavi Pradeep at the time of Sino Indian war was one which touched the hearts and welled the eyes of many across our country and in fact, across the world. The then Prime Minister of India, Jawaharlal Nehru himself told Lata " Beti, tune muhje rula diya" meaning " daughter, you made my eyes moist".

Asha Bhosle is the true Queen of music & is the most recorded artist, not Lata

Rafi 2 years ago

Agreed with Tanzir. Asha Bhosle is the most recorded artist not Lata

Yes, Asha Bhonsle is the living legend who deserves the record for the most recorded artist. 2 years ago

Yes, Asha Bhonsle is the living legend who deserves the place for the most recorded artist. Lata sang around 6 thousand only, not 40 thousand, it is a proved fact. Whereas Asha Bhosle sang more than 13 thousand songs.

Wow, Lata has got the golden voice. I pray she lives longer so she can sing more songs.

SINGER 2 years ago

S P Balasubhramanyam and S.Janaki have recorded more songs than Asha or Lata. The way Udit Narayan is going he'll probably break Balasubhramanyam's record.

K.J YESUDAS HAS SUNG MORE THAN 50000 SONGS WHICH SHOULD BE A WORLD RECORD. BUT I DONT KNOW WHY ITS NOT RECOGNIZED ? LATA AND SP.BALA IS IN GUINESS BOOKS FOR RECORDING MOST NUMBER OF SONGS.

India's Great Singers Order By 'Popularity'.

01. Mohammad Rafi

02. Lata Mangeshkar

03. Kishore Kumar

04. Asha Bhosle

05. Mukesh

but.., by concidering debut

01. Manna Dey (1939)

02. Mukesh (1940)

03. Lata Mangeshkar (1942)

04. Asha Bhosle (1943)

05. Mohammad Rafi (1944)

06. Kishore Kumar (1946)

only listed great singers. The facts are not that

maximum no of song records(playback)

01. Asha Bhosle (60,000+)

02. Lata Mangeshkar (60,000+)

03. K.J Yesudas (55,000+)

04. S P B (46,000+)

rafi had sung only 26,000+ but these figures are not film playbacks fully, but includes albums , cutted out songs, hidden and all languages songs.

By considering versatility, here is the list

01. Lata Mangeshkar

02. K.J Yesudas

03. Mohammad Rafi

04. Asha Bhosle

05. Kumar Sanu ??? (Yes, his songs have more emotions and feelings than Kishore Kumar)

06. Kishore Kumar

some facts (my opinion) if K.J Yesudas had sung hindi songs frequently during 60s , 70s and 80s, then he will be the india's all time great male singer for sure, bcoz, He got versatile and he will have got a 'Bharat Ratna' too.

And if 'Kumar Sanu' continues singing till 2025, tha later list of india singing legengs will as of these,

01. Lata ji

03. Kumar sanu

04. Mohammad rafi

05. Kishore Kumar.

Yesudas is the top for highest number of songs he has sung. On his 72nd birth day i.e. 10-01-2012, tv9 announced that he is the only singer who got 7 national awards, sung over 55000songs in almost all indian languages. He got his 3rd national award for "gori tera gaon bada pyara" in CHIT CHOR and 4th one for "megha sandesam" telugu. After him SP balu. is the 2nd highest singer. His songs in malayam, telugu, tamil and hindi is evergreen. No one could match his talent in classical and his soothing voice. when Ravindra jain offer a song for movie TANSEN to md. rafi, he said that he has no such talent to render that song, that song is finally performed by Yesudas. When doctor asked ravindra Jain after his eye operation to whom he wanted to see first?, his answer was yesudas and non others. His greatness is such a great which could not express. Its very pitty that his songs people love much but dont know that those are sung by him. even at 72 the only male singer whose voice is so sweet and younger.

i think no one can be like lata mangeshkar/mahmad rafi.comparing yesudas vocal range to md rafis its stupid.rafis voice is more divine than yesudas. that y md.rafi sung so many bollywood songs.yesudas good for classical and tamil songs only.md rafis have charcter in voice that y he suits for bollywood yesudas is like just classical his voice will never suit dilip kumar or sharuk khan but md.rafi voice can still suits to amir khan slaman khan sharuk khan.Mukesh/Kishor/MD.Rafi mean to be a bollywood singers caze this ppl voice have a charchter and suits to any actor even till date if tehy where alive they would sing for our top actors .yesudas its just good as md.rafi if we compare vocal range n other stuff but when it cms too voice this 3 singers are greater than anyother caze of verstality and charcter in voice.lata is goddess there is no limit to her talent:).

S P BALASUBRAHMANYAM is the greatest singer in the world for ever,somebody says yesudas recorded more number of songs than SPB but it is not true and i dont know how can they told as that.And right thing is S P B holds the guinness world record for recorded more number of songs than any singer in the world,and the main thing is that it is statistically also 200% proved. So thats why he has entered to the guinness world record book for sang a more number of songs than any playback singer in the world.And another interesting thing is S P B has got 6 national awards for best singing in 4 different languages like telugu,tamil,hindi and kannada.This is another record because no one singer has got national award in 4 different languages like S P B.And another truth thing is that no one singer has sung different and variety songs like S P B.he got PADMASHEE in 2001 and PADMABHUSHAN in 2011.So from these all statistics i trully says that S P B is the greatest singer and guinness record holder for recorded a more number of songs than any singer in the world.This only the universal truth for ever and ever and ever.........!!! Bye....!!!
