Wishing a very Happy Birthday to Nightingale Shreya Ghoshal. May you keep rising and shining :)

On this day when every fan of Shreya is in a celebratory mood, I decide to write a quick filmography(with minute details of each song) of Shreya. 

Though I will not be able to write complete filmography as she has sung thousands of songs in every language, but I will try to cover her chartbusters from each year (though every song of hers is a chartbuster. Please note that I am including songs only from movies and not non album songs.

I am writing her filmography starting from 2002. I will cover her songs in Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam and Kannada.

The selected filmography is as per the list prepared by me and not Wikipedia.
