What music - specifically, songs that Americans haven't heard - are the cool kids in India dancing to these days? Is there a good Indian "Top 40?" Any websites that stream this stuff?

I like to gripe about Top 40 radio, but I don't have much of a technical music vocabulary. Are there names for the vocal styles of Avril Lavigne, Taylor Swift, et al.? [more inside]

America's Top 40 is an institution, since the 1970s. The UK had it's top music charts, but around 1971 lists of 40 songs seemed to become popular. I know the 40 are a subset of Billboard's 100, but why 40? Why did 40 become more popular than 75, 50, 20 or 12?

What are some of the most overtly religious modern pop/rock/mainstream songs that sound great, and more importantly believable, in their devotion rather than jusy cringeworthy or preachy? Preachy titles also welcomed for comparison.
