Modern domestic show business is a special world, in some way separated from the rest of civilization, in which slightly different people live, with their own worries, deeds and quirks. Russian performers are, in most cases, persons, albeit without a world name, but quite famous in the vastness of their land and within their native state, and perhaps within the borders of the near abroad too. This article will tell you about popular and in-demand Russian performers over the past decade.
First echelon
So, let's start, then Russian performers will be described. The list is opened by the old-timers of the national stage. Leonid Agutin, Nikolai Baskov, Oleg Gazmanov, Valery Leontiev, Alexander Rosenbaum, singer Slava, Lolita, the Pair of Normals, Mumiy Troll groups were quite popular at the beginning of the 2000s and were famous for their armies of loyal fans, but with the onset of the second decade of the century they fame has faded a bit. Today, these artists can be seen only at the most traditional concerts and musical evenings. What can not be said about Philip Kirkorov, Valeria Meladze, singers Natalie and Anita Tsoi, the groups "Beasts", "Splin". These artists are in demand and loved by the audience even today. Their concerts still attract millions of fans. And all this despite the fact that they also have the right to call themselves "old-timers of the stage."
The youth
Russian performers are also representatives of a new generation. Their popularity today is at its peak, their CDs are sold faster than others, their tours are scheduled for five to seven years in advance. Young Russian pop artists are quite numerous. Their list includes several hundred names and pseudonyms, the most famous are Dima Bilan, Sergey Lazarev, rapper Timati, his protégés are Yegor Creed, Andrey Grizzly, Alexei Vorobyov, Dan Balan, Dominik Joker, Irakli, Max Korzh, Denis Maidanov, Tamerlane, Vyacheslav Basyul, Ani Lorak, Ivan Dorn, Nyusha, Pelageya, Yulia Savicheva, Anna Sedakova, Vera Brezhneva, Tati, Elena Temnikova, Polina Gagarina, Elvira T, Maxim, Loya, Svetlana Loboda, Stas Kostyushkin, Noise MC, Yuliana Karaulova, "Pizza ", "Silver", M-Band, "23:45", "Banderos", "02.30", Quest Pistols, "Degrees", quartet "Heroes", "China", trio "VIA GRA" and many others.
Voice
Russian performers today are also from many popular television shows. The project with the highest ratings on domestic television is the Voice show. This platform has released wonderful singers such as Gela Guraliya, Elina Chaga, Nargiz Zakirova and many others.
Russian show business is replenishing and Viktoria Petrik can be called a bright representative of this separate group of domestic stage. The girl is the winner of the world famous festival "Children's New Wave". This, of course, is a worthy replacement for the old-timers of Russian show business. Now you know which Russian performers are most in demand at the moment.
The singer did what no one else could. hit the "daughter" of the main US chart with a song in Russian. In 2007, the track peaked at number 41 on the Hot Adult Contemporary Tracks. "I Will" had a chance to hit the Billboard Hot 100, if not for the rule that songs not released in the United States fly past the "hot hundred" of the cradle of show business.
Valeria - Wild!
In 2009, very unexpectedly, the singer's single hit the Billboard Hot Dance Club. The chart shows the popularity of songs in American nightclubs.
The track debuted at #48 and it was a national event. Almost all Russian publications wrote about the stunning success of not the most popular singer in Russia. In order to make it clear what kind of musical Chomolungma Valeria conquered, the publications specified that Britney Spears' "American Dream" single then occupied the 45th line. Over time, the track managed to reach the 25th position and stay on the chart for more than 10 weeks.
silver
The group has several tracks at once, which flashed in various international charts. "Mama Lover" peaked at number 49 on the Japan Hot 100 (Japan's national chart). And Mi Mi Mi - up to the 88th line. The English version of "Mama Lyuba" also appeared in Mexico, reaching the 19th place in Mexico Airplay (radio chart). Residents of the Netherlands liked Mi Mi Mi more: in the Netherlands Digital Songs (download chart), the single peaked at number 8. But most of all, Serebro is loved in Italy. Four songs of the group appeared in the download chart: Mama Lover, Mi Mi Mi, Kiss and Gun.
Julia Kova
Singer Yuliya Kova quite successfully debuted on the international market. In 2008, her single Beep Beep peaked at number 27 on the Hot Dance Club Songs. And the song Sorry appeared on the Japan Hot 100, peaking at number 88. In Japan, the singer enjoyed such success that it was even planned to release a specialized version of the album "This is me." But due to disagreements with the record company, the release was cancelled.
Timati - Welcome to St. Tropez (feat. DJ Antoine)
The 2009 single reached number 1 on the Billboard Luxembourg Digital Songs, number 2 on the German chart (the video was in hot rotation on local MTV), number 7 in Austria and France, and number 9 on the Billboard Global Dance. Songs. 145 million views on YouTube!
"PPK" - Resurrection
The Russian electronic group first conquered the Internet, and then the national hit parade of Great Britain.
In 2001, the track "Resurrection" (Resurrection) hit the rotation of BBC Radio One. Perhaps due to this, the single soon reached number three on the UK Singles Charts. The track was based on a motif from the soundtrack of the Soviet film "Siberiada", written by Eduard Artemiev.
"Gorky Park" - Try to Find Me
And now let's remember about the artifact of ancient times that broke out from behind the Iron Curtain immediately after it rusted. The band's self-titled debut disc sold over 300,000 copies in the US. It was in 1989. In "hot" figures, this is a peak 80th line and two weeks in the overall standings on the Billboard 200 chart. Only one song managed to get into the Billboard Hot 100. Try To Find Me peaked at number 81. A relatively successful group was still in Norway and Denmark.
On the wave of interest in Russia at that time, many producers tried to find and promote someone, but it didn’t work out very well. One can only recall the group "Aquarium", whose longplay Radio Silence was on the 198th place Billboard in the same 1989.
Alsou - Before You Love Me
After a successful performance at Eurovision, the singer began to be promoted as the Russian Britney Spears. But something went wrong in the singer's PR team, and her single Before You Love Me was able to debut in the UK Singles Chart in 2001 only at number 27 and stay on the charts for only three weeks. Although it is worth recognizing that the track was no different from the endless pop chewing gum that then stormed the American and English charts.
