The singer did what no one could. got into the "daughter" of the main US chart with a song in Russian. In 2007, the track peaked at number 41 on 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" cradle of show business.

Valeria - Wild!

In 2009, the singer's single very unexpectedly hit the Billboard Hot Dance Club. The chart shows the popularity of the songs in American nightclubs.

The track debuted at # 48 on a nationwide event. Almost all Russian publications wrote about the overwhelming success of the not most popular singer in Russia. To make it clear what kind of musical Chomolungma Valeria conquered, publications clarified that Britney Spears' "American Dream" single was then ranked 45th. Over time, the track managed to reach the 25th position and stay on the chart for more than 10 weeks.

Serebro

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 88th line. The English version of "Mama Luba" also appeared in Mexico, reaching the 19th place in Mexico Airplay (radio chart). The inhabitants of the Netherlands liked Mi Mi Mi more: in the Netherlands Digital Songs (download chart) the single's peak was at number 8. But most of all, Serebro is loved in Italy. Four songs of the group appeared in the download charts: Mama Lover, Mi Mi Mi, Kiss and Gun.

Julia Kova

Singer Yulia Kova made her debut on the international market quite successfully. In 2008, her single Beep Beep peaked at number 27 on Hot Dance Club Songs. And Sorry hit the Japan Hot 100, peaking at # 88. In Japan, the singer was so successful 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 canceled.

Timati - Welcome to St. Tropez (feat DJ Antoine)

The single of 2009 peaked at # 1 on Billboard Luxembourg Digital Songs, # 2 on the German chart (the clip was in hot rotation on local MTV), to # 7 in Austria and France, and to # 9 on Billboard Global Dance Songs. 145 million views on YouTube!

PPK - Resurrection

The Russian electronic collective first conquered the Internet, and then the national hit parade of Great Britain.

In 2001, the track "Resurrection" hit the BBC Radio One rotation. Perhaps thanks to this, the single soon reached number three on the UK Singles Charts. The track was based on a tune from the soundtrack of the Soviet film "Sibiriada", written by Eduard Artemiev.

Gorky Park - Try to Find Me

Now let's remember the artifact of ancient times that burst out from behind the iron curtain right after it rusted. The band's self-titled debut disc sold 300,000 copies in the United States. It was 1989. In the "hot" numbers, it peaked at # 80 and for two weeks overall on the Billboard 200. Only one song was able to hit the Billboard Hot 100. Try To Find Me reached 81st line. The group was relatively successful in Norway and Denmark.

In the wake of interest in Russia, then many producers tried to find and promote someone, but it did not work out very well. One can only remember the group "Aquarium", whose longplay Radio Silence was on the 198th place on the Billboard in the same 1989.

Alsou - Before You Love Me

After a successful performance at Eurovision, the singer was promoted as the Russian Britney Spears. But the singer's PR management team did something wrong, and her single Before You Love Me was able to debut in 2001 on the UK Singles Chart only at number 27 and stay on the hit parade for three weeks. Although it must be admitted that the track was no different from the endless pop-gum, which then stormed the American and British charts.

I suggest that you familiarize yourself with your next Top-17the most beautiful Russian singers, which features Russian pop singers. When compiling this rating, I took into account external data, photogenicity, charisma, not paying attention to the merits of men in the professional field.

Modern show business surprises with new faces every year. New popular singers of Russia appear on the stellar Olympus more and more often, delighting fans with an original, and sometimes quite banal repertoire.

The most popular singers in Russia shine at the largest concert venues, decorate glossy magazines, perform at important events and excite fans on TV screens.

Often, popular Russian singers try themselves in a different role, acting in films, or trying themselves as the leading grandiose television projects, but at the same time they manage to successfully perform and tour not only in Russia, but also abroad.

Popular singers of Russia, who have long taken their place in the bowels of the show business, and already have their audience of listeners and fans, can not always boast only impeccable vocal data, they have a special charm, charisma, and, to be honest, chic external data, which are a defining feature of their development in show business.

Young popular singers of Russia confidently compete with Russian celebrities of the older generation, offering the public new songs, a new presentation, and new creative experiments.

Many popular singers of Russia, despite their star status, are very simple and open people who do not have star fever at all.

But there are popular Russian singers whose pathos is off the charts. They are stellar in their behavior, in their demands, in their lifestyle.

Such popular singers of Russia are not just artists, they behave and present themselves like true stars, which often stand out among the general mass of famous personalities in the world of show business.

Also in our photo top are popular Russian singers from young talents who have been on stage for only a few years, but are already gathering thousands of concert halls, delighting their fans with good music.

Nobody in the world knows Soviet and Russian pop musicians. Especially in the West. Nevertheless, musicians from Russia hit the Western charts at various times.

All attempts to promote and impose our popular music on the Western public have failed. Russian pop music is very secondary and backward - both technologically and stylistically.

But it has already become a good tradition to hang noodles to the Russian public about the success of certain performers in the West. Comes generally to the ridiculous.

Kirkorov went to Monte Carlo to The World Music Awards - the show of the best-selling performers in their countries, while finding a person in Russia who has Kirkorov's album is quite difficult. Pugacheva, as you know, in 1997 took only 15 place out of 25 at the Eurovision that nobody needs.

For some reason, Sergei Lazarev sings in English, this is generally the human brain is not able to master. Joseph Prigogine, whose obsession with pushing Valeria to the West, once declared in a paid article in a British newspaper that his wife had sold 100 million albums in Russia.

The rapper Timati had the greatest success when Swiss DJ Antoine made a remix of Timati's song Welcome to St. Tropez. The song reached the top of the charts in the world, except for the UK and the USA. In Switzerland, the song took sixth place at the end of the year. This is the peak for our pop performers lately.

Which of our musicians really achieved high places in the Western (and this, in a musical sense, primarily the USA and Great Britain) charts and in general is more or less known in the West.

1. Composer Aram Khachaturian-1972

One of the recordings of the music of his ballet "Spartacus" entitled Spartacus, which Khachaturian made together with the London Symphony Orchestra, entered the British album chart in 1972, reached the 16th position and stayed there for 15 weeks.

By the way, his music is so popular in the world that it was even used in such famous films as "2001: A Space Odyssey" by Stanley Kubrick, "Aliens" by James Cameron and "Caligula" by Tinto Brass.

2. Boris Grebenshchikov-1989

His album Radio Silence, which was released in England and the United States, peaked at # 198 on Billboard200, despite the fact that it was recorded with the then superpolar group Eurythmics. The video shows BG's performance on the popular TV show by David Letterman.

3. Gorky Park-1990

The success of Gorky Park in the United States cannot be overstated. They did not conquer America. Just look at their chart achievements. On the Billboard Hot 100, they were noted only with the single Try To Find Me (81st place and 6 weeks in the chart), and in the Billboard 200 - with the album Gorky Park (80th place and 21 weeks in the chart).

But Gorky Park was on the whole selling well - 300 thousand copies sold in America alone - this is a very good result. The group achieved much more success in Scandinavia. Gorky Park in Norway came in at # 9 and the single Bang at # 5. In Denmark album Moscow Calling even went platinum.

4. Alsou-2000

With the song Before You Love Me “under Britney Spears” she got to 27th place for just a week, during the period when they tried to promote it in Europe after the 2nd place at Eurovision.

5. PPK-2001

The Rostov trans-project PPK with the release of a separate single ResuRection (the melody of Eduard Artemiev from the film "Siberiade" by Andrei Konchalovsky with the voice of Yuri Gagarin), debuted in the UK at once in third place!

The song became the first track from Russia to hit the hot airing of BBC Radio One. Then ResuRection was published in other countries, where it also successfully entered the charts - 5th in the Netherlands, 9th in Belgium, and 15th in France and 36th in Australia.

6. Tattoo-2003

In 2002, the English version of their album "200 in the opposite direction" was released, and Tatu became the most popular Russian group in the world. The girls did not become stars of the first magnitude, and their success was not so long, but they sold about 10 million of their records abroad. This is a result unattainable for Russian performers.

The English-language album today has gold status in four countries and platinum in Europe as a whole, the song "All the Things She Said" took the first place in the UK charts for several weeks, and a cover of The Smiths in 2009 sounded in the TV series "Gossip Girl".

7. Leonid Agutin-2007


The author of "Barefoot Boy" and husband of Angelica Varum graduated from the Moscow Jazz School and from his youth was fond of not only pop music, but also a variety of acoustic guitar music - from jazz to flamenco. In the early 2000s, Agutin began to play concerts, and then recorded the album "Cosmopolitan Life" with Al di Meola, an American virtuoso of the genre. In Germany, the album had more than good sales.

8.Eduard Gil-2009

A well-known, sad and wonderful story, as a result of which the great pop singer is known in the world as "Mr. Trololo". On November 26, 2009, a RealPapaPit user posted on YouTube the vocal "I am very glad, because I am finally returning home" - today this video has 19 million 700 thousand views.

They say that the singer was even offered an international tour - but he refused. Both Gawker and The New York Times wrote about Gil's death.

9. Pussy Riot-2012

This is the only group here that has not made it to the Western charts, but it cannot be ignored. From the point of view of music, this is a comic story. The group, a single song of which no one has really heard anywhere, has become the most famous musical group from Russia in recent years. Suffice it to say that in the West, the Cathedral of Christ the Savior is known as the Pussy Riot Church.

Soon after the arrest of Nadezhda Tolokonnikova, Maria Alekhina and Ekaterina Samutsevich, musicians all over the world began to carry out actions in their support - ranging from Madonna and Paul McCartney to Mike Patton and The Knife and Die Antwoord.

10. Anna Netrebko-2007-present

The opera singer was able to achieve real world fame, including the United States. She enjoys particular success in Austria, where she received citizenship. Also lives in New York. Her recordings are constantly on the charts of classical music, but in some countries they also fall into the general music charts. Especially in Austria and Germany. This is how 15 Netrebko albums got into the Austrian chart .

Bonus: The world's most famous Russian music video

The bloody viral hit "Bad Motherfucker" from the Russian group Biting Elbows, filmed in the first person and therefore more reminiscent of an action video game than a music video. The clip was publicly featured by Samuel L. Jackson and Darren Aronofsky. 24.6 million views on Youtube.
