Nobody in the world knows Soviet and Russian pop musicians. Especially in the West. However, musicians from Russia in different time entered the Western charts.

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 tell the Russian public lies about the successes of certain performers in the West. It's getting really funny.

Kirkorov traveled to Monte Carlo for The World Music Awards- shows of the best-selling performers in their countries, but it is quite difficult to find a person in Russia who has Kirkorov’s album. Pugacheva, as you know, in 1997 took only 15 place out of 25 at the useless Eurovision.

For some reason, Sergei Lazarev sings in English, something the human brain simply cannot handle. Joseph Prigogine, who became an obsession with pushing Valeria to the West, once said in a paid article in a British newspaper that his wife had sold 100 million albums in Russia.

The rapper Timati had the biggest success when the Swiss DJ Antoine remixed Timati's song Welcome to St. Tropez. The song topped the charts all over the world, except for the UK and the US. In Switzerland, the song took sixth place at the end of the year. This is our peak pop singers behind Lately.

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

1. Composer Aram Khachaturian - 1972

One of the recordings of the music of his ballet “Spartacus” called Spartacus, which Khachaturian made together with the London symphony orchestra, entered the British albums chart in 1972, reached number 16 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, released in England and the USA, took 198th place on the Billboard200, despite the fact that it was recorded with the then super-popular group Eurythmics. The video shows BG's performance on David Letterman's popular TV show.

3. Gorky Park-1990

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

But Gorky Park generally sold well - 300 thousand copies sold in America alone - this is a very good result. Much more success the group achieved success in Scandinavia. Gorky Park in Norway reached 9th place, and the single Bang - 5th. In Denmark, the album Moscow Calling It even went platinum.

4. Alsou-2000

With the song Before You Love Me "under Britney Spears" got to 27th place for only a week, during the period when they were trying to promote it in Europe after 2nd place at Eurovision.

5. PPK-2001

The Rostov trance project PPK, with the release of a separate single ResuRection (Eduard Artemyev’s melody from the film “Sibiriyada” by Andrei Konchalovsky with the voice of Yuri Gagarin), debuted in the UK immediately in third place!

The song became the first track from Russia to be in hot rotation on BBC Radio One. ResuRection was then released in other countries, where it also charted successfully - number 5 in the Netherlands, number 9 in Belgium, and number 15 in France and number 36 in Australia.

6. Tattoo-2003

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

The English-language album now has gold status in four countries and platinum in Europe as a whole, the song “All the Things She Said” occupied the first line of the British chart for several weeks, and a cover of The Smiths was performed in the TV series “Gossip Girl” in 2009.

7. Leonid Agutin - 2007

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

8. Eduard Khil - 2009

A well-known, sad and beautiful story, due to which the great pop singer is known in the world as “Mr. Trololo”. On November 26, 2009, user RealPapaPit posted on YouTube the vocalization “I’m very happy, because I’m 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.

9. Pussy Riot-2012

This is the only group here that has not been on the Western charts, but it cannot be ignored. From a musical point of view, this is a comical story. A group whose songs no one had really heard anywhere became the most famous musical group from Russia recently. Suffice it to say that in the West the Cathedral of Christ the Savior is known as Pussy Riot Church.

Soon after the arrest of Nadezhda Tolokonnikova, Maria Alekhina and Ekaterina Samutsevich, musicians around 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 records are constantly on the charts classical music, but in some countries they also appear on general music charts. Especially in Austria and Germany. Thus, 15 of Netrebko’s albums entered the Austrian chart .

Bonus: The most famous Russian music video in the world

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

Who is the most famous Russian singer? The most famous Russian singers

The Russian pop scene, which has been actively gaining momentum for a long time, is increasingly becoming the object of observation by Western media, which periodically compile their own ratings of our performers. For example, the world-famous publication Forbes cites detailed descriptions income level of domestic stars for a certain period. Some foreign newspapers and magazines compile lists of those Russian musicians whose compositions occupy leading positions in the charts. Sometimes, when figuring out who the most famous Russian singer is, they take data from surveys of people on the Internet as a basis.

The most famous domestic performer of the last decade

At the end of 2014, a special rating of Russian vocalists was compiled, according to which the latter were ranked according to the rotation of their works on domestic radio stations. This was done in order to find out which of the most famous Russian singers could be awarded this high title in the opinion of the listeners themselves, who had been ordering certain songs on air for ten years.

As a result, the undisputed leadership was won by the famous Russian pop singer Dima Bilan, whose songs during the above period of time were heard on the radio more than 5,500,000 times, which is a record result.

Following Bilan is Yulia Savicheva, who, however, is almost a million plays behind the leader of this rating. The “Vintage” team closes the top three winners, only 1000 points behind the silver medalist.

Who is the richest Russian musician?

One way or another, it is quite difficult to say which most famous Russian singer received the most recognition in the West. According to a user survey in in social networks, the most famous domestic musicians, along with Dima Bilan, are such performers as Sergei Lazarev and Grigory Leps, who managed to bypass such serious masters of modern Russian stage, like Philip Kirkorov, Valery Leontyev and Valery Meladze.

However, if we talk about those musicians whose income is maximum, then in this case the list will be somewhat different. Forbes magazine provides data according to which it is possible to answer which most famous Russian singer is the leader, according to the fees and income received. The first line in this list is confidently occupied by Grigory Leps, not far from whom are the beloved Stas Mikhailov and Philip Kirkorov.

The most famous Russian singers of the 20th century

Modern performers have certainly achieved certain heights in show business and deserve global recognition. However, we should not forget those who supported the image of Russia and everything Soviet Union in the last century and became a true legend on the world stage.

Answering the question about which most famous Russian singer conquered everyone with his charisma and talent Earth, we can give a definite answer - this is the famous Fedor Chaliapin, whose bass sounded on stage the most famous theaters. It’s hard to confuse his timbre with anyone else’s, and his love for romances made Chaliapin truly a folk singer.

Without any doubt, Lyudmila Zykina, a woman who won the hearts of viewers with her spontaneity and originality, can also be called a real legend. She was an idol for several generations at once and was the personification of the Russian soul and, to some extent, Russia as a whole.

List of domestic and, in particular, Soviet singers that have earned worldwide recognition is truly wide, and this once again proves that the nationality of the performer is far from playing the most important role, because the main criteria here are precisely his talent and inner strength.

Having already arrived in Moscow as an adult, I immediately noted that there is no such harsh attitude towards Jews as in Ukraine. Since then, I have achieved a lot in life. And a lot has changed in the country. And yet, I am very concerned about that there is a MEOC, and that here I am always “one among my own.”

Soviet and Russian comedian, singer and TV presenter. Honored Artist of the RSFSR, People's Artist of the RSFSR. Born into the Jewish family of builder Nathan Lvovich Vinokur.

The singer did what no one could do. got into the “daughter” of the main US chart with a song in Russian. In 2007, the track was placed at number 41 on the Hot Adult Contemporary Tracks. “I Will” had a chance to get into the Billboard Hot 100, if not for the rule according to which songs not released in the United States fly past the “Hot 100” in 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 was a national event. Not about the stunning success itself popular singer almost everything was written in Russia Russian publications. To make it clear what kind of musical Chomolungma Valeria conquered, the publications specified that the single “American Dream” by Britney Spears was then ranked 45th. Over time, the track managed to reach number 25 and stay on the chart for more than 10 weeks.

Serebro

The group has several tracks that appeared in various international charts. "Mama Lover" entered the Japan Hot 100 (Japan's national chart) at number 49. And Mi Mi Mi - up to 88th line. The English version of “Mama Lyuba” also appeared in Mexico, reaching 19th place on the 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.

Yulia Kova

Singer Yulia Kova made her debut quite successfully 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.

"PPK" - Resurrection

The Russian electronic band first conquered the Internet, and then the national charts in Great Britain.

In 2001, the track “Resurrection” was included in the rotation of BBC Radio One. Perhaps thanks to this, the single soon reached third place in the UK Singles Charts. The track was based on a motif from the soundtrack Soviet film“Sibiriyada”, written by Eduard Artemyev.

“Gorky Park” - Try to Find Me

Now let’s remember about the artifact of ancient times that escaped from behind iron curtain right after it rusted. The group's self-titled debut disc sold 300 thousand copies in the United States. This was in 1989. In "hot" numbers, it peaked at number 80 and spent two weeks overall on the Billboard 200. Only one song managed to make it onto the Billboard Hot 100. Try To Find Me reached number 81. The group was relatively successful in Norway and Denmark.

In the wake of interest in Russia at that time, many producers tried to find someone and promote them, but it didn’t work out very well. One can only recall the group “Aquarium”, whose long play Radio Silence was on the 198th place on 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 in the singer’s PR team did something wrong, and her single Before You Love Me was able to debut in 2001 on the UK Singles Chart only in 27th place and stay on the chart for only three weeks. Although it is worth admitting that the track was no different from the endless pop bubble gum that stormed the American and English charts at that time.

Leonid Rudenko - Everybody

The DJ's career began after he, rejected by Russian record companies, began sending his records via e-mail managers of Western labels. Soon he signed his first contract.

In 2009, the single Everybody entered the UK national chart. Having debuted in 24th place, he left the top 100 after just three weeks. The single later ranked second on the Upfront Club Chart's list of the top 100 tracks of the year.

t.A.T.u.

Three singles entered the UK charts: Not Gonna Get Us, All About Us and All the Things She Said, thanks to which she became the first Russian group, which reached the top of this chart. The song was in the lead for four weeks.

The group also achieved success in the USA. The debut English-language album, for example, ended up in 13th place on the Billboard 200.

But most of all t.A.T.u. loved in Japan. Here the record 200 km/h in the Wrong Lane sold 1.8 million copies. At that time, these were record sales among foreign artists. By the way, after the breakup of the group, one of the ex-members again submitted to Billboard. The remix of Lena Katina's single Never Forget managed to reach the top of the magazine's dance chart.

Roman Litvinov, better known as Mujuice, is perhaps the most notable performer electronic music in Russia last decade. The artist has more than a dozen full-length releases, a minority of which were recorded with live vocals.

The last such album was Amore e morte, released last year. The release got lost in the flow of new music and did not become as successful as, for example, Cool Cool Death!, released ten years ago. Despite this, Mujuice is still popular today; musicians such as Zemfira Ramazanova do not hesitate to collaborate with him, and the performer himself is a welcome participant in major Russian and foreign festivals.

2. Antokha MC

“Antokha MC” is a musician from Moscow, who started by studying at a music school in the “Trumpet” class, and is now one of the most promising Russian hip-hop artists.

In Anton’s work you can find echoes of 5’nizza and Mikhey, but in general it is quite original - it is not hip-hop in the classical sense of the term. The music is influenced by funk and reggae, and an additional highlight is the accompaniment, which in some songs is played by a trumpet.

3. Medjikul

The absence of the St. Petersburg group “Medzhikul” in radio and TV rotation is quite possibly a temporary phenomenon. In their debut album“All about Marfa” has everything to please almost any listener: you can dance to both incendiary and slow dancing, they want to sing along, while the music itself is very far from the tired pop music.

“Medzhikul” is perhaps the first group in Russia that performs music in the genre of rhythm and blues of the 70s - the so-called Motown Sound. St. Petersburgers skillfully combine the features of this genre with modern musical techniques and funny lyrics in Russian, as a result their compositions sound fresh and familiar at the same time.

4. Harajiev Smokes Virginia!

A group from Kazan, which started in 2009 with killer math-rock, now performing indie rock with elements of pop music. The group has six full-fledged releases, each of which will probably remain forever in the memory of my smartphone.

There are only three people in the group, the main instrumental core consists of drums, bass, guitar and vocals. HSV records also use other instruments, but this minimum set is enough to perform songs at concerts. If you love playful and romantic guitar music, do not understand English lyrics and have no prejudices about high-pitched male vocals, then Harajiev Smokes Virginia! you'll like it.

5.Motorama

Rostov-on-Don gave fans of hip-hop “Casta”, and fans of modern independent music - the couple Vlad and Irina Parshin, who were at the origins of the projects Motorama, “Morning” and “Bergen Kremer” (“Summer in the City”). Motorama is considered to be the main project of the musicians: the band’s discography includes four full-length and two mini-albums, and the tour map extends far beyond Russia.

Motorama's work is usually classified as post-punk and twee-pop. Unpretentious progressions and melodies, a 4/4 time signature and minimalistic accompaniment make Motorama's music simple and enjoyable.

6. Thank you

"Musical group from Moscow" is full text annotations in the “Thank you” community “VKontakte”. The participants do not try to show off their diversity of style tags and do not compare themselves with the hegemons of the genres. The band's style is really hard to describe without being boring. musical terms. Speaking in simple words, “Spasibo” - playful and sometimes experimental guitar rock with intelligent lyrics in their native language.

7. BCH

BCH is a project of Moscow musician Viktor Isaev. It all started with the album “Minion”, released in 2014, unusual both in form and content. High-quality R&B and soul are not a very common occurrence in Russian music, and BTSH not only became a good alternative to James Blake, but also released an original experimental release. “Minion” is the album where very non-Russian music is combined with the most Russian lyrics - poems by poets of the Silver Age.

The latest release of the BCH “Hellenic Secret” was recorded with original lyrics. The music itself has also undergone changes: the songs are different from each other and combine echoes of many directions - from trip-hop to retrowave.

8. Pinkshinyultrablast

Pinkshinyultrablast is a shoegaze band from St. Petersburg and the only Russian band that Pitchfork likes to write about. Shoegaze is an alternative rock genre that originated in England in the late 80s. Music of this style is characterized by specific work with guitar effects and the detached behavior of musicians on stage, absorbed in this work.

In Russia, the boom of shoegaze music in the 80s and 90s went unnoticed, which is why this genre is still not popular among a wide audience. Pinkshinyultrablast do not count on success with Russian listeners: they give concerts abroad much more often than in Russia.

9. On-The-Go

A group from Togliatti, which started in hometown from killer dance-rock and later changed both genre and place of residence. After moving to the capital, the Togliatti residents were taken under the wing of the Xuman Records label, and the very first release, In The Wind, marked the beginning of the group’s creativity in a new style. Now On-The-Go is a Moscow band working in the indie-pop genre and sounding not at all Russian.

10. Sirotkin

Moscow bard Sergei Sirotkin proves year after year that in Russia you can become popular performer just playing beautiful music. The pursuit of fashion, the desire to turn creativity into bold experiments - this is not about Sirotkin. Here there is only a guitar and a young man with a beautiful voice.
