A person cannot live without music, it is so strange that he is arranged. Music and songs are always in our heads and souls throughout our lives. Who in Russia contributes to what we hear and what we listen to? Let's talk about "women who sing ...".
The youngest female singers
The Russian stage today is “staffed”, and new young stars appear less and less on it. Although, it is worth noting that our singers look so good on stage and screens that it is difficult to guess their age.
But just a couple of years ago, the music charts were attacked by very young singers. Largely thanks to the "Star Factory" at concerts and on the radio, girls began to appear more and more often, who were far from even coming of age. The forge of stars presented the stage with Julia Savicheva, Victoria Daineko, Polina Gagarina and many other beautiful and talented singers. Today, these girls have already achieved a lot: they have their own albums, awards, participation in the most prestigious competitions and charts. But, alas, age takes its toll, and they no longer fall into the top three of the rating “The Youngest Singers of Russia in 2015”.
Of course, it is indecent to find out and announce the age of a woman, so let's talk about only three of the fair sex with good vocal abilities. You can still not hide the age of these singers, but, on the contrary, be proud that in their years the girls became famous:
3. Julia Parshuta ( former member group "Yin-Yang"), a native of the resort city of Sochi. She turned 27 this year.
2. Nyusha (Anna Vladimirovna Shurochkina), place of birth, Moscow, will celebrate her 25th anniversary in August this year.
3. Nyuta Ranetka (Anna Dmitrievna Baidavletova) is from Stavropol. In November of this year, the talented and cheerful girl will turn 23 years old.
Honored and beloved singers of Russia
Everything comes and goes, but art and music live forever. Just like the music, songs and singers that we know and love for a very long time live in our hearts. For many, they evoke warm memories of childhood, carefree youth or blooming youth. Their songs are stories of love, sadness, joy and fate.
Folk singers of Russia are whole epochs both in the musical annals of the country and in the life of almost every citizen. There may be plenty of merit, awards and victories in various tops, but here are the titles " National artist Russia (RSFSR, USSR) ”not everyone is honored.
1. Pugacheva A. B. received this title in 1985, 1980 and 1991.
2. Rotaru S. M. - in 1988
3. Allegrova I. A. - in 2010
4. Zykina L. G. - in 1973
5. Tolkunova V. V - in 1987
The most persistent
Musical tastes change with each new generation. Once loved romances, then - rock and roll, music in the style of pop, chanson, rap, and so on ad infinitum. It is very difficult to always be on the crest of a musical wave. But there are Russian singers whom we have known for a very long time, they grow creatively and change before the eyes of their beloved listeners.
Valeria recorded her first album in 1992. By the way, a few years ago she received the title of "People's Artist". To date, the singer has 15 albums (56 singles).
Anzhelika Varum released her first album in 1991, 13 albums have been released to date.
Kristina Orbakaite released her first album in 1994, since then more than 150 songs, 10 albums have been released. Christina also participates in musicals, theatrical performances and acting in films.
Of course, these are not all Russian singers who have long delighted listeners with their singles. These are just the top three that were popular at the beginning career ladder and do not give up positions to this day.
Most Popular Female Singers
In musical circles, various ratings are very often compiled. Every music show, radio station, TV channel, print publication and website considers it their duty to compile a list of the most popular musicians.
So today popular singers Russia - the following representatives of the musical world:
Ani Lorak;
Elena Vaenga;
Polina Gagarina;
Anna Netrebko;
Vera Brezhneva;
The most scandalous singers
Russian singers do not earn their popularity with singles alone. Often, information from their personal lives leaks into the press at the suggestion of the artists themselves. So that the listener does not forget about the artist, even when he has a sabbatical, you need to make sure that they talk about him. Here the stars go to various tricks to raise at least a little hype around their name.
Nyusha's outfits always arouse interest and long discussions. Fashion critics and reporters go to her concerts with curiosity to express their opinion about the scandalous and revealing costumes.
Masha Rasputina was famous for her spectacular introductions from the first years on the stage. Her appearance on stage and in the hall attracted the eyes of viewers, who watched the eccentric singer with surprise and a smile.
The viewer did not know what to see when Lolita Milyavskaya sings on stage. She always brought a spark to the concert program.
The plastic surgery of the singer Sasha Project has also become a scandalous topic.
The press informs the fans about the illness stories of the artists with lightning speed. Not so long ago, everyone was worried about Zhanna Friske and was horrified at how the fate of Tamara Miansarova turned out.
Nobody in the world knows Soviet and Russian pop musicians. Especially in the West. Nevertheless, musicians from Russia at different times fell into the Western charts.
All attempts to promote and impose our popular music on the Western public 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 successes of certain performers in the West. It comes down to the ridiculous.
Kirkorov traveled to Monte Carlo on The World Music Awards is a show of the best-selling artists in their countries, while it is quite difficult to find a person in Russia who has Kirkorov's album. Pugachev, as you know, in 1997 took only 15 place out of 25 at the useless Eurovision.
Sergey Lazarev sings in English for some reason, the human brain is generally unable to master it. Iosif Prigogine, whose obsession was to push Valeria to the West, once stated 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 made a remix for Timati's song Welcome to St. Tropez. The song went around the top of the charts in the world, except for the UK and the US. In Switzerland, the song took sixth place at the end of the year. This is the peak for our variety performers lately.
Which of our musicians really achieved high places in the Western (and this, in the 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, hit the UK 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: space odyssey» Stanley Kubrick, Aliens by James Cameron and Caligula by Tinto Brass.
2. Boris Grebenshchikov - 1989
His album Radio Silence, released in England and the US, reached #198 on the Billboard200, despite being recorded with the then super-popular Eurythmics. In the video - BG's performance on the popular TV show David Letterman.
3. Gorky Park-1990
The success of Gorky Park in the US cannot be overstated. They did not conquer America. One need only look at their achievements in the charts. In the Billboard Hot 100, they were noted only by the single Try To Find Me (81st place and 6 weeks on the chart), and on the Billboard 200 - the album Gorky Park (80th place and 21 weeks on the chart).
But Gorky Park sold well in general - 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 took 9th place, and the single Bang - 5th. In Denmark, the album Moscow Calling even went platinum.
4. Alsu-2000
With the song Before you love Me "under Britney Spears" got to 27th place for just a week, during the period when they tried to promote it in Europe after 2nd place in Eurovision.
5. PPK-2001
The Rostov trance project PPK with the release of a separate single ResuRection (Eduard Artemyev's melody from the film "Siberiada" 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 get into the hot rotation of the BBC Radio One radio station. Then ResuRection was released in other countries, where it also charted successfully - 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 generally 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 an unattainable result for Russian performers.
The English-language album is now gold 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 the cover of The Smiths in 2009 sounded in the TV series "Gossip Girl".
7. Leonid Agutin - 2007
The author of "The Barefoot Boy" and husband of Angelica Varum graduated from the Moscow jazz school and from his youth he 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 he 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 famous, sad and beautiful 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 uploaded the vocalization "I'm very happy because I'm finally returning home" to YouTube - today this video has 19 million 700 thousand views.
They say the singer was even offered international tour- but he refused. Both Gawker and The New York Times wrote about Khil's death.
9. Pussy Riot-2012
This is the only group here that has not been on the Western charts, but it is impossible not to mention it. Musically, it's a comical story. The group, not a single song of which no one really heard anywhere, has become the most famous musical group from Russia in recent times. Suffice it to say that in the West the Cathedral of Christ the Savior is known as the Pussy Riot Church.
Shortly after the arrest of Nadezhda Tolokonnikova, Maria Alekhina and Ekaterina Samutsevich, musicians around the world began to support them, 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 get into the general music charts. Especially in Austria and Germany. So 15 Netrebko albums got into the Austrian chart .
Bonus: The World's Most Famous Russian Music Video
Bloody viral hit "Bad Motherfucker" by the Russian band Biting Elbows, filmed from the first person and therefore more reminiscent of an action video game than music video. The clip was publicly noted by Samuel L. Jackson and Darren Aronofsky. 24.6 million views on Youtube.
