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.
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 a place out of 25 at the Eurovision Song Contest 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 said 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 USA, 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 sold pretty 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 now 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 on 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.
, .1st place. Vera Brezhneva
The 32-year-old singer and actress is a master of ... counting. She grew up in a family where they took care of every penny, and from an early age she went to earn money - she traded tomato paste and pasta on the market. “When familiar guys passed by, of course, it was awkward,” Vera recalled. - But I tried not to pay attention to the sidelong glances and grins. I knew I needed to help mom and dad. " It was then that for the rest of her life she got the hang of quickly and clearly counting, after school she went to study as an accountant. She did not graduate from the university, but knowledge of accounting still helps. Faith associates a lot with numbers, remembers almost all the dates of significant events in her life, phone numbers, cars, etc. The singer helps the sisters keep financial records in their clothing store The Box in Kiev. And she herself controls the budget of her own charitable foundation "Ray of Vera".
2nd place. Yulia Lipnitskaya
After the Olympics, many fans filled up 16-year-old Yulia Lipnitskaya with poetry. “Whole collections were dedicated to her, and she, of course, was very touched,” the champion's mother Daniela shared with StarHit by phone. - We read everything with gratitude. Previously, Julia was not fond of poetry, but now she is involved. I discovered, for example, the "rebellious" verses of Daria Sklyarova ... "
Everyday workouts leave almost no free time for the athlete. She has no time to hang out with her friends or ride horses, and Julia loves horse riding. But she still manages to read. As her mother says, her daughter recently discovered Bulgakov's "Master and Margarita" - she liked it!
3rd place. Olga Buzova
Somehow Olga, for the sake of interest, "tried on" new images - Marilyn Monroe, Christina Aguilera. The experience turned out to be successful, but she admitted on social networks: "I like being myself more." With every act, the 28-year-old TV presenter breaks stereotypes about blondes. It is no coincidence that she topped the rating of show business stars for the highest IQ on one of the Internet portals. She has no problems with ideas on how to make money: she came up with a clothing brand C&C by Olga Buzova, opened a jewelry store. From a participant in "House-2", as she dreamed of, has grown into a presenter. And she became the chief editor of the magazine.

Looking at 31-year-old Ksenia Borodina, I can't believe that some five years ago, after the birth of her daughter Marusya, a young mother and aspiring TV presenter was terribly complex about being overweight. I didn't trust anyone to fix the situation - I figured it out myself. As a result, the book "Losing Weight with Ksenia Borodina" appeared, where she frankly admitted her own mistakes. Today Ksenia is preparing another book for publication on how to become beautiful. “I decided to talk about ways to quickly put myself in order,” shares Ksenia with StarHit. "There is also a set of sports exercises that I have developed myself." Since the TV presenter checked each recommendation on herself, it is worth trying.

" Today there are already so many works that she dreams of her own exhibition, where there will be both a self-portrait and a portrait of her father. In the spring of 2012, the star put up for auction a portrait of Vladimir Vysotsky, it was bought for $ 16 thousand. All the proceeds Alsou gave to help hospitals and boarding schools.

When her husband opens another restaurant in Kiev, 35-year-old Ani Lorak often participates in the design of interiors and selection of the menu. “The restaurant business needs a creative approach as much as the stage.

Not so long ago, Murat opened his fourth restaurant in the city center - Famous karaoke. From the very first day many stars fell in love with it - good friends of Ani.

And she managed to cope with them, because now the psychology of people has ceased to be a mystery to her.

Several options have already been successful, just right to open a perfume shop. This is what Tatiana is all about: no matter what she does, she will not retreat until

The director of the singer began to persuade the inspectors: "Let go, please, we're taking Christina Orbakaite." They answered: "Come on, lie, we just saw her on TV!"

Recently, on the advice of my mother Olga Dmitrievna and coach Elena Buyanova, I watched the films "Champions" and "Legend No. 17". “It seems to me that coaches should feel the students exactly the way Anatoly Tarasov - Valeria Kharlamova,” Adelina admired after the “Legend…”. - And like Elena Germanovna - me.

Svetlana is the only Russian actress who managed to break into Hollywood and loudly declare herself. It all started in 2011 with the thriller Spy Get Out! with Gary Oldman and Tom Hardy. Khodchenkova had an episode, but participation in such a high-profile project made her one of the most
top-paid actresses in the country with a fee of $ 4 thousand per shooting day.By 2013, the figure had grown to $ 5 thousand before the actress starred
in the fantastic action movie "Wolverine: Immortal" with Hugh Jackman and played one of the main roles - a woman-viper.

The performer of the hits “The Wind blew from the Sea” and “Oh my God, what a man” admits: “I don't work out in the gym, I'm sad in the company of iron.” She
I realized for a long time that cleaning an apartment helps a woman to keep in shape much better than exercise equipment. Especially if you wash the floor, crawling with a rag in all corners. Or you rub the windows, trying to reach the vents - every muscle works. “Four years ago, when I was waiting for the birth of my second son, a neighbor found me scrubbing floors in the entrance and was dumbfounded:“ Natasha, you are an artist, and even on demolitions, what are you doing! ” - shared the 40-year-old singer with "StarHit". - And I had such a strange toxicosis, in which I liked the smell of wet cement!

Despite this, "Dancing" inspired her so much that the artist still does not give up classes and at every opportunity goes to the hall. “After winning the show, in addition to slow dancing, I have a soft spot for Latin American ones,” the 31-year-old actress tells StarHit.

And, as Oksana now likes to say, "by faith it will be given." In the spring of 2012, a son, Fedor, was born, and in the summer of 2013, a daughter, Lisa. “Only when I became a mother did I gain confidence in myself,” Oksana admits.

But, hoisting a flag next to the station with autographs of the troupe's actors, Katya pulled on a song from the play: "Captains of our own destiny, this is the signal of the trumpet calling us ..."
