In this article, you will learn about the most famous, popular and sought-after pop artists in our country. They are very different - young or rejuvenating, beautiful and original, talented or not. But the public loves them, no matter what, whether it's a new hit or long legs.

Variety centenarians

These are the "oldest" singers in Russia. Photos of divas regularly appear in the yellow press for many years, and crowds of fans still hunt for their autographs. This list includes: Alla Pugacheva, Sofia Rotaru, Larisa Dolina, Kadysheva, Lyubov Uspenskaya, Irina Allegrova and Valeria. Of course, this is far from complete list, only those pop artists who are currently able to draw full houses at their concerts are included here. Note: even though Alla Pugacheva left the stage, she can return at any moment and gather a whole crowd of fans.

Most beautiful singers Russia

This list includes those pop divas who do not even need to sing. It is enough just to go on stage, and millions male hearts freeze from such unearthly (and barely covered) beauty. Well, if they are also talented, have a good voice, then nothing can resist this crushing force. So, the most beautiful singers in Russia are Vera Brezhneva, Pletneva, Zhanna Friske, Nyusha, Tatyana Kotova, Tanya Tereshina (Yin-Yang group), Sati Kazanova, Svetlana Svetikova, Valeria, Yulia Kovalchuk, Anna Semenovich. It is these divas who not only sing well, but also invariably attract male gazes. Many of these singers were filmed for men's magazines: "Playboy", "Penthouse" and other similar publications. And this once again serves as proof of their beauty.

The most popular singers in Russia

You can be both beautiful and talented, but only the desire of the audience to get to a particular singer at a concert or get her to a corporate or private party is a real objective indicator of the demand for a star. And demand always creates supply, and the most sought-after artists receive the highest fees. However, I would like to note the fact that Russian singers, like their foreign colleagues, often overestimate the amounts they receive for their performances. There are several reasons: firstly, the thought - “what if they give just that much”, and secondly, self-promotion - “look how popular I am”. And, of course, the expectation of a purely psychological effect - for many people who "order" stars for themselves, the status of the performers is important, and not the quality of the songs at all. This is what many Russian singers use, asking for hundreds of thousands of dollars for a half-hour performance to the phonogram. Alla Pugacheva is considered the most expensive: she asks for €250,000 for 5 songs, and only on the condition that she does not need to travel more than 500 km from Moscow. Next comes Elena Vaenga - she asks "only" € 200 thousand for a forty-minute performance. Among younger generation we can note the singer Elka - she takes € 100 thousand Zemfira can be ordered for € 150 thousand. But the whole group "Brilliant", wholesale, will cost only €20 thousand.

As a result, we can conclude: Russian singers still do not reach world celebrities in terms of fees. And none of our stars yet can match Rihanna, who made $8 million in one night, Beyoncé ($2 million for a performance at a private party on a yacht) or Christina Aguilera ($1 million in one hour).

"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. About the stunning success of not the most popular singer almost all Russian editions were written in Russia.

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.

Leonid Rudenko - Everybody

In 2009, the single "Everybody" entered the UK National Chart. Debuting in 24th place, he left the hundred in just three weeks. The single later peaked at number two on the Upfront Club Chart's Top 100 Tracks of the Year list.

1 place. Vera Brezhneva

The 32-year-old singer and actress knows how to masterfully ... count. She grew up in a family where every penny was taken care of, and from an early age she went to earn money - she traded in the market tomato paste and pasta. “When familiar guys passed by, of course, it was embarrassing,” Vera recalled. But I tried to ignore the sidelong glances and grins. I knew that 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.

And she herself controls the budget of her own charitable foundation "Ray of Faith".

We read everything with gratitude. Previously, Julia was not fond of poetry, but now she has become involved. I discovered, for example, the "rebellious" poems of Daria Sklyarova ... "

Everyday training almost does not leave the athlete free time. She has no time to hang out with her friends or ride horses, and Yulia loves horseback riding. But she still manages to read. As the mother says, the daughter recently discovered Bulgakov's "Master and Margarita" - she liked it!

4th place. Ksenia Borodina

Looking at 31-year-old Ksenia Borodina, I can’t believe that some five years ago, after the birth of their daughter Marusya, a young mother and aspiring TV presenter were terribly complex about excess weight. I did not trust anyone to correct the situation - I figured it out myself. As a result, the book “Lose Weight with Ksenia Borodina” appeared, where she frankly admitted her own mistakes. Today Ksenia is preparing another book on how to become beautiful. “I decided to talk about ways to quickly put myself in order,” Ksenia shares with StarHit. “There is also a set of sports exercises that I developed myself.” Since the TV presenter checked every recommendation on herself, it's worth a try.
