The Russian pop scene, which has long been actively gaining momentum, is increasingly becoming the object of observation by Western media, which periodically draw up their own ratings of our artists. For example, the world-famous publication “Forbes” provides detailed descriptions of the income level of domestic stars for a certain period. Some foreign newspapers and magazines compile lists of those musicians of Russia whose compositions occupy the leading lines of charts. Sometimes, finding out who the most famous Russian singer is, they take the data of polls of people on the Internet as a basis.
The most famous domestic artist 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 most famous Russian singer can be awarded this high title in the opinion of the listeners themselves, who have been ordering certain songs on the air for ten years.
As a result, the undisputed leadership was won by the famous Russian pop singer Dima Bilan, whose songs over the above period of time were played on the radio more than 5,500,000 times, which is a record result.
Bilan is followed by Julia Savicheva, who, however, is almost a million times 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 rather difficult to say which the most famous Russian singer received the greatest recognition in the West. According to a survey of users on social networks, the most famous domestic musicians along with Dima Bilan are such performers as Sergey Lazarev and Grigory Leps, who managed to get around such serious masters of modern Russian pop music as 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 cites data according to which the 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 which are beloved by many Stas Mikhailov and Philip Kirkorov.
The most famous Russian singers of the XX century
Modern performers, of course, have achieved certain heights in the field of show business and have earned worldwide recognition. However, do not forget those who supported the image of Russia and the entire Soviet Union in the last century and became a real legend of the world scene.
Answering the question about which the most famous Russian singer conquered the whole globe with his charisma and talent , one can give an unambiguous answer - this is the famous Fedor Chaliapin, whose bass sounded on the stage of the most famous theaters. It is hard to confuse his timbre with someone else, and the love of romances made Chaliapin really a folk singer.
Without a doubt, Lyudmila Zykina, a woman who won the hearts of the audience with her spontaneity and originality, can be called a true legend. She was the idol of several generations at once and was the personification of the Russian soul and, to some extent, Russia as a whole.
The list of domestic and, in particular, Soviet singers who have earned world recognition is truly wide, and this once again proves that the performer’s nationality does not play the most important role, because his talent and inner strength are the main criteria here.
