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, the smaller part of which was recorded with live vocals.
The last such album was Amore e morte, released last year. Release lost in the stream 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" - a musician from Moscow, who began with training in music school in the "Pipe" class, and 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 the accompaniment is an additional highlight, which in some songs is played by a trumpet.
3. Medzhikul
The absence of the St. Petersburg group "Medzhikul" in the rotation of radio and TV is quite possibly a temporary phenomenon. In their debut album“All About Marfa” has everything to please almost any listener: you can dance to the songs of “Medzhikul” both incendiary and slow dancing, they want to sing along, while the music itself is very far from pop music that has set the teeth on edge.
"Medzhikul" is perhaps the first band in Russia that performs music in the rhythm and blues genre of the 70s - the so-called Motown Sound. 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 downhole mat-rock, now performing indie rock with elements of pop music. The group has six full-fledged releases, each of which, probably, forever settled in the memory of my smartphone.
There are only three people in the group, the main instrumental backbone is drums, bass, guitar and vocals. Other instruments are used in HSV recordings, but this minimum set is enough to perform songs at concerts. If you like perky and romantic guitar music, don't understand English lyrics and have no prejudices about high male vocals, then Harajiev Smokes Virginia! you will like it.
5 Motorama
Rostov-on-Don gave fans of hip-hop "Casta", and fans of modern independent music - a couple of Vlad and Irina Parshin, who stood at the origins of the Motorama projects, "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 twi-pop. Simple progressions and melodies, 4/4 time signature and minimalist 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 members don't try to trump with a variety of style tags and don't compare themselves to genre hegemons. The band's style is really hard to describe without resorting to boring musical terms. talking in simple words, "Thank you" - perky and sometimes experimental guitar rock with intelligent lyrics in their native language.
7. BCH
BCC is a project of the Moscow musician Viktor Isaev. It all started with the album "Mignon", released in 2014, unusual both in form and content. Quality R&B and soul is not very common in Russian music, and BCH not only became a good alternative to James Blake, but also released an original experimental release. "Mignon" is the album where very un-Russian music is combined with the most Russian lyrics - poems of poets of the Silver Age.
The latest release of the BCC "Hellenic Secret" was already recorded with the author's texts. 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. The 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 shoegaze music boom of the 80s and 90s went unnoticed, so this genre is still not popular with a wide audience. Pinkshinyultrablast do not count on success with the Russian listener: they give concerts abroad much more often than in Russia.
9. On-The-Go
A group from Togliatti that started in their hometown with downhole dance-rock and later changed both genre and place of residence. After moving to the capital of Togliatti, he took Xuman Records under his wing, and the very first release of In The Wind marked the beginning of the group's work in a new style. Now On-The-Go is a Moscow-based indie-pop band that doesn't sound Russian at all.
10. Sirotkin
Moscow bard Sergei Sirotkin proves year after year that in Russia one can become popular artist just playing beautiful music. The pursuit of fashion, the desire to turn creativity into bold experiments - this is not about Sirotkin. Here - only a guitar and a young man with a beautiful voice.

The Russian pop scene, which has been actively gaining momentum for a long time, is increasingly becoming an 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 certain period. Some foreign newspapers and magazines compile lists of those Russian musicians whose compositions occupy the leading lines of the charts. Sometimes, when figuring out who the most famous Russian singer is, they take data from people's polls 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 located 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 according to 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 most famous Russian pop singer Dima Bilan, whose songs were played on the radio more than 5,500,000 times during the above period of time, which is a record result.
Bilan is followed by Yulia Savicheva, who, however, is almost a million plays behind the leader of this rating. The team "Vintage" closes the top three winners, lagging behind the silver medalist by only 1000 points.
Who is the richest Russian musician?
One way or another, it is rather difficult to say which is the most famous Russian singer who has 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 Sergey Lazarev and Grigory Leps, who managed to bypass such serious masters of modern Russian stage like Philip Kirkorov, Valery Leontiev and Valery Meladze. 
However, if we talk about those musicians whose income is the 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 which the beloved by many Stas Mikhailov and Philip Kirkorov are located.
The most famous Russian singers of the XX century
Modern performers, of course, have achieved certain heights in the field of show business and deserve world recognition. However, one should not forget those who supported the image of Russia and everything Soviet Union in the last century and became a real legend on the world stage.
Answering the question of which most famous Russian singer conquered the entire globe with his charisma and talent, one can give an unequivocal answer - this is the famous Fedor Chaliapin, whose bass sounded on the stage most famous theaters. Its timbre is hard to confuse with anyone else, and the love of romances made Chaliapin actually a folk singer.
Without any doubt, Lyudmila Zykina, a woman who won the hearts of the audience with her spontaneity and originality, can also 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. 
List of domestic and, in particular, Soviet singers, which have earned worldwide recognition, is truly wide, and this is in Once again proves that far from the most important role plays the nationality of the performer, because the main criteria here are precisely his talent and inner strength.
