The singer did what no one else could. hit the "daughter" of the main US chart with a song in Russian. In 2007, the track peaked at number 41 on the Hot Adult Contemporary Tracks. "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. Almost all Russian publications wrote about the stunning success of not the most popular singer in Russia. In order to make it clear what kind of musical Chomolungma Valeria conquered, the publications specified that Britney Spears' "American Dream" single then occupied the 45th line. Over time, the track managed to reach the 25th position and stay on the chart for more than 10 weeks.
silver
The group has several tracks at once, which flashed in various international charts. "Mama Lover" peaked at number 49 on the Japan Hot 100 (Japan's national chart). And Mi Mi Mi - up to the 88th line. The English-language version of "Mama Lyuba" also aired in Mexico, reaching the 19th place on the Mexico Airplay (radio chart). Residents of the Netherlands liked Mi Mi Mi more: in the Netherlands Digital Songs (download chart), the single peaked at number 8. But most of all, Serebro is loved in Italy. Four songs of the group appeared in the download chart: Mama Lover, Mi Mi Mi, Kiss and Gun.
Julia Kova
Singer Yuliya Kova quite successfully debuted on the international market. In 2008, her single Beep Beep peaked at number 27 on the Hot Dance Club Songs. And the song Sorry appeared on the Japan Hot 100, peaking at number 88. In Japan, the singer enjoyed such success that it was even planned to release a specialized version of the album "This is me." But due to disagreements with the record company, the release was cancelled.
Timati - Welcome to St. Tropez (feat. DJ Antoine)
The 2009 single reached number 1 on the Billboard Luxembourg Digital Songs, number 2 on the German chart (the video was in hot rotation on local MTV), number 7 in Austria and France, and number 9 on the Billboard Global Dance. Songs. 145 million views on YouTube!
"PPK" - Resurrection
The Russian electronic group first conquered the Internet, and then the national hit parade of Great Britain.
In 2001, the track "Resurrection" (Resurrection) hit the rotation of BBC Radio One. Perhaps due to this, the single soon reached number three on the UK Singles Charts. The track was based on a motif from the soundtrack of the Soviet film "Siberiada", written by Eduard Artemyev.
"Gorky Park" - Try to Find Me
And now let's remember about the artifact of ancient times that broke out from behind the Iron Curtain immediately after it rusted. The band's self-titled debut disc sold over 300,000 copies in the US. It was in 1989. In "hot" figures, this is a peak 80th line and two weeks in the overall standings on the Billboard 200 chart. Only one song managed to get into the Billboard Hot 100. Try To Find Me peaked at number 81. A relatively successful group was still in Norway and Denmark.
On the wave of interest in Russia at that time, many producers tried to find and promote someone, but it didn’t work out very well. One can only recall the group "Aquarium", whose longplay Radio Silence was on the 198th place Billboard in the same 1989.
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
The DJ's career began after he, rejected by Russian record companies, began to send his recordings by e-mail to managers of Western labels. Soon he signed the first contract.
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.
t.A.T.u.
Three singles hit the main UK hit parade: Not Gonna Get Us, All About Us and All the Things She Said, thanks to which she became the first Russian group to reach the top of this chart. The song was in the lead for four weeks.
The group also achieved success in the United States. The debut English-language album, for example, peaked at number 13 on the Billboard 200.
But most of all t.A.T.u. loved in Japan. Here the record 200 km/h in the Wrong Lane sold 1.8 million copies. At that time, these were record sales among foreign artists. By the way, after the collapse of the group, one of the ex-members again submitted to Billboard. The remix of Lena Katina's single Never Forget was able to reach the top of the magazine's dance chart.
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 tomato paste and pasta in the market. “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. Vera 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 Kyiv. And she herself controls the budget of her own charitable foundation "Ray of Faith".
2nd place. Julia Lipnitskaya
After the Olympics, many fans filled up 16-year-old Yulia Lipnitskaya with poetry. “Whole collections were devoted to her, and she, of course, is very touched,” Daniela’s mother, the champion, shared by phone with StarHit. 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!
3rd place. Olga Buzova
Somehow, for the sake of interest, Olga “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 problem with ideas on how to make money: she came up with the C&C by Olga Buzova clothing brand, opened a jewelry store. From a participant in "House-2", as she dreamed, she grew into a leader. And she became the editor-in-chief of the magazine.

4th place. Ksenia Borodina
Looking at 31-year-old Ksenia Borodina, it’s hard to 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 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.
5th place. Alsou
In 2006, after the birth of her first daughter Safina, the singer became interested in painting. “I’m good at portraits,” 31-year-old Alsu admits to StarHit. - It is possible to catch something important in a person - a look, eyes. Even at school, I wrote an excellent exam paper about portraits in various techniques - from ink to oil. 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 $16,000. Alsou donated all the proceeds to help hospitals and boarding schools.
6th place. Ani Lorak
When her husband opens another restaurant in Kyiv, 35-year-old Ani Lorak often participates in interior design and menu selection. “The restaurant business needs as much creativity as the stage. There are no trifles, ”the singer is sure. Neither tours nor rehearsals prevent the star from discussing ideas with her husband. 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 Anya. And when the idea occurred to her to decorate one wall with chic black-and-white portraits of the famous guests of the restaurant, no one objected, on the contrary, they posed with pleasure.
7th place. Albina Dzhanabaeva
“Albina, are you really going to work with us?” - senior students of one of the capital's schools asked the soloist of VIA Gra. But the singer simply had an internship with them as a student of the psychology department of the Moscow City Psychological and Pedagogical University. Vela month

She decided to become a psychologist spontaneously. In recent years, she was offered the role of heroes with complex characters in cinema and theater. And she managed to cope with them, because now the psychology of people has ceased to be a mystery to her.

Traveling to Eastern countries inspired the 39-year-old figure skater to create perfume. She began to buy essential oils, combine them, achieving unique shades. The feature of her fragrances is the oil of the udu tree: the strongest aphrodisiac, which must be handled delicately so as not to overdo it. Several options have already been successful, it's time to open a perfume shop. This is the whole of Tatyana: no matter what she does, she will not back down until
will not become a champion, as in figure skating. And recently, together with designer Anastasia Hollandtseva and friend Lyudmila Mitvol, she released a collection of Sweet Stuff jewelry made of silver and semi-precious stones. The works resemble multi-colored lollipops, are made in Hong Kong, and cost from 8,000 rubles in Moscow stores.

Sobchak posts on social networks both fashionable "bows" and examples of the terrible bad taste of some ladies. And he personally conducts fashion master classes, where he gives practical advice.

Somehow, 43-year-old Christina, along with the musicians, hit the road by bus. They were in a hurry to soundcheck, exceeded the speed limit - and were stopped by the traffic police. The director of the singer began to persuade the inspectors: "Please let go, we are taking Christina Orbakaite." They answered: “Come on, lie, we just saw her on TV!” And then Christina appeared from the depths of the cabin: “Hello, what happened?” The guards froze in admiration. Then they asked for autographs, took a photo with the singer as a keepsake and wished her a happy journey.
12th place. Adeline Sotnikova
After winning the Olympics, figure skater Adelina Sotnikova is called the "Legend at 17". After all, at this age she became the first Olympic champion in the history of Russia in women's single skating. Adelina has been considered a child prodigy since childhood. At the age of 13, she obtained the most complex elements that not every adult can do. Sotnikova devotes her free time to cinema. 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 students exactly the way Anatoly Tarasov - Valeria Kharlamova,” Adelina admired after “Legends ...”. - And as Elena Germanovna - me. Before the Olympics, Tatyana Anatolyevna Tarasova also advised me. Now I understand who she is - in her father!

Driving around Moscow in a snow-white Range Rover Evoque, Polina, a driver with 10 years of experience, recalls with nostalgia the first car she drove at 18, a tiny Volkswagen Lupo: “I always liked the way I look in it.” After 5 years, she gave herself a Nissan Qashqai for her 23rd birthday - and with pleasure showed off a spacious trunk, which contained a gym bag, dry cleaning, spare shoes, her son's child seat, a soft horseshoe airplane pillow, a bath towel, a volume of Omar's poems Khayyama...

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