Russian pop music is Russian language pop music produced in Russia, CIS countries, Baltic states, Central Asia and other foreign countries in which the songs are primarily performed in Russian language, languages of the countries of the CIS, and in the other languages of the world. [1] [2] This is the successor to popular "variety" [3] [2] Soviet music with its pop idols such as Alla Pugacheva [4] or Valery Leontiev. [5]
The very first hit parade in the USSR was the ZD hit parade. Since the creation of the hit parade to the present day, it has identified the most popular artists, as well as popular albums and singles in Russia and other countries of the former USSR. [6]
Modern-day mainstream Russian-language pop music is very diverse and has many ways to spread through the audience. The most famous pop stars can be seen on general television in music or talk shows, and also on music TV channels such as Music Box, MTV and Muz-TV. [2] So, the Music Box channel presents its prize to popular artists in Russia and the CIS. [7]

[10] [11] [12] [13] In 2020, Zivert, Niletto and Danya Milokhin became popular. [14] [15] [16]
Since the mid-1970s and 1980s, Russian-language pop music has experienced development. Many musical compositions, such as “Lavender” [17] and “Moon” [18] (Sofia Rotaru), “Million Roses”, [19] “Iceberg” [20] and “Ferryman” [21] (Alla Pugacheva), “I Want Change” [22] (Kino), created during this period, will become signature a card of Soviet and then Russian pop music in the world. Russian music is becoming popular in Eastern Europe, the Baltics, Scandinavia and Central Asia. [2] [23]
From the mid-1980s, into the 1990s and 2000s, in addition to Russian performers in Russia, performers from other countries in Europe, Asia and America became popular, including Marylya Rodowicz from Poland [24] , Army of Lovers and Roxette from Sweden, Gloria Gaynor from USA, Ricky Martin from Puerto Rico, In-Grid from Italy, Natalia Oreiro from Uruguay, Dan Balan from Moldova, Patricia Kaas from France, Laima Vaikule from Latvia, Thomas N'evergreen from Denmark, [25] Svetlana Loboda and [26] [27] Verka Serduchka from Ukraine, A-Studio from Kazakhstan, Tarkan from Turkey, Arash from Iran, [28] Avraam Russo from Syria [29] and others.
