Performers.

The main persons of a musical air in 2006

Dima Bilan unconditionally became the best domestic performer of 2006. He has taken in the lead positions in a Russian-speaking air in general (the first place in Tophit Singers 50), and in the Moscow ether - in particular (the second place in Moscow Tophit Singers 50, on the first place - Madonna). However, the powerful contribution to Dima’s success has brought an English-speaking hit «Never Let You Go». However, his triumphal performance with this song at competition «the Eurovision 2006» only has fixed Dima’s status as superstar.

Two singers can apply for a rank of the best performer of the last year safely at once. Yulia Savicheva has taken the second place in Tophit Singers 50 and the fourth place among Russian-speaking performers in Moscow Tophit Singers 50. Valery, on the contrary, has received by results of a year the second position in the Moscow rating of performers and the third step in Tophit Singers 50. Unites singers one - all songs of Valeria and Yulia, sounded last year, became superhits.

The real break in 2006 has occured at Sergey Lazarev. From the former participant of group «Smash!!»  has turned to one of the solo actors most demanded in an air. The fourth place testifies in Tophit Singers 50 (+ 42 positions in comparison with 2005) and the seventh place among Russian-speaking performers in Moscow Tophit Singers 50. And in an annual chart of the songs most favorite by radio listeners «Even if you will leave» is on the first place. Besides, his track remained in a chart most ordered songs within 48 weeks.

Successful actors, whose songs are stable rotated on air, are `Viagra`, «Tea Together», Christina Orbakayte, Dmitry Malikov, Sofia Rotaru, Valery Meladze, `Blestyashie`, Phillip Kirkorov, A’Studio, Nikolay Baskov.

Less successful are `Disco avariya` and `Brothers Grim`.

And absolutely strange situation has developed with new songs of group `Hi-Fi`, the leader of 2004.

Tendencies.

Which have attracted attention

First nine positions of chart Moscow Airplay Tophit 200 Yearly are borrowed by exclusively foreign singles: Reamon “Tonight”; Mylene Farmer “L ` amour N ` est Rien”; Madonna “Sorry”; Bob Sinclar “World, Hold On”, Tom Novy and Lima “Take It”; Najoua Belyzel “Gabriel”; Shakira and Wyclef Jean “Hips Don ` t Lie”; Fort Minor “Where ` d You Go”.

As a whole charts Moscow Airplay Tophit 200, Moscow Tophit Singers 50 and Tophit Singers 50 are one more confirmation of that the Moscow network stations (except for, naturally, Russian of Radio) remain the main promoters of foreign music in Moscow and in Russia. In the Moscow air in general only half of stars sings in Russian. Second half sings the songs in other languages, basically - English.

As a whole on radio stations-partners tophit.ru Russian-speaking executors for the present prevail, though their share in 2006 has decreased to 60-65 % in comparison from 75 % year earlier.

However, to analyze and compare data of radiocharts it is possible infinitely, but obviously one - the talented song in time brought on www.tophit.ru for dispatch on radio station has all chances in the end of year to appear in final radiocharts!

So wish you pleasant viewing and deep independent conclusions.

And, certainly, once again with New, 2007, Radioyear!
