1. Our hit of the year
Noggano - "The dog ate goods"
In 2015, “Our Jay - Z ” Vasily “Basta” Vakulenko was distinguished by a joint album from Smokey Mo, which became the best -selling Russian plate in iTunes , and the fact that the first of the rappers collected the “Olympic” . His other accomplishment was slightly less noticeable-the hooligan hit for illegal discos “Dog ate goods”, in which the “Irwin-Ueleshevskaya” story is told under the bit, like Africa Bambaata. We are waiting for the new Noggano album in 2016.

The most popular song by VKontakte users was written by the opening of the Black Star label, whose real name is Yegor Bulatkin .

3. Classics of the year
Leonid Fedorov
In 2015, Leonid Fedorov released two (!) Album of an explosive avant-clock with the Fedorov and Kruzenshttern project, an inhuman force concert program with Vladimir Volkov, where the “Word of Igor’s Regiment” is weaving with Alexander Vvedensky, and gave an amazing concert with Auktsyon at the 90s festival, where in the Military Sounds from the album "Bird" sounded. The main property of the classic is to be consonant with modernity. Fedorov, it would seem, looks towards eternity - and nevertheless always hits the pain point. Listen, for example, the “explosion of flowers” in the formidable and psychic version with “in the grass”.

4. The singer of the year
Katya Pavlova
At the beginning of 2015, Katya Pavlova suddenly resumed her two-two group, releasing the mature album “Fisherman's daughter” , and at the end of 2015 she came up with an impressive concert “whim” , which is worthy of some separate award. Vocalist working in three groups - “both two”, OQJV And Alfa-Beta owns the word and voice, and, importantly, this is her own word and voice-not from someone else's shoulder. Pavlova simultaneously emphasizes the continuity with the Russian singers of strong charisma (Pugacheva - Aguzarov - Zemfira) and is removed from them.

All albums of Konstantin Stupin and "Night cane"
Konstantin Stupin is a man-a walking disaster, a born rock and rolling officer from an eagle, a wild star YouTube , who in no way manages to speak with a solo concert in St. Petersburg and Moscow-the promoters are timid. But the entire discography of the stupa and its Night Trost group is now available in iTunes and on streaming services-starting from the first and last triumph of the Night Avoye at the hopes conducted by the Moscow Rock Laboratory in 1990, to the authentic Russian death of the “expedition” recorded in 2014. In the songs of Konstantin Stupin, there is more rock than on the air of our Radio radio station for a year.

6. Rapper of the year
Skriptonite
In 2015, the Russian rap remained the most intriguing niche of popular music. Here, a battle for the championship, or, as the rappers say, went here, Battle: several noticeable albums came out for a year - both from the masters and daring debutants. Oddly enough, just a newcomer - Skriptonite, Adil Percitel from Kazakhstan, who does not even consider himself a Russian rapper, performed in Russian. His unbalanced recitative, without falsehood, speaks the language of dysfunctional areas and unsettled fate, which are scattered along one sixth of the land.

7. Scandal of the year
The struggle for RAO
After the Commonwealth of the Collective Rights Management organizations, controlled by one once friendly team of managers - RAO, WIS and RSP, unsuccessfully tried to push the concept of the “global license” (in fact, “Internet tax” (about 300 r. Per year), which each user in the Russian Federation would have been paid against the RAO and his head of Sergey Fedotov. In some publications, publications appeared about the unscrupulous work of RAO - about famous composers who do not receive money, and about the Scottish castle of Sergey Fedotov. In response to this, custom -made materials appeared in other publications against the head of WIS Andrei Krichevsky and his foreign assets, which at the same time are trying to restore the reputation of Fedotov . In the latest interview, Sergey Fedotov does not refute the information that law enforcement agencies are checking the activities of RAO, and hints that he knows who the campaign is organized against him. Apparently, a internecine war began between former colleagues. There is something to fight for - in 2014 RAO, RSP and WIS raised three more than 9 billion rubles.

8. Trend of the year
New Russian electronics
Let foreigners write about young Russian electronic workers, and festivals, where representatives of the New Waves act, are more often held in Siberia than in Moscow . The main thing is that the new Russian electronics exists - listen to its voices: Moa Pillar , Pixelord , Lovozero , Hmot , Lapti , VTGNIKE , Lebanese cedar, NoCow , Lipelis and others.

9. Cumbek of the year
5'NIZZA
No one expected that after 10 years of silence the famous Kharkov reggae-Duet 5'nizza with new songs in Russian and slightly in English would return to the stage. Yes, and a year, when Ukrainian artists practically ceased to perform in Russia. After returning 5'nizza, they drove with a small but successful tour-from Kharkov to St. Petersburg, to hide again for an indefinite period. In the spring of 2016, Andrei “San” Zaporozhets promises a new album of his Sunsay group, but about 5'nizza long-winging-not a word.
Nominees
10. Tin-IDODA
Pharaoh
A 19-year-old blond in Tichotka with cut sleeves for a brave bit reads emo-raep about “tears of children on the graves of idols” and, from a run, is in a thousandth crowd of those very children. Here it is - their new idol, which flaunts that it may not live to live 27. This is the Pharaoh - our Justin Bieber from VKontakte. In his portfolio - several network releases, singles, mixtures and clips, each of which has collected more than a million views on YouTube .
11. The near foreign abroad
Alina Orlova
The last plate of the Lithuanian indie princes is called charmingly and slightly naive-“88”, in terms of the number of keys on the piano keyboard. She also sounds - Alina Orlova is amused with the sounds and rhythms of computer libraries, which is why a children's smile, which cannot be resisted, is collapsed into the usually sad intonations of her songs.

12. Swan song of the year
Atlantida Project Feat. Noize MC - "Jordan"
In September 2015, the soloist of the Petersburg group Atlantida Project Sasha Sokolova, who had fought with cancer in the terminal stage, died. A joint song with Noize MC “Jordan” has become one of its last records.
13. Guard of the year
Alexander Sklyar - "And then Berlin"
“Thank you for everything you sent. Thanks for the embargo and for the Crimea. Now, as Comrade Stalin said, we take Manhattan, and then Berlin, ”Alexander Sklyar makes a loyal deflection, showing remarkable diplomatic talent and a complete lack of taste in the dull turning of the Leonard Cohen song. “He came, inherited, ruined a good thing” - as Sherlock Holmes said performed by Vasily Livanov.
