I add:
They do, however, play that Black-Eyed Peas song "My Hump," possibly the stupidest song ever written, endlessly.
John Cale played Moscow the other day. I didn't go, sadly.
According to the MTV Russia website (http://www.mtv.ru/air/charts/rutop10/main.wbp), the current Russian Top 10 is:
Tatu Friend or Foe Dmitrii Bilan Ya tebya lyublyu Gorod 312 Ostanyus' Zveri Do skoro vstrechi Yulia Savicheva Esli v serdste zhivet lyubov Sergei Lazarev Lost without your love Serego Vozle doma tvoego Vlad Topalov Kak zhe tak mozhet byt Dinamit Do vesny Igra Slov Alina Kabaeva
Nu, zayats, pogodi!
