The next tier of stations begins with Chanson, which secured 7% of listeners. This station’s audience is expected to grow as the XXII annual Chanson of the Year awards are set to take place, marking a milestone for the genre.

The event is scheduled for April 16, 2022, at the Kremlin State Palace and serves as a year-end recap for the music that defined the period. The jury, known for its strict standards, recognizes artists whose songs dominated the Chanson chart and resonated with listeners across the country.

“The Chanson of the Year Award stands as a major cultural moment in our country’s life. It is a celebration of songs that touch people deeply and endure over time”, comments Mikhail Shufutinsky about the ceremony.

During the ceremony, as the legendary golden guitar neck is presented, the hall audience and listeners of Chanson will hear familiar hits performed with emotion and a sense of shared experience that makes them timeless.

For the artist, the Chanson of the Year award marks the culmination of a year’s effort. “Holding an award from the listeners and the radio that started it all represents the sum of everything I’ve produced over the year. It’s not easy to earn this accolade, but that challenge is part of its appeal”, notes Stas Mikhaylov.
