In Latvia, the airwaves are heavily dominated by Russian-language music, with 8 out of the top 10 artists being from Russia. This strong preference for Russian artists is a notable trend in Latvia's music scene.
Estonia presents a more international mix, with only 25% of the artists in the Top 100 being Russian-speaking. Leading figures among these include Lyusya Chebotina, Mari Kraimbrery, and Vanya Dmitrienko. Interestingly, in Estonia's Top 20, Russian artists are notably absent, indicating a broader diversity in musical preferences.
Lithuania displays an even split in its musical tastes: the top 5 spots in the annual chart are occupied by international stars, while the latter half features Russian artists. In the Top 100, the proportion of Russian-speaking artists decreases to 40%. Furthermore, Ukrainian-speaking artists have a significant presence in Lithuanian airwaves compared to the other Baltic states. Notable Ukrainian artists featured include Monatik, Vremya i Steklo, Max Barskih, Loboda, Alekseev, and Dorofeeva.
