    Depends on the style and decade you're interested in. Folk songs, popular songs of 70s and rap-style of today are absolutely different

    If you meant "most popular songs of all times", some of these may meet your demands:
    Алла Пугачева ("Арлекино", "Миллион алых роз", "Паромщик"),
    Филипп Киркоров ("Зайка моя", "Я за тебя умру", "Роза чайная"),
    Дима Билан ("Believe", "Как хотел я", "На берегу неба"),
    Алсу ("Solo", "Иногда", "Зимний сон"),
    группа Ласковый Май ("Белые розы", "Лето"),
    группа Кино/Виктор Цой ("Пачка сигарет", "Звезда по имени Солнце", "Группа крови"),
    Михаил Круг ("Владимирский централ")
    группа ДДТ ("Просвистела", "В последнюю осень")
    Александр Розенбаум ("Вальс-бостон", "Казачья")
    Тату ("Я сошла с ума", "Нам не догонят")
    Юрий Никулин ("А нам все равно") (he's actually not a singer, the song was sang in one extremely popular soviet comedy, I doubt there's a person who does NOT know this song!)
    folk songs: "Ой, мороз, мороз..", "Шумел камыш...", "Песня коробейника"
    группа Браво ("Как жаль, что ты сегодня не со мной...", "45 минут под землей")
    группа Руки вверх ("Крошка моя", "Ты целуй меня везде")
    группа Zемфира ("Хочешь", "Прости меня моя любовь")
    группа Отпетые мошенники ("Всяко-разно", "Девушки бывают разные")
    Александра Пахмутова ("Надежда", "Главное, ребята, сердцем не стареть", "Беловежская пуща") - she's a composer and writer, sometimes she sings her own songs, but most of the times these songs are sung be various artist.
    Богдан Титомир (группа Кармен) ("Делай, как я", "Прощай, Лондон")

    If you say what style or time you're interested in - I may try to remember something in particular.
    The songs listed above actually are not my favourites and I do not want to say that these are "the best of the best", so if someone dislikes them - I'm not going to argue. These are the ones I remembered and which are included in radio playlists most often.

    I can offer just a few contemporary singers/groups that I've heard:

    Юлия Савичева (Yulia Savicheva): Euro/Rus-pop
    Пропаганда (Propaganda): Euro/Rus-pop, Dance, Teen-pop
    Reflex (usually written in Roman letters, sometimes Рефлекс): Euro/Rus-pop, Dance, Other ... to me they generally sound bubble-gummish, but they also have some "chill-out" and other stuff that I like, for instance:
    Я Тебя Всегда Буду Ждать (I will always wait for you)
    Арабская дорога
    (find the "mp3" play button on the right of the song title)
    ... also "Acka Raga"

    And some Ukrainian singers/groups who usually (or often or sometimes) sing in Russian:

    Светлана Лобода (Svetlana Loboda): Rus-pop, maybe a little like Тату
    Виа Гра (Via Gra): Euro/Rus/Dance-pop ... I seriously like these songs:
    Ne Nado
    Обмани, но останься
    Ани Лорак (Ani Lorak): she's maybe more ... mature? stylish? old-fashioned? But she also sings in Ukrainian quite often.
    Гайтана (Gajtana, Gaitana): Rock-pop, "new" R&B ...I think she sings mostly in Ukrainian
    София Ротару (Sofiya Rotaru): Labeled as "Rus-pop" but definitely more traditonal ... born in 1947 ... also sings in 5 or 6 different languages. Personally, I love this lady's music:
    Он Меня Не Нашёл
    Белый Танец
    Белая Зима (with lyrics)

    You might also want to browse this website for other ideas ... it's very searchable and it's got musicians from about a hundred different countries, and there are usually 30-second song samples available:

    WhiteRacoon and others can probably help more than me. But eventually, if my friend from Siberia ever comes back from a loooong summer vacation, maybe she can offer something on techno/dance/contemporary. If I get anything I'll post it.

    Meanwhile:

    Folk? ...maybe something like "Kalinka"? First a little warm-up, lovely ladies from Hungary on violin:

    And with Russian vocals:

    Other folk:

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pp57X...eature=related
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MoaXo...eature=related
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QsUrr...eature=related

    Techno: maybe like one of these?

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1pc6B...eature=related
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KeDXhdRwX4k

    Are any of these examples close to your taste?

    Folk songs... there are some artists who perform in folk style, like the group "Золотое Кольцо" and their leader Надежда Кадышева.

    A group Дюна - it's not a folk band, but the lyrics are always very connected to people (mostly to workers and middle-class), they are like a band from the local neighbourhood, sometimes the songs are very funny: "Коммунальная квартира", "Страна Лимония", "Если б было море пива.."

    Some more pop/contemporary:
    MakSim ("Нежность", "Сон", "Знаешь ли ты"),
    Hi-Fi ("Беспризорник", "А мы любили (Средняя школа №7)"),
    Иванушки-International (boys' band which was EXTREMELY popular in 90's; "Тучи", "Тополиный пух", "Кукла Маша")
    На-На (another boys' band, which started earlier than Иванушки; "Фаина", "Шляпа", "На-на над землей")
    Блестящие (girls' band) ("За четыре моря", "Апельсиновый рай", "Облака")
    Smash!!! (two guys, who sang in english: "Belle", "Should have loved you more", "Freeway")
    Фабрика (girls' band; "Про любовь", "Девушки фабричные", "Рыбка")
    Гости из будущего ("Люби меня по-французски", "Это сильнее меня", "Ты где-то")
    Корни ("Плакала береза", "Ты узнаешь ее", "Моя любовь живет на 25 этаже")
    Премьер министр ("Два бриллианта", "Атомное чувство любовь", "Девочка с севера")

    Well, one of my favorites is Космос
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ywqbrsGOm8

    I think that's an awesome song, especially when I listen on a really good pair of headphones. And they speak the lyrics clearly, so I can understand them

    wat did you mean by "И также эта очень приятно мне"?
    если есть ЭТО, значит должно быть ПРИЯТНО, а если ЭТА, значит будет ПРИЯТНА(-я)
    а вообще, незачто, всегда готова что-нибудь ляпнуть про музыку

    Vuoklis, what it means is that I still don't understand the Russian language very well ... I'll study more and try to do better

    PS, thank you so much!

    I know the OP is a few months old, but... nobody mentioned Света?! If you're looking for dance/techno, Света is amazing.

    Ты не мой
    Что же ты

    I think the best Света songs aren't on YouTube... the originals, anyway. Songs like По шоссе, Что мне делать, А как же любовь...

    And I'm surprised nobody mentioned Оскар. He freaks me out a bit, but I like his music.
