films and music that captured the hearts of Belarusians

The April film rating in Belarus was topped by the final part of the music and sports trilogy “Ice.” On the second line is the military drama “Air” about young female pilots from Alexei German Jr. The crime comedy about the difficult fate of a restaurateur in Russia “Welcome to the Family: A Cook from Naples” completes the trio.

Almost all the films in the top are hits in Belarusian cinemas this and last year.

The headliner of the April playlists of Belarusians was the TikTok star Ivan Minaev, performing under the name XOLIDAYBOY. ANNA ASTI continues to win our hearts with her songs; she is in the top of Yandex Music twice – both as a solo performer and as an ex-vocalist of “Artik & Asti”. Hip-hop artist MACAN has also firmly established himself among the top three idols. There are also surprises in the top 10, for example, the group “The King and the Clown” was among the favorite performers of Belarusians. The musicians stayed on playlists in the wake of the popularity of the series of the same name.
