Russian World Music Chart 2024
Making Russian folk music visible for the world
In October 2021, Russia’s first world music chart, the Russian World Music Chart (RWMC), was launched. The purpose of RWMC is to attract the attention of the world music community to the novelties of folk music of multinational Russia, as well as popularization and assistance in promoting unique musicians from remote corners of Russia in the Russian Federation and abroad.
In total, in 2024 67 albums in the genre of world, ethnic and folk music, published in the end of 2023 (December) and 2024, participate in the chart from 24 labels and self-released releases.
The international jury, which includes 21 representatives from Japan, Turkey, Norway, the USA, Hungary, Slovakia, Germany, Serbia, Spain, Italy, the Czech Republic and Russia, selected and announced the 20 best albums by the end of the year.
