Delete ~~Russia doesn't seem to have an official singles chart, so I don't know how this would pass WP:MUSIC #2.~~ Nothing else gets them past WP:MUSIC either. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • ^{(Many otters • One bat • One hammer)} 01:48, 12 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Well, there's the Russian Airplay Chart and the Russian Digital Singles Chart; do they count? ~~Bigtop~~ みんな空の下 (トーク) 02:12, 12 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  - Either way, just saying "they had a song that was a hit" isn't enough. It could've been a "hit" in the land of weasel-words even if it didn't touch the charts. (ETA: Russian Airplay Chart looks fishy so I AFD'ed it.) Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • ^{(Many otters • One bat • One hammer)} 15:59, 13 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Although the BBC article shows that it has "has made the play lists of leading radio stations in Russia", it can't have been a hit - the single was not available for sale according to the same article. -- PhantomSteve/talk|contribs\ 08:04, 19 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
