[edit] History
[edit] Eurovision (2007)
In late March of 2007, the jury commission of Russian national TV channel — Channel One were choosing Russia's representatives for the Eurovision Song Contest 2007. To everyone's surprise, the commission choose a fully unknown band named Serebro, which managed to overcome some famous native artists.
In the Eurovision Song Contest 2006, Dima Bilan with his song Never Let You Go reached the second place which automatically allowed Serebro to perform in the 2007 final.

On the 12th of May, Serebro performed as number 15 in the final. They got 12 points from Armenia, Belarus, and Estonia and 10 points from Ukraine. The winner, Serbia, gave them 7 points. Serebro received third place at the Eurovision Song Contest 2007, with a total of 207 points. Serebro later said: "We are happy because of our third place. But, the most important thing is that we weren't there because of ourselves, it was for our fans, Russia and Russian people".
The performance in Helsinki became their first official release and first concert for an audience.
[edit] After Eurovision period (2007-2008)
After the success at Eurovision Song Contest 2007 in Helsinki, Serebro rapidly became one of the most popular bands in Russia.
During the summer-winter time the group visited various concerts and events in Russia, Kazakhstan, Turkey, Poland, Uzbekistan, and Belarus.
In mid July their second song, "Дыши (Dyshi), which is also titled "Song #2", was released. It became as popular as "Song#1" and climbed up to the top of the chart. Later in October, a video for "Дыши" was released.
Now the group is continuing their work on their first album, which is expected to be published in the spring of 2008.
[edit] Music
[edit] Singles
All band singles, without their real titles, will be named: Song#1, #2, #3, etc. As the group and their management have stated, so it will be easier to recall their songs.
Soon after the Eurovision contest, Serebro released "Song #1" as a single CD, which contained 13 different versions of "Song #1 marked by colours, as well as an extended version of the video. The girls then released a Russian version of "Song #1", called "Песня #1" ("Pesnya #1"). It was Serebro's first Russian single. This song has two versions — original and censored. Their debut album will also feature their second single, "Дыши ((Dyshi) Breathe in English) or "Song #2". They also have a song called "What's Your Problem?". You can download these songs at the band's website: serebro.su The band has stated that there will be songs in both Russian and English.
At the RMA awards in early October, Serebro performed a new song titled "What's Your Problem?", which is still unconfirmed as an official single and the song number of it is still unknown.
In late February/March Serebro performed Журавли ((Zhuravli) Cranes in English) on Звэзда ((Zvezda) Star in English) a popular television programme in Russia. This song is similar to that of Дыши and is much softer in tone than Song #1 and What's Your Problem? The show featured artists singing patriotic songs. Журавли is one of the most famous Russian songs coming out of World War II. Originally written as a poem by Rasul Gamzatov and later became a very well known song. Cranes have become associated with dead soldiers, because of this a big part of WWII memorials in the former Soviet Union feature the image of flying cranes.
On the 13th May 2008 Serebro announced on their official website that will be releasing their third (official) single called 'Опиум' (Opium in English). The site says that the song will premiere on a Russian morning radio show 'BrigadaU' on Europa Plus radio and that until March 17th Europa Plus will hold exclusive rights to play the song. 'Опиум' is the third official single making it Song #3 as opposed to 'What's Your Problem?' which was only preformed, not released.
The song Опиум is available to download for free (as are other serebro songs) on the official Serebro website.
[edit] Awards
Serebro was nominated in four categories at the MTV RMA 2007 awards: 'Best pop-project', 'Best Debut', 'Best Song' and 'Best video'. The voting results on the internet allowed them to win the award for 'Best Debut'.
On December 2007, Serebro won another award at the "Golden Gramophone" awards, a big music award ceremony organized by the biggest radio broadcaster in CIS - Russian Radio.
Serebro also won a World Music Award in 2007 for the best selling Russian artist. Unlike previous eastern European winners of a World Music Award (e.g. Ruslana from Ukraine in 2004 and Dima Bilan for Russia in 2006), Serebro did not perform at the event.
