Pink Angels

**Pink Angels**, formerly **5Angels**, is a girl pop group from Czech Republic with emphasis on dance routines. The group consists of five girls between the ages 15–17 and they have released five albums.

5Angels was formed in December 2007 by one of the girls' father Michal Mertl. The members were chosen among students of dance studio AT Studio Domino in Prague in a competition. The original members were Kristýna, Niki, Týna, Nikola and Tereza. Tereza left the group in Spring 2008, and was replaced by Diana. A more radical change in the group happened in August 2009 when Kristýna, Niki and Týna (all but the founder's daughter Nikola) left. Their departure was shrouded with hostile atmosphere, and there was information that that was the end of the band. In October Kristýna, Niki and Týna formed their own group, Diamond Cats together with a fourth member, Hana, but 5angels also continued with Nikola and four newly recruited members: Angelina, Míša, Tereza and Vendy. Míša was replaced by Veronika in June 2013 and Vendy was replaced by Naty in April 2015.

The girls in the group have background in competitive dance or gymnastics in which many have national level achievements. Some have previous experience acting on TV or in commercials.

The original team performed on numerous television shows in Czech republic and Slovakia and on live stages. Some of the important public shows were Czech X-Factor final show in 2008, and a concert in the Lucerna in Prague. Each of the girls earn more than their parents.

The music has been produced by producer and composer Stano Šimor.

In September 2013, 5Angels were special guests on CBBC show *Blue Peter* where they performed their new song "World Domination". They supported boyband Union J on their 2013/14 winter tour. They are signed and managed in the UK by record producer Denis Ingoldsby of Amber Entertainment, who has previously worked with Girls Aloud, Blazin' Squad and Eternal. They are now becoming popular in many countries across Europe.

Serebro

**Serebro** (Серебро; English translation: Silver) (Stylized as **SEREBRO**) is a Russian girl group formed by their manager and producer Maxim Fadeev. The group currently consists of members Olga Seryabkina, Polina Favorskaya and Katya Kischuk. Serebro was formed in 2007 as a submitted proposal for consideration by Channel One Russia for the Eurovision Song Contest 2007. Serebro was selected to represent Russia at the 2007 Contest with the song titled "Song #1". They subsequently placed third at the contest, scoring a total of 207 points. Serebro was then officially signed to Fadeev's record label Monolit Records, and in 2012, the group had additional releases produced by Sony Music Entertainment and Ego Music. During 2009, member Marina Lizorkina announced her departure from the group; she was subsequently replaced by Anastasia Karpova. Karpova left the group in 2013 and was replaced by Dasha Shashina, who left in 2016.

With Lizorkina at the time, the band recorded their debut studio album *OpiumRoz*. The album received critical acclaim and spawned other singles in addition to "Song #1", but it never became a commercial success. The band's second album, called *Mama Lover*, proved to be much more successful. It included the massive hit of the same name and went double platinum in Russia. The eponymous "Mama Lover" hit single received media attention worldwide, with reviewers commenting on both the raunchy music video and the song itself. The music video for the song received more than 20 million views on YouTube and became the subject of more than 250 parodies. After the success of "Mama Lover", the group began to garner commercial attention around the world. The group re-released *Mama Lover* in Japan (under the name *Serebration*) after signing a contract with EMI Music. Their first international single under Ego Music and Universal Music Group, "Mi Mi Mi", became a success on European music charts.

After their musical and image development, the group became known for a very sexually charged and over the top style. Some of their music videos have led to controversy in the media, including "Mama Lover" and "Mi Mi Mi".

Moscow is a major political, economic, cultural, and scientific center of Russia and Eastern Europe, as well as the largest city entirely on the European continent. By broader definitions Moscow is among the world's largest cities, being the 14th largest metro area, the 18th largest agglomeration, the 15th largest urban area, and the 11th largest by population within city limits worldwide. According to Forbes 2013, Moscow has been ranked as the ninth most expensive city in the world by Mercer and has one of the world's largest urban economies, being ranked as an alpha global city according to the Globalization and World Cities Research Network, and is also one of the fastest growing tourist destinations in the world according to the MasterCard Global Destination Cities Index. Moscow is the northernmost and coldest megacity and metropolis on Earth. It is home to the Ostankino Tower, the tallest free standing structure in Europe; the Federation Tower, the tallest skyscraper in Europe; and the Moscow International Business Center.
