Although the words were written by Princess Raisa Kudasheva back in 1903, and they were set to music by Leonid Bekman two years later, the song is still considered a folk song.

The ballet has long been disassembled into musical fragments, because it is like a good mosaic - masterpiece in its parts and harmonious as a whole. The most New Year's fragment is the dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy. The music is as airy as the fairy herself.
The happiest one is “Happy New Year!” "ABBA"

But to this day, on the eve of the winter holidays, they like to play it on radio stations. ABBA – Happy New Year Initially, ABBA planned to record a humorous New Year's song, which even received the working title “Daddy Don’t Get Drunk on Christmas Day.” However, the plan was not destined to come true, so the musicians redid the text, making it more lyrical and even sad. Of course, the song expresses uncertainty about the future, but many people love to listen to this touching track on New Year’s Eve.

But back in 1982, when the Soviet film was first shown on television, no one could have thought that the New Year’s hit would not be performed by the actress who plays Nina, Anna Ashimova. Instead of the young actress, the song was sung by 27-year-old Larisa Dolina, and so well that her voice is very difficult to recognize. Mariah Carey - All I Want For Christmas Is You As legend has it, Mariah Carey was inspired to write the song by her own romantic feelings for her husband Tommy Mottola.

And in Great Britain it is considered a real Christmas anthem. Frank Sinatra and Bing Crosby - Jingle Bells Perhaps, Jingle Bells is considered one of the most popular Christmas and New Year songs.

Sergey Nikitin - There will be no one in the house The film “The Irony of Fate, or Enjoy Your Bath!” itself is considered the hallmark of the New Year, and the songs performed by the artists in it, even more so. Thanks to the film, during the Soviet era, viewers became acquainted with the poems of Boris Pasternak. Just remember the song that Zhenya Lukashin sang to his bride Gala. Lyudmila Gurchenko – Five minutes The composition from the movie “Carnival Night” gained national love back in the 50-60s of the last century, but this song is still associated with the main holiday of the country. Brilliant – New Year's song Although this song did not become the anthem of the New Year, the optimistic and cheerful hit is guaranteed to create a festive mood.
