WILL RUSSIAN ROCKERS KNOCK N-SYNC OFF CHARTS?
BURBANK, Calif. (Wireless Flash) Will a Russian boy band thats sort of a Bolshevik Backstreet Boys make it big in the U.S.? Dick Clark hopes so. The American Bandstand host has just signed a Russian dance-pop boy band called Na-Na in the hopes that American teens will warm up to the Russian beat. Na-Na has been big in Russia for nearly 10 years, selling nearly 60 million records in the process and former members of the so-called Moscow Menudo include Evan Farmer from the MTV sitcom, 2Gether. Although Na-Nas first American release will be English-language pop, a company spokesman says anyone who hears the band will be able to tell theyre Russian.
