Ákos is the one who can be half-way called an artist: he started out with a Hungarian copy of Depeche Mode, then went solo and went in commercialised-mystic directions. But I don't think highly of his voice especially.

Kati Kovács is an oldie, she's a singer from the sixties.

Michelle Wild is a Hungarian porn star.

The rest are either imports or test tube babies (& boys) of the worst variety; they are trying to appear like Western test tube babies of the music industry.

So nothing much play-able here. I note that the numbers singles can be sold reduced drastically, to a level at which producers can easily manipulate charts... and I do suspect that whatever my low opinion of present-day Budapest &environs mainstream youth musical taste (techno-dance-talent show pop and a bit of hip-hop), these charts don't even reflect that.

Sorry for not translating the column headers - it's a record label.

No; the full name is Private Moon Records (in apparent New Hungarian). It was founded by one of these neo-pop clones, late nineties sortiment, who actually had a recognizable voice.

I thought long what to compensate the above with, but my prime candidate is very much language-based. The busic of hip-hop band Bëlga is nothing special, but their lyrics are kick-ass. Here is the only song where some of the band's attitude comes across even if you don't speak Hungarian - which also happens one of their only two political songs, being a brutal spoof on the far-right. (Their normal work usually tries the outer reaches of what doesn't pass the print - or it is modernised tales for children, rather strange combination aint' it.)

Bëlga: Magyar Nemzeti Hip-Hop-ot! ( = let there be Hungarian national hip-hop!) (05:12):
