Dima Bilan's latest single Невозможное-возможно (Impossible-Possible) looks to be turning into a smash hit, as sales and order figures go sky high in the first few weeks of release.

According to Dima's website and the Russian chart site топ-хит (Top Hit), Dima tops the sales chart this week, with 73,150 units shifted within just over a month. Shortly, a new video for the song will appear on TV sets all over Russia, and this is expected to boost sales even further as Dima-frenzy takes its hold on the nation, especially its younger musical fans.

Dedicated fan base
The young Russian singer continues to build a loyal and dedicated fan base across Russia after his celebrated second place for the country at this year's Eurovision Song Contest in Athens. Scenes like those in St Petersburg this week are becoming commonplace, with members of Dima's fan club presenting the star with often quite elaborate gifts during his many concert tours.

Fans eager to catch Dima live can see him in Kyiv, Ukraine, this evening, or Vilnius, Lithuania this Saturday.
