Week 21’s music charts reflect a dynamic period, marked by both surprising new entries and established artists who haven’t quite found their footing. This report summarizes the latest trends in Italian music, based on data from major streaming platforms.
Top Tracks of the Week
this week saw the resurgence of olly, the Sanremo 2025 winner with “Blaorda Nostalgia.” His new song, “Depressed Fortunato,” made a strong debut in the top 10. Released just before his club tour concluded, the track combines guitar melodies with an intimate and sincere narrative.
Fabri Fibra also made a notable return with “What a taste is there,” a sharp commentary featuring Trentaini Pietro on contemporary Italian society, addressing social anxieties and the perspectives of younger generations.This song is the first release from his upcoming album, “while Los Angeles burns,” set to launch on June 20.
alfa continues to climb the charts, boosted by his collaboration with Manu Chao on “I like me.”
Other rising singles include “Barrio Lambada” by Fred De Palma, solidifying its status as a summer hit with international appeal. Gabry Ponte is also making another attempt with “Brokenhearted,” a collaborative effort across continents with the train.
“Depressed Fortunato” enters the top 10 directly with an intimate story that unites guitar, melancholy and sincerity.
Flops of the Week
Sarah toscano’s new single “Taki” has been a disappointment. Despite her victory on Amici and exposure from Sanremo, the song has struggled to break into the Top 10 or establish itself as a standout release.
Similarly, coma_cose’s “La jealosia” has not made a notable impact, even with its engaging music video and targeted promotional efforts. BNKR44’s “Luna Rossa” has also gone largely unnoticed.
Additionally, “is only a moment” by the Zen Circus, marking their return, caters to a more niche audience and hasn’t achieved widespread popularity, staying true to their self-reliant aesthetic.
