Some great names, I'm SO excited for Franecesca and Annalisa plus Maneskin and Arisa should be great too! Mahmood has written Francesca's song too!!

Posted by: LexC 19th December 2020, 03:40 PM

Noemi's is also a Mahmood cowrite I believe as well?

It's taking place in March about a month later than usual and the organisers have basically said that it's happening with a full in person audience no matter what happens so this should be a fun hot mess as always!

Posted by: Liаm 2nd March 2021, 06:37 PM

This is tonight, usually I dip in and out but I'm on an open at work, as always this will be a drawn out self-indulgent mess that you have to stan for its audacity to last so long

It'll be interesting to hear the songs as you can't really look at big names and predict they'll do well, they often can bomb! bookies have Francesca and Fedez but I will NOT get my hopes up as Sanremo always lets me down, but I usually end up raging my fave didn't win (see Il mondo prima di te and Andromeda) but then loving the winner anyway, Fai rumore actually went on to contend for my 2020 winner! Colapesce and DiMartino are favourites too but I have absolutely no idea who they are.

Posted by: Liаm 2nd March 2021, 10:11 PM

Fedez's autotune is SENDING me, really like the song but that's offputting.

Posted by: Liаm 5th March 2021, 11:59 AM

It's looking like history will repeat itself and Annalisa will lose to Ermal Meta again like 2018 I did like Non mi avete fatto niente in the end but this song is way more boring.


To that I say - "no "

Posted by: Liаm 6th March 2021, 08:49 PM

Final tonight, gonna try and stay up for it but with how long it is I'm not sure as I'm knackered


As we saw with Mahmood, odds can mean absolutely nothing in Sanremo but it looks like Ermal's to lose with Annalisa also strong and Willie Peyote has really shot up to be a contender too. I'll be happy with Annalisa, Maneskin or Francesca/Fedez, I think either of the former two would be my #1 at this stage.

Posted by: Colm 6th March 2021, 11:24 PM

When is this over? It's been going on for ages and I don't speak Italian.

Posted by: Liаm 6th March 2021, 11:27 PM

I don't expect it before 1am It's a huge Italian institution so is so much more than a Eurovision selection but when you're a Eurovision fan (or that and a fan of Italian music like me) following it does get frustrating!!

Iirc last time it was about 1am, then the year before about 12:30 so maybe that if we're lucky!!

I'm thinking Colapesce & DiMartino will take it if not Ermal but I'm loving Maneskin more and more with more listens, still here for queen Annalisa to finally her win though D:

Posted by: Colm 6th March 2021, 11:34 PM

Thanks Liam. Me and my mates are watching and we don't know what's going. 😁

Posted by: Liаm 6th March 2021, 11:46 PM

There's 8 songs to go omg and then also the superfinal, I think I saw the schedule says it'll be done 1am our time but I'm gonna guess 2 maybe even 3 at this rate

EDIT: it's also been confirmed that anyone who wins has said they will go to Eurovision so there's either no stress waiting for that confirmation, or no hope that who you want could come 2nd or 3rd and still go to Eurovision

Posted by: Liаm 7th March 2021, 01:10 AM

Maneskin, Fedez/Francesca and Ermal in the superfinal, I think Ermal will have it but with how popular Fedez/Francesca seems to be (#1 on Spotify and iTunes) plus how great Maneskin were, I feel like it could be either!! Ermal is the most traditionally Sanremo, but that didn't stop Mahmood so fingers crossed for Maneskin or Francesca *.*

Posted by: Liаm 7th March 2021, 01:32 AM

MANESKIN WON YAAASSSS!!!

This feels HUGE for a song like this to win Sanremo omg, don't expect it to be a fave on here though

Posted by: LexC 7th March 2021, 01:43 AM

Yaknow what, I am INTO this! Really like their whole genderfluid aesthetic as well.

Posted by: Liаm 7th March 2021, 01:48 AM

I actually think this will do very well, I could see it top 10 tbh on the strength of their performance, their aesthetic standing out, and it being a good song that's very different to what else we will get. Ofc we have Dark Side but that's a different facet of rock.

Posted by: Iz 💀 7th March 2021, 04:06 AM

This will obviously be a moment on stage and it sounds so relistenable, what a swerve from Italy.

Posted by: Colm 7th March 2021, 10:39 AM

So, this is the Italian Arctic Monkeys. Not visually but the intro and the way he sings reminds me of them.

Posted by: uhsting 7th March 2021, 11:37 AM

I have Maneskin charted on my chart previously and I really like their style. I haven't listened to all Sanremo songs yet but I'm happy Maneskin gets to represent Italy just like Mahmood!

Posted by: Jason 17th April 2021, 07:51 PM

This is so good to be on Page 2. Top 5 definitely. .

Posted by: rafik4u 17th April 2021, 10:11 PM

Still my #1 favourite this year.

Posted by: Jαsє 14th May 2021, 08:32 PM

Put 20 quid on them to win!

Posted by: Jason 15th May 2021, 01:17 AM

I'd have put 1,000 pounds.

Posted by: Liаm 18th May 2021, 11:30 PM

Posted by: Iz 💀 19th May 2021, 07:19 AM

Yeah, if only on what sounds like a polished performance and it being the sort of rock that tends to get much better reviews from critics than its direct competition Finland (who have been doing better on that front than I'd expect).

Juries propped up Georgia 2016, they're not necessarily anti-rock.

Posted by: Jade 20th May 2021, 11:27 AM

This was recommended to me so I decided to check it out and I'm stanning both the song and the aesthetic *.*

Posted by: WhoOdyssey 24th May 2021, 05:10 PM

#12 on Spotify UK today!

Posted by: Liаm 24th May 2021, 05:15 PM

AMAZING, so happy for them! Been a fan for a while and it's so great to see them not just win Eurovision but have their music appreciated properly.

Posted by: Jade 24th May 2021, 05:23 PM

I am laminating my stan card as we speak

Thrilled about the Spotify placement

Posted by: gooddelta 25th May 2021, 11:22 AM

This has grown on me a lot, the performance completely sold it. Their EP is really strong, shades of Arctic Monkeys in places, but slightly harder than that, with echoes of Rage Against The Machine.

Hopefully Zitti e buoni goes properly viral on TikTok to give it some staying power beyond one day on Spotify, it's completely relevant and fresh and deserves to be a proper hit and not just a one week peak at No.44 or whatever.

Posted by: Iz 💀 25th May 2021, 11:23 AM

Their other work is so strong, I'm obsessed with them right now. <3

Very pleased to see 'Zitti E Buoni' riding high on Spotify at least for the moment.

Posted by: Jade 25th May 2021, 11:35 AM

Yeah I can’t remember the last time I instantly fell so hard for an artist I’ve made my way through everything now and agree with the Rage Against The Machine and Arctic Monkeys comparisons, also Royal Blood!

Even their X Factor Italia performances from 2017 are an exciting watch would also recommend their collab with Francesca Michielin <3

Rooting so hard for ‘Zitti E Buoni’ to make the official top 40 🙏

Posted by: Liаm 25th May 2021, 11:38 AM

They were ROBBED so hard in X Factor, the way they were like 16-17 at the time!!

Coraline is the one.

Posted by: Jade 26th May 2021, 02:12 PM

Not been listening to much else this week LOL so here's a rough top 10, subject to change:

01. ZITTI E BUONI
02. I WANNA BE YOUR SLAVE
03. STATO DI NATURA w/ Francesca Michielin
04. VENT'ANNI
05. FOR YOUR LOVE
06. Torna a casa
07. Morirò da re
08. CORALINE
09. New Song
10. LIVIDI SUI GOMITI

Fave X Factor cover - 'Kiss This' originally by The Struts x

'ZITTI E BUONI' only fell 2 spots on U.K. Spotify today to #15 and 'I WANNA BE YOUR SLAVE' is up to #52 - they're killing it <3 so hyped to hear the former on the chart show now that's pretty much locked in *.*

They're blowing up so fast, I watched this performance at the start of the week at 600k views and now it has 2.6 million !

Posted by: Jade 26th May 2021, 04:30 PM

They’ve now risen to #25 in the mids this feels so surreal *.*

‘I WANNA BE YOUR SLAVE’ is currently top 30 on Spotify when factoring in ACR and 3 track rule, plus top 40 on iTunes and rising on Apple, I wonder how that will also end up doing 🤔

Posted by: Bjork 26th May 2021, 07:23 PM

Really happy to see it have chart success, if the momentum continues I wonder could they manage top 20?

Posted by: Liаm 27th May 2021, 12:30 AM

They have done really well, 2 top 100 singles and a top 75 album, it just shows Eurovision still has plenty of steam in its engine.

Posted by: Jade 31st May 2021, 12:32 PM

They’re dropping merch and the promo video seems to have an unreleased song in it:

Posted by: Jade 1st June 2021, 01:22 PM

'I WANNA BE YOUR SLAVE' is #29 in the mids (on top of 'ZITTI E BUONI' at #24) - coming for that second U.K. top 40 single!

Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 1st June 2021, 02:50 PM

I hope they get a 2nd top 40 and hold on, their album is also at 58. When was the last eurovision winner to get 2 top 40 hits?

Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 4th June 2021, 02:12 PM

ZITTI E BUONI climbs 2 places to number 12 here in Ireland this week and I wanna be your slave also climbs 35 places to number 16, they also have a new entry at number 96 with CORALINE, while in the album chart TEATRO D'IRA - VOL I is number 29.

Posted by: Jade 4th June 2021, 03:42 PM

That’s great to hear! We had a Måneskin back-to-back today in the U.K. chart with ZITTI E BUONI #25 and I WANNA BE YOUR SLAVE #24 - their success has been astounding! Here’s to ‘Slave’ going top 20 next week.

Their latest album has climbed to #49 also

(Also there was a discussion about Eurovision winners who have two+ top 40 hits in the latest Friday Chart Predictions thread, as I asked the same question, last one was Katrina and the Waves in 1997 but even then the other hits were pre-Eurovision!)

The Eurovision performance sold Zitti E Buoni to me - the charisma and star quality was off the scale.

But I found I Wanna Be Your Slave incredibly instant from the first listen of the studio version and I can see why it’s looking to become a decent sized hit. It’s just so immediate and in your face, in a good way.

Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 8th June 2021, 01:37 PM

I am enjoying how they have embraced Eurovision and are also so thankful for the win, Zitti E Buoni has grown on me, i preferred other songs during Eurovision but this has grown on me alot and i really like I Wanna Be Your Slave and i agree its alot more instant than zitti.

Posted by: Jade 9th June 2021, 06:56 AM

Interesting, for me it was actually the opposite! I first heard the studio version of ‘ZITTI E BUONI’ a few days before the final and fell in love straight away (with the charismatic performance then adding to the charm, of course) - I think I fell head first for their Italian stuff and it took me a few listens to feel the magic from the English material too. But the wiwibloggs performance helped SLAVE click for me and now I’m obsessed with both

SLAVE has now matched the U.K. Spotify peak of ZITTI at #12 - smash!

Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 9th June 2021, 07:05 PM

Coraline is really growing on the last few days.

Posted by: Quarantilas 9th June 2021, 07:12 PM

I Wanna Be Your Slave. Oh my. Another absolute smash

Posted by: Jade 10th June 2021, 09:15 AM

Good to see all the love on here 'CORALINE' was a big grower for me too once I understood the lyrics <3 I'm so pleased that 'I WANNA BE YOUR SLAVE' has taken off in the way that it has. It was up to #20 in the mids yesterday so looks like a second top 20 for them is already in the bag. Single status and a music video hopefully beckons.

This is my new favourite cover of theirs:



Wowww 🔥🔥 although the camera person needs to chill in places

Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 10th June 2021, 03:37 PM

Hopefully down the road they can get to the UK and promote when they release another single and build on their success so far. There is potential for them to really build their UK success as at the moment everything has come purely from Eurovision. Their success as we have said can show the UK for example that Eurovision can really open doors to success and its not a naff competition like many perceive.

Posted by: Tombo 11th June 2021, 04:08 PM

The Common Linnets got to #9 in 2014 but I think they will outdo that - so maybe coming for the highest Eurovision-adjacent chart placement since Loreen in 2012?

(well, minus Flo Rida I suppose but yeah since the artist was actually in the competition)

Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 14th June 2021, 04:39 PM

Common Linnets did well but it was a one off success, i always like to see Eurovision songs getting some success so hats off to them, Maneskin having a top 20 Eurovision winner though and hopefully a follow up top 10 is great to see, i remember been delighted Emelie de Forest having 2 top 75s which i thought was brilliant so Maneskin really going to a whole new level plus a top 40 album to go with it.

Posted by: Jade 15th June 2021, 11:19 AM

Yeah their buzz right now is insane! Even their cover of 'Beggin' is up 15 places on U.K. Spotify today to #24 pesky ACR with it being from 2017

I've been forced at gunpoint by Jade to checked out some more of their discography now and, on top of 'I WANNA BE YOUR SLAVE' obviously being another tune, I'm also particularly loving 'CORALINE' <3 (which I believe has been their fourth most popular song worldwide following the Eurovision boost so nice to see it also getting some attention). 'Morirò Da Re', 'FOR YOUR LOVE' and 'VENT'ANNI' are also highlights!

I’ve seen a lot of Måneskin on German tiktok. Berlin is one of the cities that Apple Music released a top 25 for and Beggin is at 2 And Slave at 4.

Italy was only 4th on the German televote but they’re the one that seems to have had a follow on bump from ESC and I’m here for it big time.

Unrelated but still can’t believe how long Wellerman has been at the top end of our charts. It’s insane. They’ve adopted it as some form of quasi Schlager, like an Atemlos for the tiktok generation it’s wild.
