The lead single "Amami amami" was released on 21 October 2016. Le migliori was the best-selling album in 2016 in Italy.[1] It sold more than 350,000 copies, being certified seven times platinum in Italy.[2]
Background
In March 2015, rumors began in the Italian press of another collaboration between Adriano Celentano and Mina following their 1998 successful album Mina Celentano. Celentano himself hinted at the possibility when he posted a message on his blog to congratulate Mina on her 75th birthday.[3] On 20 October 2015, it was officially confirmed that the two artists would indeed be releasing a new album. At the time of the announcement, the album was scheduled to be released in the spring of 2016. As reported by the Corriere della Sera, recordings began in early summer 2015 and would take place in both Adriano Celentano's studio in Galbiate and Mina's studio in Lugano.[4] The official release date of Le Migliori was finally set for 11 November 2016.[5]
The album's title comes from a quote by Celentano on his blog speaking of their collaboration, meaning "(we are) the best ones". Surprisingly, Celentano used the first feminin plural. For this reason the cover artwork show Mina and Celentano in their younger and older version, with the latter in drag.
