Sanremo Music Festival winners discography
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The discography of the Sanremo Music Festival winners includes all the winning singles of the annual Italian Song Festival, better known as the Sanremo Music Festival, a song contest held in the Ligurian city of the same name since 1951 and broadcast by RAI. As of 2026, the Festival has awarded 76 songs, but from 1953 to 1955, from 1957 to 1971, in 1990 and in 1991, each entry was performed by two different acts, resulting in two different releases for each winning song, for a total of 96 singles. The current holder is Sal Da Vinci with his song "Per sempre sì".
Twenty-one Sanremo Music Festival winning songs reached the top spot of the Musica e dischi Singles Chart in the years between 1959, when the first singles chart was introduced in Italy, and 1996. In 1997, the Federation of the Italian Music Industry launched its own official singles chart. Since then, fourteen other winning singles reached number one in Italy. The commercial success in Italy of many Sanremo Music Festival winning entries lasted over the years, resulting in several gold and platinum certifications awarded by FIMI for sales and streaming collected since 2009 by songs originally released in the 1980s, in the 1990s and in the 2000s. Some of the winning songs of the Sanremo Music Festival became international hits after being performed at the Eurovision Song Contest, like Domenico Modugno's "Nel blu dipinto di blu", which took third place in the 1958 contest, Gigliola Cinquetti's "Non ho l'età", which won the European competition in 1964, Mahmood's "Soldi", which placed second in 2019, and the 2021 winning song, "Zitti e buoni" by rock band Måneskin.
