There is no summer (and no mid August) without his song. Summer phrases are classics like granite, pizza on the beach, and swimming at midnight. Things that are not always remembered for their quality, but inevitably remain in our memory forever. There is nothing more evocative than a song. So let’s follow 64 years of music under the umbrella today by answering a simple question: who was first in the standings on August 15th?
We relied on the Hit Parade Italia website for the answer, and since 1997 on the FIMI website. We have always chosen the week in which Ferragosto falls (with the exception of this year, in which, for obvious reasons, we had to settle for the last available singles ranking). queens Madonna AND juzy ferreri, the only ones that appear in the list three times. By clicking on the title, you can listen to the song again.
