ANNA is the most listened to female artist of the year: with his music he scored 6 billion streams, over 4 million certified copies in Italy, 39 Platinum records And 8 Gold discs. Last night she performed at the brand new ChorusLife Arena in Bergamo and it is an unprecedented phenomenon that has conquered an entire generation, with hits and sold out dates that have seen her protagonist in the main festivals in the summer and in autumn with her first club tour.
VERA BADDIE
The album “VERA BADDIE”, written entirely by ANNA, was an earthquake in the Italian music scene, becoming a cultural and social phenomenon through the figure of the “baddie”that is, the portrait of an independent girl today, a promoter of “self-empowerment”, sweet, aware of her own frailties and defects that she knows how to turn into strengths, unapologetic, free and uncensored.
The album records
“VERA BADDIE” is certified double platinum And all his songs have turned out to be real hits, viral on digital platforms and social media: the lead single “30°C” (3xPlatinum), for two weeks at No. 1 on the radio charts this summer as well as the longest-serving song at No. 1 on Spotify this yearthe hit “TT THE GIRLZ” with Niky Savage (2xPlatinum), “BBE” with Lazza (2xPlatinum), “I Love It” with Artie5ive (Platinum), “A girl like me” (Gold), “Tonight” (Gold), which reached No. 2 in the EarOne chart of the most played songs on the radio, “Hello Kitty” with Silly Elly (Gold), “ABC” (Gold) with Tony Boy & ThaSup, “BIKINI” with Guè (Gold) and “Come to the Baddie (Interlude)” (Gold).
On the weekend of publication, the album debuted at #3 on the world album chart on Spotify (also resulting in the most listened to album by a rapper across the globe). Moreover, ANNA thanks to the album beat two important records: that of the 9 consecutive weeks at #1 in the album charts (FIMI/GFK) which had not happened since 2008 for a female artist and that of having the album and the single at the first position of the respective two charts at the same time (it had not happened since 2015 with Adele, who reigned in our country with the album “25” and the hit “Hello” both in first place). It is, finally, the female artist with the most #1 songs in the singles chart (FIMI/GFK) this decade (“Bando”, “Cookies N' Cream” with Guè & Sfera Ebbasta, “EVERYDAY” with Takagi & Ketra, Shiva and Geolier and “30°C”).
ANNA was awarded by Billboard Italia as “Woman of the Year” And next year she will be at the “Billboard Women In Music Awards” in Los Angeles alongside the biggest international stars to receive the “Global Force” award.
