The Italian music market closes 2024 with a positive balance, marked by a significant growth in streaming in the Fimi/Gfk annual Top of the Music rankings, which include all sales and listening channels (physical, digital, premium and free audio streaming , video streaming). Dominating the album charts is Tony Effe with “Icon”, followed by Geolier with “Dio lo sa” and Anna with “Vera baddie”. In the singles, Mahmood reaches the top with “Tuta Gold”, followed by Rose Villain with “Come a thunder” (feat. Guè) and Geolier with “I p' me, tu p' te”. Kid Yugi leads the CD, vinyl and cassette charts with “The Names of the Devil”, followed by Lazza with “Locura” and Taylor Swift with “The Tortured Poets Department”. The presence of women in the charts is strongly increasing, as anticipated by Spotify Italia which has recorded a 110% increase in songs by Italian artists in international editorial playlists since 2021. In the Top 20 Fimi Albums 2024, the number of artists has grown by 300 % compared to the previous year. Anna, with “Vera baddie” in third place, interrupts years of female absence from the annual podium (the last time in 2018) and achieves the best result of the year with 9 weeks in first place in the weekly rankings. The local repertoire continues to dominate, occupying 100% of the Top Ten albums and singles and 84% of the entire Top 100 Albums (+5% compared to 2023).
The charts see the confirmation of the urban and autarchy of the Italian market, with the local repertoire conquering 100% of the Top Ten Albums and Singles, and covering 84% of the Top 100 Albums with an increase of 5% compared to 2023. Suffice it to say that Taylor Swift's “The Tortured Poets Department”, the first international album on the album list, is only sixteenth.
Naturally, the music market is driven by the phenomenon of streaming, which has marked important milestones: in 2024 the segment reached almost 95 billion streams, including premium and free, for an overall growth of 31.1% compared to 2023, confirming the profound change in the way music is consumed in the last decade. At the same time, the physical segment remains stable and continues to maintain its relevance with vinyl growth of 15.7% compared to 2023, thus distributing the weight of the formats: 57.8% vinyl, 40.5% CDs, 1 .7% cassettes and other physical formats.
