Thanks to everyone who voted!

Our team decided to create a list of all the albums from ESC artists that every fan must have! We spent allmost one year creating it and because ESC 2020 is cancelled we decide to present it you now! Of course we couldn't consider all the artists and of course it might have some we forgot.There are some criteria that we had to consider such as the innovation of an album for its time, its creative aspect, its success, its importance in the history of music and also, not to repeat albums by the same artist. The task was hard and so there is a lot of responsibility. It is not easy to order albums with the tastes of more than 10 people, so we decided to leave the best 25 (in our opinion) in the hands of our readers. Voting took place in the Eurovision week of 2020!

Before the comeback of Italy to Eurovision in the 00’s, and an extra participation in 1997, Enrico Ruggeri was the last participation of the latin country in the contest, back in 1993. Ruggeri was already a famous artist and won the Sanremo Music Festival twice: in 1987 singing "Si può dare di più" ("You can give more") together with Gianni Morandi and Umberto Tozzi and in 1993 singing "Mistero" ("Mystery"). Since 1993 he released more than 20 Albums and right now he just released The theme song for Rai 1 show with the same title “Una storia da cantare”, in which a tribute to great artists is given.

To celebrate a decade in Music, Il Volo releases his album 10 Years - The Best Of, a collection of the greatest hits of the talented trio. 10 Years is being launched in multiple versions, including a special one for Latin America and another for Japan. In iTunes the album has 27 tracks along with a digital booklet. On the other hand, the regular digital and physical versions of the album are composed of 19 tracks, while the CD + DVD format includes the concert they gave this past summer in Matera. In Mexico the album will be available in physical format at the end of November with a special edition. This album contains the best of Il Volo's repertoire, from “O Sole Mio” to “My Way”, through “Grande Amore”; from the bel canto of the Italian tradition to American songs. The first single, as Gianluca revealed t was Sonreirás, released in August. Then the trio published a version of the classic Smile, recorded in Matera, Italy, on digital platforms.

The new song “COME UNA DANZA”  marks the great return of a common story, of a complicity before and behind the scenes, 30 years later "Gente di Mare ".

Together they have already done a piece of the history of Italian music, two great artists with two immense and extraordinary repertoires, two Italian singers who with their songs have been dancing all over the world, but above all two friends: RAF and UMBERTO TOZZI today come back to sing together. Gente di Mare was the Italian entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 1987, placing 3rd. While not winning the Contest the song achieved considerable popularity, becoming a Top 10 hit in most parts of Continental Europe and Scandinavia in the summer of 1987 (#7 Switzerland, #8 Austria, #6 Sweden) and was included on the compilations of Winners and Classics produced to coincide with the Congratulations special in late 2005.

The new song, premiered on Sunday 21st in prime time at "Che tempo che fa" on Rai 1, anticipates the "Raf Tozzi" box that will be released on November 30th.
