"17 of the artists competing at # Sanremo2022 have received one or more platinum awards in their careers from 2010 onwards. A total of 280 platinum discs accumulated by the cast of the next Festival's BIGs".
The tweet of Enzo Mazza, CEO of Fimi, summarizes the 'firepower' of the artists who will take the stage of the next festival (1-5 February), announced yesterday evening by Amadeus live on Tg1.
Since 2010, the Federation of the music industry has formalized the sales certifications of musical recordings and the platinum disc rewards the 50 thousand copies sold.
Mazza notes "another record" of Sanremo 2022: "I don't think I've ever seen a cast with three artists who were first in the ranking @FIMI_IT and immediately competing at the Festival", he always writes on Twitter. The reference is to Sangiovanni (17 platinum discs), Rkomi (33 platinum) and Blanco (27 platinum), who will compete together with historical voices of Italian music such as Gianni Morandi, Massimo Ranieri, Iva Zanicchi, or consolidated presences such as Noemi, Emma, Elisa, Giusy Ferreri, Fabrizio Moro.
"It is a cast very close to the market trend, to the tastes of the music-consuming audience", comments the CEO of Fimi. "In a very special year, the attractiveness of Sanremo for artists is confirmed: this explains a very strong set of presences".
