2024 was the year of Tony Effe: confirmation also comes from the annual Fimi/Gfk charts that consecrate his Icon, released on March 15th and quadruple Platinum, the best-selling album of the year. Among the singles in the lead is Mahmood with Tuta Gold. In general, the music market of 2024 closes with an extremely positive balance, between significant data for streaming and a significant increase in the female presence in the Top of the Music by Fimi/GfK charts, which include all existing sales and listening channels (physical, digital, premium and free audio streaming, video streaming).
A year that has seen important goals achieved thanks to a greater diversification of the musical offering - with the result, for example, of pop moving closer to the highest steps of the various weekly podiums - and to the increasingly central role of Italian and international artists. The charts see the confirmation of urban and a new female advance.
In the albums, behind Tony Effe is Geolier with Dio lo sa, followed by Anna with Vera Baddie, who thus ends the long absence from the podium by a female artist (the last time dates back to 2018) with her nine weeks at the top (best result for an artist in 2024). Among the Singles, Rose Villain with Come un tuono (feat. Guè) is in second place, confirming the growing female presence in the Italian music scene; third is Geolier, with the Sanremo song I p' me, tu p' te. In the CD, Vinyl and Cassette charts, Kid Yugi conquers the throne with I nomi del diavolo and Lazza is in second place with Locura; third is the international The Tortured Poets Department by Taylor Swift, demonstrating the global success of female artists.
The promising data on the growing female protagonism in the music market - in addition to having been anticipated last month by Spotify Italy, which since 2021 has recorded a 110% increase in songs by Italian female artists included in international editorial playlists - is also confirmed by the number of female artists present in the Top 20 Fimi Albums 2024, which has grown by 300% compared to the previous year.
